Selby College Mural
I’ve always wanted to do a graffiti inspired mural, it’s been deep in the back of my mind for years. A graffiti artists called Swoon in America really inspired me – how she uses paper cut outs as her medium and puts these directly onto distressed backgrounds. The degrading of the paper adds to this ...
Fantastic Day – fantastic horse!
While at the races I also came across a fantastic sculpture. Jennifer from Lemon Zest has yet again excelled in creating a horse made from Yorkshire produce. Even on the third day of the races, having had lots of rain and sunshine the horse was still fairing well! “To underscore the use of local produce ...
Fantastic Day – fantastic hat!
I haven’t updated the blog for a while and it’s the same old excuse we all have, …no time! Well we all know the lists gets longer and the time gets shorter but that is down to time management, prioritising and a realisation that the list may not get done in 1 day or indeed ...
every cloud…
Every cloud has a sliver lining and today it did! Sat in the garden taking 10 minutes out of a busy day I was overjoyed to see the sun shining only to be overwhelmed with a large black cloud. Rain threatened but then the sun shone out from behind and all was saved! Promise this ...
Brilliant Exhibition @ Selby College
Well, I have to say it has been a roller coaster week in the art department. We started on Monday morning with 60 blank boards that needed painting both sides, paint to buy, a studio that needed clearing and a stressed tutor (me) and that was just the start! The students worked as a team, ...

Holmes Dog Walking
It is brilliant to hear from clients and how I have helped them to make a success of their business. Cara from Holmes Dog Walking Services has just been blogging about her client, beautiful walks, the British weather and making liver cake for her clients (pooches). I am just so impressed as her enthusiasm and ...
Visual Creative Arts Exhibition
As you may know I as well as being a graphic designer – I also teach at Selby College and every year the second year students have a final exhibition to show off their fabulous work. Normally, we get the students to design the poster as a competition but time was indeed pressing and so ...
Banksy in London
Love it. Just recently went to London and was shown a Banksy – a real one. The story goes that the Council didn’t quite know what to do with this “artwork” as it is deemed graffiti, writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place, but the ...
