Well, 2010 has already been an eventful year with lots of lovely new people in my life and a new puppy called Bobo... he's an Italian Spinone and amazing!...he makes me really happy!... although he is now 6 months old and not listening to a word I say! Also making some lovely contacts that are taking me in the direction I want to head.. Surrounding myself with people who have a vision and work hard to complete and reach a goal.  

My blog can be found here...a more up to date way of following my ramblings and sketches etc, especially from college.... just some of the same kind of thing with some stuff that inspires me too. It's more up to date than this site so you'll see lots more of what's happening right now. You can follow the antics of my collective art group hi5. Changing spaces in Truro city and St Austell and maybe Newquay in the future, Bringing art in to the city and bringing energy to otherwise uninspiring, empty shops. It's all very exciting and has gone soo well. I'm so excited about it all. I've also started working on plyboard instead of canvas and thoroughly enjoying it.. I don't think I'll go back to canvas now.. too plastic? 

The work I did for a show for hi5 last year went straight down to Trelissick Gallery in Cornwall. A lovely Gallery in a National Trust House and gardens and has mostly sold so the new ones from the St Austell show will hopefully head that way. I was also filmed by WDR TV in Germany, for Wunderschoen travel documentary and was shown on the 18th July in Germany. They were interested in the flowers I paint and the children's books. You can see pictures from the shoot on my blog. I have had enquiries already!

I have just finished another book for Little Tiger Press and college work is getting more fun which is great albeit very challenging! Really enjoying working with new characters....and hoping to get more time very soon to move it all forward. Having worked on some more cards for Papyrus I am just starting my next book with Little Tiger and just handing my next Unit project for college in. I am working with Angus and Julia Stone on various projects. Artwork for both Angus and Julia's solo albums, and a t'shirt design and an animation for their manager.

I have been rowing hard all year and the Scilly Champs went really well... with a great crew! we won two of our races and came 37th over all which was great out of 120 boats!. Bobo was the most famous dog on Scilly is now our unofficial mascot!

I'm sure there's lots more news I've missed so will update again soon! x
