Inspirations #1: Kevin “Silent Bob” Smith

Hello, and welcome to a new section of this blog that has, up until now, been pretty devoid of content.

Welcome to Skyscraper!

For the past couple of years now Euan and I have been working on a variety of projects together. Now we’ve decided that it’s about time we had a website to showcase them all. This site should hopefully be expanded upon in the near-future, but for now it’ll sit in this state. Euan and I […]
