Well Happy happy happy Easter my chums...

Coooooo lummey, it's ben a piggin' cold old do to be sure....snow snow and more snow brrrrrrrr.
Right let's crack on as they say.....I've been well and truely busy..hurrah!

I've finished the book cover to the clients satisfaction....mmmmm....not sure about it as it's so different to what I usually do. However, he liked it which is all that counts really and it does sum up the story and all of that. A pat on the back all round is deserved I feel...here's hoping it leads to other illustration work.

I've got a wee pop up exhibition coming up on 14th April at House For An Art Lover....ooooer posh. The details of which will be on this 'ere invite flyer....please please do feel free to come along and have a wee gander. It'll be full to the brim with art in bloody gorgeous surroundings and you get to munch on cake and have tea....well hurrah and hurrah! I will be exhibiting four paintings..."March Hares" "Trailer Park Crucificion" "Out Damn'd Spot" and my newest..."No Access"
I'm dead excited about it all as this venue is Rene Mackintosh and I just love the place. I also get to meet shed loads of other artists and lots of wonderful peeps....
I'm continuing on my theme of auto biographical work....don't ask me why...reckon it's an age thing. I have this theory that the older you get the more invisible you become....I have no intention of ever being invisible...even if this means looking like a dogs dinner and disgracing myself. Who said old meand boring?....mmmmmmm.......
I'm also checking out other venues to exhibit in....will keep everyone posted as to how that develops.
In the meantime I shall away and busy my person with business and purpose....or eating easter eggs and hot cross buns ho hum...

Thank you for taking the time,

Howdy dooooooody my chums!

Has been a busy old week for me. I've finally finished the book cover which is now undergoing treatment in France ooooer. It's having it's type put on and being client approved. I shall post something up when it is signed off so to speak. Mind...what with all this cloak and dagger stuff...I really hope you think it was worth it lol.
I've finished "Out Damn'd Spot" so old Lady MacB is done, dusted and completely bonkers...hurrah. here's hoping she goes down a strom when being displayed. The whole paintingis stuffed with sybolism and old wives oooer. I have to say to the purists....this is totally my interpretation....mmmm.
