Howdy, I'm Simon Willans
I'm a web designer & developer living in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. I'm currently employed part-time as a web designer at Save9. I am also about to graduate (July, 2009) from the University of Hull, Scarborough Campus, with a degree in Internet Computing. I have a passion and desire for making the web a prettier place, adding creative flare where I can.

Pixel House
Type: Pixel Art
Back when I was crazy-in-love with my pixel art I decided I would draw a house. This project spanned several weeks, with a few hours work being applied here and there. There were no goals of this project other than to see what I could come up with.
