MacUser 20/20 interview

Shameless plug ahoy. The latest issue of the UK’s MacUser magazine (2nd September, #18) has a double-spread interview with myself, for its ‘20/20’ series. It was all a bit of rush, so my answers aren’t the most entertaining or eloquently written, but I’m as chuffed as Jack the Biscuit to be in there! ;o)

Frankly, I am suprised they you didn’t have them stop the presses to add a certain logo, which should all being well, be just left off this comment!

Congrats Jon, you are mainstream now! :)

noel said 1134 days ago:

You went to collage in blackpool?

what was the reasoning behind that?

Jon Hicks said 1134 days ago:

John – but Denis did that logo! He can get his own spread!

Noel – Simple. It had the best course in wildlife illustration in the country.

Karen said 1134 days ago:

Congratulations Jon, I just flicked through the new issue this evening and saw your write-up. I hope that you get your chance to work on OmniWeb’s interface – I’d love to see what you’d do with it. I always think that OmniWeb is nearly brilliant, if only it were a little faster and a little better looking (particularly the toolbar icons).

Never posted before here, but have lurked for ages. Always loved the editorial quality of MacUser and full kudos for getting the article – well deserved. Must remember to do a browser icon sometime…just kidding!! Enjoy the cheese! :D

Dave Haywood Smith said 1134 days ago:

Congratulations, Mr Hicks!
Will buy a copy if I see one.

stilist said 1134 days ago:

Congratulations!

I’d never have guessed that you were originally a wildlife illustrator, as not much of your major work seems to bear any relation. Do you still do a bit for relaxation?

#20

Dave said 1134 days ago:

Wildlife illustrator?! You kept that quiet! Well done, you are an inspiration to us all but his is only the beginning….right?

#21

Alastair said 1134 days ago:

Congratulations, that’s really cool :)

I stopped reading MacUser many months ago, but I’ll just have to pick up this issue.

Rutger said 1134 days ago:

Thank!!

Martin Smith said 1133 days ago:

Nice one Jon! A little late but… While we’re on shameless plugs… Part 3 of my feature tutorial on building a basic site with standards for What-Laptop magazine is available in all good newsagents now!!! ;-)

#25

Jon Hicks said 1133 days ago:

I don’t do the wildlife illustration anymore, more’s the pity. I really miss the feel of brush, paint and paper.

#26

Massimo said 1133 days ago:

Congrats!!! E]

...And there’s nothing like good old brush, paint & paper..!

#27

Paul Lloyd said 1133 days ago:

That’s amazing – congrats Jon!

I used to draw a lot too when I was younger – something I really need to start doing again.

#28

Mark said 1133 days ago:

Congrats Mr. Hicks! You sure deserve it. At the risk of sounding like a babbling baboon you are indeed an inspiration and a driving force.

goodwitch said 1133 days ago:

So Jon, could I interest you in a pair of socks in exchange for an autographed copy of your interview???

Matt Lindop said 1131 days ago:

Wow – talking of shameless plugs, thanks for that whollopingly big mention of your ravishing designs for The Escape Committee!
Denis – to answer your question, the site certainly is (at last) live !
Jon, as I believe we may have mentioned before, we are but trembling ewoks to your shiny C3PO…
