I thought I’d have a go at a Vlog type video, me waffling on about whatever comes into my head. I don’t make an appearance… only comfortable with the voice🫣Just consider it radio with a few pictures attached. I do have a feeling that I’m probably chatting away to myself here, but even if just one person finds it at all vaguely interesting, then that would make me feel very happy. It’s a tentative start.
In time I hope to find a rhythm making these vlogs. I am a very shy, introverted bod and find this a little scary, but I’d like to push myself into being more confident and comfortable with being authentic in the world and not caring too much about making a fool of myself. I’m keen to learn what interests folk and discover what I can offer. I’m not the most experienced illustrator out there, but at 58, I have spent a considerable amount of time struggling with my art and with attempting to get to grips creating artwork on my pc and hope I can offer up a little knowledge and share the things that I’ve discovered through trial and error with others who are interested. Thank you, for reading to the end! x

I've been having fun with my new YouTube channel. Early days, but I'm adding content and learning all the time. Here are a few little films:
I would love it if you would subscribe to my YouTube channel, comment and 'like' if you want to see more content. Maybe suggest a video if you know what you'd like to see me make a film about.
I love mucking about with my video editing program, and whilst making this little film, 'Computer versus Conventional Illustration', I actually started to get to grips with editing features that I knew nothing about. I shall endeavor to improve subsequent films, but I am still learning and so hope you'll be indulgent and forgive my bodging. The sound quality is a little weird as I live next to a river that is particularily fulsome and noisy at the moment. I had to fiddle with the recording to cut out the background hiss. I couldn't do that on the summing up at the end, as I was speaking to camera and when I tampered with the audio I couldn't lip sync it up to the visual when I put it back. So you'll hear the roaring rotter in the background! :oD In 2014 I started to work wholly on the computer, after almost 10 years of producing work for publishers on paper. This little film explores why working on the computer has made life as an illustrator so much easier and less stressful. |
ShopWorking as an artist and writer can be extremely challenging financially. If you like my work you can show support and help me to keep on creating children's books by buying my art. For signed originals or prints, cards... all kinds of merchandise. Check out my shop :o)
