So today after yesterdays marker audit was to include some drawing and see who came through the door sort of plan. Early sales of some cards and then two for Art for Fun, once of whom has a card business so a little bit like coals from Newcastle but a great chat and draw for …
So a solid night’s sleep and a later start but I still fitted in a bit of seafront and gig sighting. Then onto work via two other workplaces to practice Panto care follow up after last nights get together – both were ok. My first visitors of the day were shop son Martin who I …
So one customer, some passers by greetings and window browsers. This morning some friends popped in after their yoga class at the loft community hall and were taken by my Wolf moon and pier piece on wood. The rest of the day I drew, did some linocut editing, read and sat near a radiator when …
So, January 25 I started the cutting of a linocut piece for the first of potentially four different Purbeck drystone wall designs. I had said to myself after my last linocut attempt at Swanage pier thatI must try something easier yet here I was doing something complicated again. In the last two weeks I have …

I have settled in well to having my own space. The needs of working …
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 …
I am aware how my range of art skills is limited. I draw with fineliners in pen and ink style or I use two sorts of marker pens – ProMarker and Posca markers for my colour pieces. A few years ago I had a go at linocut printing with swanage Art workshop and last year …
