Singing Birthday Ecards
free e-cards - click category link below:
This is my take on the fat, bloated, over-saturated free ecard market. Most free ecards I've found are grotty, soppy, cheesy pap. So I've made a load of my own free ecards, with which you will be able to send to your aunties, uncles, long lost second cousins twice removed, and remote ancestors. Don't delay, send a free ecard, at some point.
What you won't find here is a bloated list of thousands of designs, most of which look the same, insipid, dull or pointless. Hopefully you will instead find a tasteful list of original ecards - depending on your taste of course! One man's soft-focus kitten sat in a basket smothered in ribbons is another man's cue to vomit into his pie and chips!
Shop
Some of my doodles and photos are available for sale as cards in the shop. A random selection are shown below.
Desktop Wallpaper
Hi-res desktop wallpapers (1024x768). A load of them have been used in the ecards section of the site (George Bush & Tony Blair and Anti-War).
Doodle Gallery
I love drawing doodles. I have a box with a load of them in, which is growing as I devote more and more of my life to doodling in idle moments. Rather than throw them away, I have collected them, and photographed them, and put them online. A random assortment are shown below. All of them are in the doodles gallery, and all of them can also be sent as an ecard as well. Some have also made it onto some of my printed cards over in the cardshop.
Photo Galleries
I started this site in December 1999 as a place to put some of my photos online. I still do that, but have added other things to the site as time has passed. Eight random photos are shown below. You can view the photos in a variety of different flavours, and you can send any photo as a photo ecard.
open-source flash .fla downloads
There are 30-odd open source Flash .flas in this section of the site. Have a look at them, and download the source .flas if you like. There are some flash examples below - there are quite a few more flash open source things in my open-source flash section and you can also send some of them in the flash ecards section of the site.

Updates
April 20th 2008
I've had a sort of "news" section on the site for many years, and will keep it running, but have now started a blog as well. Now I'm sure you used to love all of the intensely interesting updates I used to make, and will likewise be just as excited by all of the tedious, dull, mundane crap that I will drivel on about in my blog. Like there aren't enough blogs out there already, will millions and millions clamouring for attention. Now I am adding my name to the "look-at-me-look-at-me" list. Still, I have often wanted to expand on stuff, but have felt like jimpix isn't the best place to do it.

Jeremiah Ridgeway Afghanistan Photo Essay -- A photo essay by a member of the US Military. There are lots of brilliant photos, but this one is my favourite... and this one is 2nd...

Life Before Death -- Amazingly profound photos, of people when they were alive, and then when they had died. It is morbid, perhaps. It is also a reminder that life is so short, that we must grab it with both hands, before we have used it all up.

A couple of weeks ago, I changed the ecard script to allow users to "garnish" their ecard with a load of links I like. This is an opt-in thing, and users get to preview the links before they send. They are links to political sites, great books, and so on, stuff that isn't about capitalism, instead, stuff that's about beauty, compassion, and so on. I like the links so much, that in the top-navigation of each page on the site, there is now a link to "Read Before You Die"....

The central mystery of the modern state is this. The necessary resources, both economic and political, will always be found for the purpose of terminating life. The project of preserving it will always struggle. When did you last see a soldier shaking a tin for a new rifle? Or a sponsored marathon raising money for nuclear weapons? But we must beg and cajole each other for funds whenever a hospital wants a new dialysis machine. If the money and determination expended on waging war with Iraq had been used to tackle climate change, our carbon emissions would already be in freefall. If as much money were spent on foreign aid as on fighter planes, no one would ever go hungry.
The quote above, by George Monbiot has been going through my mind a lot recently. From his article, Asserting Our Right to Kill and Maim Civilians.
