Hello fellow interwebbers!

 

I was walking down the road today... on my way back from work... And I thought to myself... I could combine my day-job with some web-desing, even though they are... worlds apart.

 

I work in construction, I am architect and a carpenter by lé trade... And I kind of got to thinking, my free-hand drawing skills are extremely good. I've been doing it for years. What if I drew out a website design, scanned it, cut the image up and then put it together with code... A hand-drawn website? +1 for Unique Idea?

 

Obviously it could look extremely **** if done badly. But my drawing skills are second to none.

 

Anyone have an ideas or concerns about this idea? Or if it has been done, show me examples! =O

Some very good examples, but I had something slightly different in mind... =] Thanks for sharing though, I've just got a few good ideas from that! Does anything think I should progress with my idea? I mean... it would look very good in a portfolio to show ones ability to be creative and think outside the box, no?

Positively yes.
