New Year, New Work

It's a new year full of potential and opportunities, and a month that started slowly and unwillingly in a creative sense has certainly kicked off now. Having spent the first couple of weeks of the year trying to get myself back on track and deciding what the new year had planned for me, the second couple of weeks have held visits and presentations in Schools across North Lanarkshire in preparation for this years Creative Residency (check out previous posting here), my work has been picked up by a gallery in Wales called the Milkwood Gallery and should soon be gracing its shelves (no pun intended). I am looking into a series of fairs this year including more local venues (Edinburgh) and maybe even one down in London in the lead up to Easter. Be sure to check back for more information on those nearer the time. Life is starting to pick abit of speed again...which is always a relief!

Also I'm going to point you in the direction of a blog I enjoy following and a bit of a campaign...Johanna Basford is a very talented illustrator and has launched her very own 'Christmas Cup Campaign' to get her designs on a Starbucks cup this Christmas 2011. Check out her lovely work just here.
