Back to Blogging?

I've been busy, but thought it was about time I attended to the long neglected blog. I'm hoping that I'll be getting more stuff on here in the following months, in spite of  continuing busyness. Recently again my artwork has been in the Bingley Gallery and have been selling work at The Handmade Alternative who moved from Market Street and are now in Godwin Street, Bradford.

Hand Made in Bradford - A new shop in Bradford

24th March was the opening of the Bradford City Park with it's Mirror Pool. Also opening was Hand Made in Bradford at 1 Tyrrel Street, a shop selling arts and crafts with an exhibition space and a Picnic Parlour - a chill out space!

Yesterday I started working at 'Hand Made' and the first sale was one of my etchings. What a great start to the day! Hopefully I'll be working there every Thursday from now on. Here is what I sold:

Masks to chase away the Imps of Sickness - from a Babylonian myth

Different from the funny stuff!

The Butterfly Rooms, Saltaire and the Bingley Gallery have sold some more of the Bradford Before the Hole prints - see below and around! Click the names to get to their sites.

Chickens, chickens, chickens!

This is a picture I sold at the Under-the-Bed Sale, it's from a story I wrote about a chicken who finds a sock. The Sale is now over and and Ben Snowden's new show has just started, for more info about this click the Bingley Gallery.
