I have a secret. Actually, it is an old one. It has to be. You see I've been doing it for ages, even in public... I do it on the grass, in my workshop, in front of my family, in front of strangers. And all anyone says is - wow. That's good. Or - I… Continue reading Why I draw…

Transformation
I turned up yesterday with two large plastic boxes. Both are ordinary... Both have black lids. I went back to the car and picked up a striped fabric bag about 3 ft by 3ft. I walked into the blank space and yelled hello to everyone. I got shouts and waves back. People started to arrive… Continue reading Transformation
Artifical
I have issues that mean I find it difficult to read other peoples expressions and feelings. What can seem like a fake smile to a someone else I will see as genuine. I can't see it. I have tried but it is difficult. I have very little facial recognition and have lost friends because I've… Continue reading Artifical
Patreon
I had a choice - get a paypal button for the blog so people can 'donate' or a Patreon page. I decided to go with Patreon... It feels better. I offer rewards for what people pledge. Some will get physical artwork and some digital art. Have a look... Money is something I hate to think… Continue reading Patreon
Millions
There has to be that many artworks I have produced. Some are lost... Like the line of kingfishers I drew on a twig, all fluffy and sulky looking. I moved to Wales and forgot that the picture was in a shop. There they remained and now I have no idea where it is. Did it sell? Did… Continue reading Millions

Underground
Imagine a town under the ground... There are shops and people living. Small cottage industries like seamstresses and tailors make the place a bustling town. Everyone is working and the place is a hive of activity. Everyone is poor but they are all in the same boat. Now, imagine that a disease hits, it's nasty.… Continue reading Underground
Getting fit
Really! I decided to. Let's put it this way, a friend wanted me to walk to the top of a hill. It was a fairly steep slope... It took me about 12 stops and I lot of time. He coached me all the way up and I made it. I was so proud... But this… Continue reading Getting fit
Urgent
This morning I woke up with a feeling that wouldn't go away. It hung in the air and made me feel like I was missing something. The last few weeks have been one of change. I have picked up a troll, and my artwork and writing is taking a slightly different turn. Normally one of… Continue reading Urgent
