New work in 2015

Hello anyone who is still out there reading this. I've not posted for some time now but I hope you're all still out there. Christmas 2014 was crazily amazing, I co-organised my first print fair, helped set up a Christmas pop-up shop full of local artists and designers and sold out of a couple of editions of prints! (well they were short runs..)

It was my best Christmas yet for exposure and sales, but I have to tell you that I still need to work a 'day' job to pay the bills, and in November last year it was also time to start a new 'day' job. This has meant much less time for art-making, but I hope it will work out to be a more sustainable way for me to live in the long-term.

As a result of all these changes, I have decided to make 2015 all about getting better at my art and focusing on new personal work. This means this little blog will probably be even quieter and I am going to pretty much abandon all forms of marketing until I have a decent body of work to show you.

In the meantime, here are a few peeks of works in progress and some breathtaking mountains that I recently climbed.
