The Beatrix Potter series were excellent, a books called Paddy’s New Hat was brilliant, but the crappy little thumb-sized books we once got in a Christmas cracker were best. From memory the stories weren’t good and [...]

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

By elise | Published: April 25, 2009
