We all make them. Sometimes they are small ones... That we will promise to say hi to someone we next see and other times they are huge. I try not to make many. I hate not being able to follow through with them. But at the same time I am a great advocate of promises.… Continue reading Promises

Realise
Today I realised that I got to be happy with the now and not worry about the future so much. And I do worry about the future. I worry that the art will be a failure, that the books won't sell and that I will be a pauper... Now that is all just silly. The… Continue reading Realise

Everyone is doing inktober... And I'm not. Should I be though? Well, I already draw everyday so it seems silly to add more onto my plate. And those drawing are all digital at the moment. Don't get me wrong. I am doing a load of pencil drawings but they are for artwork that is due… Continue reading Art
Tree
You know I once knew a woodsman... A guy who owned a husky and worked in the woods. In fact, as far as I know he is still there. I was doing a load of courses at a place called Denmark Farm and one of those courses was to create a composting loo. Why? I… Continue reading Tree
Breakthrough
I did the book fair... I shook to about noon and then after that I settled a little. It is strange to be in a place filled by readers. They were all looking for books and they want to talk to you...

Something that not many artists do. The odd thing is that it is an exact copy of my drawing technique. Maybe… Continue reading Test
Facade
I get depressed sometimes. Normally just as the bills come in but it is a quick fleeting thing and then I am back in the world of art or buried in the latest book I'm writing. It never lasts more than a week until something happens that will bring me out of it. It can… Continue reading Facade
Disagree
So far today has been disagreeable... I hate taking time out of my work - I love drawing and writing and the deadlines I have are slowly getting closer. In fact, some are not so slow in arriving. But today I had to go into town. I needed to see the bank. Now I like my… Continue reading Disagree
Unfinished
I have a couple of projects on the go but one of them needs to be complete before mid October. And it is going slowly. It started when I was sorting a piece of artwork for a project... You must remember? It was this piece... It was the first time I had folded Bristol board… Continue reading Unfinished
