Happy Holidays

Well, that’s another year (almost) gone! 2011 has been quite an eventful year and in some ways I’m not sorry to see it go – but that’s another story!

Anyway, I’m looking forward to 2012 as I have some exciting things planned, and I hope you’re looking forward to the new year too. This is my last post of the year, but I’ll be back after the holidays with more blog posts, some portfolio updates, and some lovely projects to get started on.

I’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and look forward to seeing you in 2012.

I've got a new website!

New website!

Yes, after dithering, procrastination, mind-changing, lots of hard work and many a late night, my new website is finally here! Read more…

New website coming soon!


As announced earlier in the year I’ve been working on a new version of this site, and I’m thrilled to finally announce that it’s launching very soon! Sign up to my newsletter or become a fan on Facebook for more updates and to be notified of the launch and a fantastic special offer.

Summer Holiday!

The sun is shining, even in Aberdeen, and it’s time for a summer holiday.

In my case, though, it’s not two weeks relaxing on the beach, but several weeks of decorating and DIY.

Having moved home at the end of June, I’m taking time out over the summer to get my new flat in order. There are boxes still to be unpacked, rooms to paint, and pictures to hang to get my flat looking homely. So in order to concentrate on that and avoid the lure of Photoshop and Illustrator, my computer will be one of the last things to be unpacked.

Obviously, I won’t be taking on any freelance work during this time, but if you’d like to talk about projects for the autumn, get in touch. Please be patient as it may take me a few days to respond to emails. If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, updates will also be less frequent than usual.

In the meantime, why not check out my latest work, word-play.org.uk.

Hope you have a great summer.

WordPlay logo design

It’s been a while since I posted any new work, so I thought I would share a preview of a project I’m working on just now.

This is a logo for a freelance copywriter, and I’m also doing stationery designs and working on a WordPress based website.

The website is at www.word-play.org.uk, and the launch is planned for May.

Stay tuned for updates!

Back in October, I posted a couple of sketches for Alex’s Christmas present, a series of paintings of jungle animals.

After a mad rush pre-Christmas to get them finished, here are the final paintings, which are now hanging in his bedroom. They are acrylic paint on box canvases, measuring about 10″ square. As he’s only 2 years old, I didn’t get much feedback from him, but his parents are certainly pleased with them!
