Turn Your Doodles into Designs
My online class on Skillshare.com is now live!
The class will cover how to take your doodles and turn them into an art print, which could then be used for almost anything, such as a t-shirt, sticker, poster etc.
The class is suitable for anyone interesting in taking their drawings, digitising them and turning them into a usable design.

Experience Nottingham
I used to live in Nottingham and the whole city (I think) asked me to recommend a few places there, so I did here.
(note: This entry is by no means an excuse to post this silly image taken by photographer Jo Irvine).
Wrapping
Today I received an email that said:
I operate a mental health program Public Schools .... As a therapist working with adolescents I have used a piece of your wrapping paper that is hanging in my office to talk to students about how they are feeling by asking them which one of your characters they are most like on that day. The mostly gender neutral and wildly expressive faces in your work has been a great source of dialog between me and my clients.
I'm always amazed at how people use my work and characters in different ways. It's nice to know there's a practical use to art sometimes.

You do win friends with salad.
