Some good advice I’ve just received some pertinent but very useful advice. (Thanks Ken). It takes someone else to point out what’s under your nose. In a nutshell: stop fannying around. I’m wasting time working on too many ideas at […]
Can I omit the pen altogether?
I have to arrange a meeting this week with the Butterfly Park committee to discuss the paperwork terms and conditions of the grant offer before signing an agreement. My problem is that from what I can gather the money will […]

Still more drawing for now.
I’m in Scotland and being reminded all over again about how great it is to be here for this festive time of year. The Christmas trees and lights almost invariably stay up until Twelfth night and there’s not that sense […]

Research project and associated writing is finished, printed and ready to hand in. I’ll stop going on and on and on about it now. Promise.
Making shapes: a kind of writing practice. But the pen’s still in the way.
Here we go again……another email scam. Do artists ever fall for these? Dear Wendy Williams, Your artwork has caught our eye and we are keen to exhibit your work in our galleries based in Mayfair, London and Paris. I would […]
