Dave has now made a selection of bullets and page dividers as well as some backgrounds, we used this tiled background for a while on this site but at the moment we have settled for the blue gradient



 

If anybody wants to use a Sevenoaks Art animation reduced in size as a bullet they are most welcome to do so and if you have any problems reducing it in size just email us.
It is also possible to use our animations as a web page background although I would advice you to do so in a limited way or even "fade" the animation.

Sometimes Dave does not listen to me. I thought we would see some new toilet animations and what do we get ... "No audio ads" animations
People that visit this site are not interested in them. Dave said that if that was the case he should make some animations about it. Blimey.... he would make an animation about anything and our site just about proves that.

Anyway that apart, he has been working on toilets, Bullets and page dividers, and even special "award" animations but one thing is for sure... we will not be awarding any awards out , you will be able to help yourself.

We had a request for a support MS awareness ribbon.. it has been made

Have a Happy Easter.

Dot and Dave

Dave it not too sure what he is on about, nothing unusual with that, but he has made some American football animated gifs but knows absolutely nothing about the game and certainly less than he does about English soccer, see what you think anyway, the gifs are here.

He has been playing about with some of the toilet animations so maybe some new toilet gifs next week.

Don't forget .... St Patrick's day is just around the corner and the logo banner at the top of the page is linking to our Easter animations. Dave has been just a little too bit clever , giving a countdown to Easter, a link to the Easter gifs and wandering clouds in the background as well. Shame it does not always work properly.

Because we have Google ads on our site we have added a Privacy Policy to our site. It does not make for exciting reading but does explain a few things. Thanks goes to www.jensense.com for help in making it.

Do you like the new Logo/ Easter gifs ads at the top of the page, Dave has been experimenting again, you cannot stop him in the Winter but as soon as the weather gets warmer the animations stop and he starts sitting in the garden with just his shorts on and sipping his Southern Comfort. Not a pretty site.

The pens and pencils page has been completed and Dave is now working on some American football gifs

The Flash aquarium animations have been taking up Dave's time and he has a nice collection now. Hopefully over the weekend he will make some sample html pages that will display the aquariums so that you do not have to make a page yourself.
If anybody has trouble inserting these aquariums into your web pages just let us know.

Dave came into the bedroom with the biggest sledgehammer you could hope to see. When I asked him about it he said that he had several emails telling him that he would make me happy by bringing an enormous tool into the bedroom with him.
Something should be done about all these spam emails, they only confuse poor old Dave. Sevenoaks art spam available here

Pens and pencil animations are still on the drawing board but Dave has added a few more Mother's day animations

He has come up trumps and made what he said he would although you will probably have to be British to appreciate the animation posted here.
Eat free range eggs as we have been told by Jamie Oliver can be found here

Our index page is looking just a little fishy at the moment because Dave has decided to re introduce some of the Flash aquarium animations he made for Wallop.
They have been posted on some free web pages we found at www.000webhost.com and because they give a lot of free space and bandwidth we thought that we would give it a try. This new site is in the early days at the moment but will be improved and new aquariums will be added.

We found some old animations of pencils so it looks like the project for next week might well be a page with pens and pencils. (I know, pretty boring but someone might want them)

Its Valentines Day , we have some gif animations for the occasion but we do not have to tell you as Dave has made his logo into an advertisement for them..... Not very subtle Dave, he does like to experiment.
What did I get for Valentines day, nothing specifically but he is taking me to Cyprus for a week at Easter so I am quite a happy girl.

He liked my idea about American politics and has not only updated some of the faces but has also updated the Republican, Democrat page
I am not too sure why he like sticking strange hats on these people, must be a reason but knowing Dave reason never seems to come into the equation.

Make a chicken happy animated gifs are still on the drawing board, do not hold your breath though as Dave is just as likely to come up with something totally different next week.

Whoever suggested a sea turtle as an animation has given Dave a right headache.
He has been trying to make just the shell at the moment and it is not working with the 3D software that he has. He has made a couple of drums though and the teddy does seem to be enjoying himself.
Dave received a cheeky request for some free range egg animations so he will probably have a go at them. Sounds good to me, make a chicken happy or something like that.

I suggested that he should also update some of the faces as American politics are very much in the news at the moment, we will have to wait and see with this one.

Another good idea from Ruth who often leaves messages on our forum.
"Get well soon gif animations", Dave has excelled himself with this new lot of animations even if he has used Chad in a couple of them.
Other suggestions have been animated drums and sea turtles so goodness knows what we will see next week.

Dave has also made a page with standard banner sizes on and you are free to use his work in any banners you make. Whenever possible give him credit for his work. He is very vain and loves to see his name or Sevenoaksart mentioned on any websites, it never has taken much to keep him happy. Might be the secret to our 31 years of marriage but more likely because I have learned to put up with his strange ways.

We are trying out a new form of advertising called Pay per Play.This is a completely new idea for the blogger and small website owner to earn for every 5 second audio advert that is played on your site. Dave laughed at this idea as he never has his speakers on anyway but has agreed to give this project a go, anything that helps towards the web hosting of an ever growing site like this one helps. It comes into operation 1st Feb and some pages (not all) will have these audio adverts, let us know if you do not like these adverts as our visitors preferences are important. Please note: you have told us that you do not like the idea so we have decided not to implement it on this site.

The digital television animations have now been completed and are on show here
