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

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
Test
I had an experiment yesterday. About three months ago I bought Wacom tablet and moved into the world of digital art. I tried looking for a style and then I found something I loved doing. 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

Dilemma

Panic
Me and panic, or should that be panic and I, are on first name basis. I can panic about loads of stuff, I guess that everyone must be the same. I pull out of a junction and I don't see a car - a close shave... Or take yesterday. I decided to take my pup… Continue reading Panic
Generous
I try to be. Everyday I try to be there for people. Even if it means I don't get what I need to get done. Even when I have a character paused just as they are about to dodge a bullet, or not, I will be there. I don't have a lot of money but… Continue reading Generous
Jump
It can be a scary leap... I remember doing it. One minute I'm a student and wondering what I'm going to do in the world and then I have my own business. At first I drew animals... and I loved it. Making toys had been my hobby but people started asking for them. And I… Continue reading Jump
