A few weeks ago, my lovely friend Sylvie Foxworthy asked me to build a website for her to showcase primarily her jewellery making, but which would incorporate a blog as she wanted to include other aspects of her life, cooking, family etc. As with all things, that initial discussion of her needs was put off many times due to the demands of family and work, but finally, we agreed a brief and I got on with it.

I know I don’t post much about my web design on here, not really sure why, perhaps because it’s more problematic and stress inducing sometimes that the simple business of creating art. Anyway, sometimes it goes well, sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes you have a great client, sometimes you don’t.

Well, I finally finished and listed my 2012 Wall Calendar yesterday, and against the odds. This should have been finished over a month ago, but sadly real life commitments got in the way, e.g commissions and taking care of a sick littleun. Still, better late than never. I am very pleased with it indeed and it was worth the effort as it looks really lovely if I do say so myself. Printed on premium matter heavy weight paper, and using Vivera archival inks. It’s simple and classy. If you are interested in purchasing any original pieces, postcards and prints then please visit my ART SHOP.

Despite the press of commissions, both artistic and web design, I have finished a few sketchbook pieces. Sadly, the photographs don’t do them justice, because the light is dreadful at the moment.

I am very into shoes at the moment, well, accessories in general really, and will be featuring more of the same in future artwork.
