DOWNLOAD MY 2011 XMAS CARD

I've been riding a beat up old mountain bike for a few years now, and when I heard the mountain bike was invented by hippies in the hills of northern California in the ’70sand that Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead was a part of that movement I was just a little bit excited.

This image is a little tribute to Bob and all those hippies whose daredevil exploits and mechanical ingenuity went into creating what is the most versatile form of transport going.

At the bottom of this page you can download my 2011 Christmas card which is adapted from this image. SEASON’s GREETINGS TO ONE AND ALL!

Also, some of my photos from the last Mostly Jazz Festival have started to go up on . They incude these photos of Vic Evans and Andy Hamilton below.

This is my comment as a former News International emloyee of a quarter of a century ago. It was galling to see New Labour get into bed with the Dirty Digger and now, at last, we can say "I told yoy so!!"

To see it at it's best go to Vimeo and view in full-screen and HD

He is heavily involved in the local Jazz Scene and works with Andy Hamilton to promote Jazz acts at Bearwood Corks Club in Smethwick.

Drawing of a willow pattern pot His Art is underpinned by a high standard of drawing. It was a sculpture of the Tin Man in the Lickey Hills and a painting of Andy Hamilton in the ReLocation exhibition in Smethwick that attracted most attention. Photography is finding an ever more important place in his work and he is now getting to grips with video.

OLJ Web Resource and HTMLTutorial

Home for OnLineJones digital photos. Flickr is intended to be a showcase for the very best of my digital photos (up to 200). Happy browsing.

I’ve started a Picasa Photo Gallery. Having filled my Flickr I've started uploading to Picasa. On Picasa you can organise photos into albums which is ideal for recording events.

Youtube.com/onlinejones has plenty of video I've posted from Bearwood Corks, Andy Hamilton's Drum and Symphony Hall gigs and The Acoustic Theatre. There's also higher quality video in the Video Gallery onthis site.

Vimeo.com/onlinejones is another video site, but allows higher quality than Youtube, wide screen format and high definition. Unfortunately you can't put as much up there, put what you put up can be downloaded.

NowPublic.com/onlinejones is a "crowd powered" news channel where we, the public, write the news. Also you can upload video and photos, and the quality is really rather good.

OnLineJones Web Design Tutorial is hosted on Geocities.I built this when I was teaching a few years ago. It's a bit out of date - no style sheets yet - but it teaches the principles of HTML coding OK.

FRIENDS INSTITUTE LIFE STUDY GROUP IN BIRMINGHAM

I keep my drawing in shape with the Life Study group at the Friends Institute in the Moseley Road, Highgate, Birmingham.

We're an informal, untutored group who meet every Tuesday, and our numbers include everyone from practising Artists and Art Lecturers to hobbyists and absolute beginners; everbody's welcome.

We continue to run during holiday periods and we charge on a sessional basis (not by the term). Special rates are available for full time students on Art, Design or related subjects.

I first tried to get Broadband with BT inJanuary, 2005. I tried different ISPs without success, but just when it seemed that no-one was going to connect me on a BT landline and my landlord was starting to get used to the idea of possibly allowing cable into the house TalkTalk came good and I was connected. If you want to read the story in full and find out how TalkTalk came good where others have failed . . .
