Well here it is, "If it aint broke don't fix it"
What sort of mind makes something like this anyway.
Your thoughts are welcome, make a comment on Dave's psychological profile message board

The cogs on the inside of this "machine" have been taken out and made into an animation as well, the worm sort of looks good in a larger version.

Maybe next week we will see the Dalek attacking the Gatso.





1st Sept 2007



The flags that Dave made last week have been uploaded.
Some spider webs have been added to the spider page

One of Dave's favourite sayings is "If it aint broke - don't fix it" , he could do with fixing as he is always broke. He has started working on one of the strangest gif animations I have ever seen with this saying in mind.
I hope he gets it made by next week so that you can all see it and wonder at the sanity of our talented animator.

Seems his workmates have been encouraging him again with the Gatso business and are trying to get him to make a Flash movie of a Dalek attack on a Gatso (speed camera).

OK - He is just a big kid really, sits down and spends a couple of hours making this animation and then cackles uncontrollably as he watches it.
Its not funny and his work mates should not encourage him making things like this. Dave has kept his word this week and made some Gatso animations here

He has also made some more animated flags as requested, namely Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua for this page but at the time of writing he had not uploaded them.

Dave has got some nice spiders on this site but no spider webs so maybe next week we will see one.

Dave got a speeding ticket this week for doing 36 mph in a 30mph area.
He gets another car and thinks he is a racing driver, he said he was keeping up with the flow of the traffic. A GATSO speed trap camera could well be one of the next animations. Just how can you animated one though.

Often we get emails saying that our animations are awesome, we thank you for that. It gave Dave an idea and so this page was created.

Red seems to be the favourite colour these past couple of weeks

A set of red curtains - just what you want!!? - it was Dave's idea not mine
He has put these on the page with the wrought iron gates, you can then put an image in the background, we have put enter, but you could put anything. The mind boggles!.

He has also made a Hearts and Brighton spinning logo for your mobile phone.

I said to Dave that the Sevenoaksart logo looked a bit plain for an animation site so all he has done is add a couple of butterflies, better than nothing I suppose.

Dave went back to work for 2 days and because the factory he works for closes down for the summer holiday he is having another 2 weeks holiday.

He has more than enough to keep him busy in the garden with all the rain we have had recently but he has also updated the English football animations ready for this season

Wot no Gravy has been added to the Chad animations for Shanon in Oklahoma who tells us that they eat everything, and she means everything, with gravy.

Requests for animated pucks are still coming in and Dave has made a few more here

We have a community magazine delivered to us once a month and we have had permission to post one of Murial Rurials compositions on our web site, it would only make sense if you know Borough Green though.

We have just returned from two weeks in Cyprus and we stayed in Lysos again, we had a holiday we will never forget thanks to our Greek friends Toulla Petros and Marios who thoroughly spoiled us.

Before we left Dave had made the windmill and it can be found here

We now have a few requests for spinning puck animations which will be made in the next few days.

The "Chad" animations will have another animation soon as "wot no gravy" has been requested.

Dave is far from perfect, I know as I have to live with him and it seems that the switzerland flag is not animating correctly (No animated background) this will be corrected shortly. We were emailed and told about this problem so if you do find anything that does not work correctly (apart from Dave) please contact me.

Want your ice hockey team on a spinning puck - have a look at this page

Spinning team logos are the thing at the moment as a couple of English football ones have been added

For some strange reason Dave took a photo of the key to the Villa we rented in Cyprus a few weeks back , this key can now be found as an animation on this page

Dave has been looking at pictures of windmills so I have this strange feeling that windmill animations will soon appear

Some of our animations have ended up in other gif collections on the web. We do not mind this but Dave does like credit for any of his work and is not impressed when people add his work to their collections under the pretence that they have made them.
We are only now discovering that Sevenoaksart is one of the few amateur websites offering free animations that are truly original and all copyrights belong to us.
We are happy to offer these animations free for all non commercial purposes and appreciate a link back to us if used on a web site.

The weather has not been brilliant in Sevenoaks so we added a brolley (with other weather animations) to the collection

The sun animation animation is pretty awful but is makes Dave laugh
