I have been quiet for a while! After the show I took a little break – the first in a very long time. And have been getting back into a variety of projects slowly. I even had a break from painting although I’m getting twitchy around paintbrushes now – its definitely time to pick them [...]

The three covers

…are done! Complete, polished-off, kaput, done, done and done. (Do I sound relieved?) And I’m really happy with them. It’s been a very interesting project and a very hard one. Here are some of the unique challenges: * Having three dramatic phases of picture – usually there is one focal point and the rest organises [...]

update

Hello gang. Ok. I often don’t do this because I’m scared of publishers knowing how many things I’m working on at once! But here’s what I’m up to this month… It’s a partcuarly busy one and all great projects (which is why I couldn’t say no! Also, money is useful.). I’m leaving great swathes of [...]
