I’d like to be able to say I created the images with something cool like fuzzy felt, but atually it was Microsoft Powerpoint.
Inspiration was from Chris Heathcote’s Abstract Pointillist Toolkit. If you’re ever short of a GeekUp talk I reckon you could just put Chris’ slides up and challenge anyone to improvise around them.

Thanks again for speaking at GeekUp – thought your talk was superb! Great write-up too!

I meant to ask you how you put the images together for your slides, think they worked brilliantly for a 20/20!

Cheers,

Deb

Pleased to hear that. Matthew Murray was the engine-builder, and the railway was (and still is!) at Middleton.

Cheers,
Matt
