Today was booking in my print order I collected yesterday, so checking order quantities and updating stock spreadsheet then storing cards in correct storage areas. Plus a bit of shop tidying. No art for fun, some customers a.m. and some nice chats. Art wise I added to the Art for fun hat.
So as the first shift of the month I did my calendar back page to do list which built on ongoing projects and the Purbeck Art Weeks focus coming up. Three art pieces all in different styles. Two completed and one added to. 1) birthday card for Pav, Ben and the team at The Pink …
I am not well enough to spend a day at the shop yet but dropped in to pick up the Posca markers and some items to possibly start drawing on in the next few days. I have stopped predicting when I will reopen but it will come. Inner town was very quiet in contrast to …

Today I did quite a bit at the studio. First was checking the proofs of my new card series of Watersports cards which I dropped off at the printer yesterday. I also tidied up the window, valentines cards. I updated my mask sign, ie I will respect customer choice and wear my mask if they …
This morning I focused on cutting more of the linocut of a drystone wall and then using it to produce my third trial piece. I am please with the development and pleasantly surprised that I had the patience after realising yesterday that it really was too complex for your fifth ever design – I might …
So a quiet Friday at the studio / shop. One customer, some visitors and I kept busy. This morning I continued with the Posca pens on wood piece of the Wolf moon rise. I added a second layer of paint to all aspects and then light on pier edges and timbers. Very pleased and it …
