[This is an archived version of my home site from 1995. The only changes are this blurb and the email address. For something more up to date go to www.gyford.com.]

Well, the stuff below was up to date, but things change quickly. I now work for Wired magazine in London, as System Administrator (or 'geek', if you find it simpler). All rather sudden, and all very exciting. I'll actually update the rest of this sometime, but right now, I really should get on with my packing...

, the blurb about me. I'm 24 and live in Bristol, in the UK. I came here five years ago to study Graphic Design at the University of the West of England, where I spent a couple of years doing a huge variety of fun things before producing a final exhibition of illustrations.

After six months of lugging a portfolio round London I decided the world of illustration wasn't for me, and managed to get some freelance work making models for Aardman Animations here in Bristol.

, in search of regular cash and new experience, I work part-time pasting up pages of the local paper, the Bristol Evening Post. This leaves me with plenty of time to fiddle around with stuff like this, and to stay up till the early hours chatting to North Americans with too much time on their hands (not like me of course, no sir...).

Rather than be showered with assorted photos of friends, family and pet cats, you can, if you so desire, look at this 140K JPEG of the 15 Raleigh Road photoboard.
