HOW ART WORKS

My friend in Vietnam emailed me today after we had a discussion about promotion, art, success, life (sounds deep but it was mainly nonsense) etc.

the email showed only this link, to a video;

I cannot stress to you how much i enjoyed the 12 minutes or so that it lasted but i certainly got me thinking about things.

you must watch this, its great...

A few people have been looking over my work and suggested i try and get some colour into it. Most of my drawings are just tonal drawings. It's taken a long time to figure out how to do this but here it is...

New drawing and maybe a new way of introducing colour into my work without compromising too much. This is mike the tractor.

This weeks wedding invites, 1 week, 40 invites with two types of envelopes (all hand made).

I got the email from the AOI the other day about the images 36 annual. very exciting to be in there this year and to be exhibited.

Happy new year all and here is to an exciting 2012
