Journal
I Have got MY A0 SIZE DRAWING BOARD my mum when apesheet over the size. Its bigger than me! I love it Just need a stool now.so im rather happy. Im working on rearanging the whole of my room which is a big task for me since im only 4Foot10, though i can when pushed lift 60KG (if my brother gets stuck under his weight bench!) So appols for lack of work, I just need to get set up then i will be back to my normalish doddly self.

Im going to a craft show.
Yep Im going to be in an arts and crfts show at Denefield School, long lane Reading. Berkshire. I will be doing a stand with a friend of mine who makes the most wonderful cards see [link]
I will be selling B&W colour in sheets, My bookmarks and some Colour prints of say my football dragon etc etc...
The thing is i wonder if im good enough for this yet. Should i even be trying to play with the big kids? Im not half as good as people here and it has me douting my capabilities. If you saw my work would you buy it? Or am i just being a nervous twit. Im not scarred of the event im used to loads of people and have training in customer support/sales areas. It the feed back i get im worried about.I know i need to try harder at my work, but i guess life keeps getting in the way. if anyone can give me any feed back, advise it would be much appriciated.

If anyone likes hand made cards see my friend at [link] where you can view her great work.

To the great people i work with, I hope you like the shots of the office flora & fauna.No complaining about the squirrel eaither! She's better off eating peanuts than bird eggs. Plus im trying to teach her sign language. If you wish to make any comments please feel free to send me an email........Or grap me in the corridor as i run past


How I work
The mediums I use for my work are Tria Markers, Indian Ink, and CS3. I have been drawing since I could chew a pencil. I cant go anywhere without a pencil and pad of paper.

Photo Tip
If people wish to attract wildlife or get good photos I recomend a good bait. For example in the UK I use a company called CJwildbird Foods. They sell everything from seed, mealworms (live or dried) through to hedgehog food. They are expensive, but you get a supperior product. Cheap bird/animal foods are ok but they can carry bacteria and (some in peanuts can cause pheumonia like symtoms to humans) I use products which have peanutflower instead of animals rendered fat, which everyone seems to like. If you rub it on trees you can get birds to sit and peck away whilst you take the photos. (can be used with foxes/badgers to) I hope this helps those who wish to get fun photos without having to travel to far.

My gallery is broken in to the following groups.
Charaters [link]
Cats [link]
Wildlife Home area [link]
Unicorns and Tridiorns [link]
Wildlife at work [link]
Dragons [link]
Crafts [link]
Zoo photos [link]
Story Characters [link]
Wip & future Ideas
I brought CS3 from a supplier on amazon called "nextdaydeliverysoftware" I ordered it on Sunday and got it on Tuesday. Fully sealed pruduct the service was great and very helpfull.If anyone wants CS3 in the UK this is a company worth checking out. I paid under £400.00 for it when it retails at over £550.00. Just go to amazon and type in CS3 then look under new and used.
Im going to be woring on realistic drawings so you might see a change to my work.
