A busy one! As I had set up this morning a group of older teens appeared in Commercial road, I told them about Art for fun not really expecting any success, but heh you have to try. Next thing we had 8 and then a 9th of a group of 17 and 18year olds drawing …
So, Wednesday June 1st and back at the studio for the last two days on what are my normal working days. The art weeks have started well for me, just over a week ago I was worried I wouldn’t sell enough art to cover the studio’s rent last month. Now five days on and the …
May has been a very slow month, unsurprisingly as the cost of living crisis deepens and art is in no way an essential item to be buying. The question in my mind would PAW see the usual art lovers out and about? Two days in and I have taken this month’s sales from my worst …

The last two days have seen me refunding a creative burst alongside rising numbers of art for fun participants – 10 today. I now have two new hats available for sale – Boatlife and Sealife and have started the work on my new personal pith helmet. Two new original postcards drawn yesterday, one has sold …
I lost a week’s trading earlier this month due to my chest infection and reopened on the 13th. Since thenI have had the absolute pleasure to share my drawing tables and the art for fun activity with 67 participants from 2 year olds to adults in their 50/60s . I find myself explaining the background …
