Everyone gets it... You anticipate a meal or a new dress. You sit at the edge of your seat waiting for the newest movie to start in the cinema. It is the crawling butterfly sensation that leaves you feeling slightly sick and excited. The anticipation can leave you making a mistake or doing something silly.… Continue reading Anticipation

Sincere
When I was studying for my degree, a joint in Biology and Art, I had a friend. We didn't really start hanging out until the second year. By the third year we had rooms next to each other. I was a different person then. I was naive and people could take advantage of me. I… Continue reading Sincere

I am working on a series for hares. I love the animal and think they are calming. So as it is almost time to pop some art in the hospital for the Christmas period I decided to start the series that has been playing around in my head. It is actually 5 pieces but the… Continue reading Copycat
Why I draw…
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…
Artifical

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

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

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
