It is exactly a year since I took up the first serious, regular exercise in my 44 year life. Trying to fit jogging in around work and everything else is not easy, but I do make it a priority. Its som...
I very rarely take on custom commissions and to be honest, I was a bit doubtful about taking this one on, as I couldnt immediately *see* it in my head. Although Ive done normal ladybird designs befor...

Apologies for the lateness of the draw and riddle solutions - after posting my brain teasers last week, I succumbed to an anonymous, head-clouting winter lurgy and am only just up and doing again. So...
One of the small joys of keeping things (I prefer the term treasurer to hoarder) - is finding bits of your old self, maybe in the form of writing. Today I have found two old riddles I composed many y...
Geoffrey is the first giraffe I have been asked to do. I tried various designs, from very stylised to uber-cutesy baby animal style. In the end he was a mixture of all of them, the right hand page be...
