I think I'm capable. I think I'm practical. But at the same time I'm a creative and can spend the whole day working on something I have dreamed about. Last night I met up with a couple of mates and I got talking with another creative friend. The odd thing is that although we make things… Continue reading Capable

Someday
People say to me that someday they will have time. Someday they well take the time... It doesn't matter what they are going to do, it just that they are waiting for the time to do it. In the distant past, when our ancestors sat around a fire and shared stories and food do you… Continue reading Someday
Cling
I am not sure why but I cling to the fact I will make it as an artist and writer. Stubbornly so. By my fingernails most of the time. I refuse to give up. Some say that I ought to have made it before now... But I maintain that there is just myself to blame.… Continue reading Cling
Uneven
My art is becoming uneven... It doesn't seem to matter what I draw. I'm going away from this: To more this: My art is becoming looser and somehow free. It is becoming uneven. There is a huge part of me that screams, no! But the rest of me wants to laugh and throw paint around...… Continue reading Uneven
Shine
The world has to shine... For me anyway. Last year ended on a bad note. I was left broken, both physically and mentally. I knew that there would be triggers. That I would be doing something I usually do and then I'd be hit by panic or anxiety, either a feeling or a physical symptom.… Continue reading Shine
Float
I did my first degree in Derby University, and as part of it I got to visit Majorca. Not the commercial side but the hills, mountains and beaches. I was studying art and biology, an odd mix but one that I loved. One walk we went on I remember the heat being overwhelming. I mean… Continue reading Float
Tempted
I have just been contacted on Facebook by someone wanted to learn to draw... I'm tempted... I mean I would have to get the log burner into the workshop... I don't mind working in a slightly cold workshop, but if I was bringing anyone in they would have to be proper heat. The workshop is… Continue reading Tempted
Crossing
I once had a friend in university. The first I went to, so this would have been Derby. I lived on the top floor and pretty much was scared out of my wits. I mean I had never been away from home and there I was in a flat surrounded by strangers, sharing a bathroom… Continue reading Crossing
Today’s tasks
I have been uploading artwork most of the day... I started with Society 6 and the newest addition - The Black Suit - which is up and ready if anyone fancies a bag or a mug or even a t-shirt with it on... Then I moved onto Artfinder and added - The Foxes. This is an… Continue reading Today’s tasks
Gone
I am writing about the Gone... It is the name of my series of books. Yes, it is a zombie-type horror but it is also about humour, friendship and love. I question who the monsters are. Are they the mindless creatures that wonder the world, locked in never-ending hunger or are they the people out… Continue reading Gone
