Work in progress

For quite some time I've been feeling the need for somewhere that I can share more about what is involved in the making of my art - thought processes, influences, planning and of course the technical stuff. I need something less formal than my website, with plenty of room to explain things (I adore Twitter but it's hard to demonstrate a printmaking technique in 140 characters) and somewhere that posts will actually be seen by those who have shown an interest and not hidden until I agree to pay to 'boost' them (yes I'm looking at you Facebook).  I think I might have just described a blog…

So here I am at last. I had found many excuses to put off this day - not least, and perhaps most ridiculously, the fact that I need a new logo and I thought I couldn't launch my blog until I'd got that ready. Daft huh?  In fact, why don't I actually blog about creating a new logo? *makes a note on 'posts to be written' list*

What you see here is the bare bones of what I hope will grow into something you will find interesting and perhaps even entertaining. (Unless of course you are reading this as an archived post months in the future, in which case hey look, this is how it all started – it’s got better hasn’t it?).  Look out for work development, demonstrations (another item on my ‘challenges to be conquered’ list is making a video), suggestions for other blogs and artists you might enjoy, exhibitions, arty news, things to see, places I’ve been, maybe the odd cake.

Bear with.....
