Well, I thought I'd let my little ambassador do the talking (sound on)...
Thank you to all my customers in 2025, and everyone I've drawn with online and in person - you've inspired me to create new work and play with media. #Art

Had a go with charcoal for tonight's #DrawingIsFree session. Getting out of my nice comfy pencil zone. Easier to get some of the shading in quickly but harder to do details. Sometimes helpful not to get bogged down in detail for these 3 minute-ers anyway #Hard!

Most excitingly it has suitable shelves for storing my #WrappingPaper! 🥳 It was always a nightmare finding flat surfaces to keep my wrapping paper safe before and they were often stacked on the kitchen table, or in a cupboard folded in half.

This is me in my natural habitat - at my desk in my #studio (spare room). Behind me you can see my shop HQ / warehouse. I'm so glad to have got these shelves in place, which means I can now organise my stock and have it easily accessible when I need to pick and pack orders.
