The Shop of interest is a very new shop that opened in Glasgow, describing itself as a purveyor of arts and interesting things. I can only track them down on the Facebook page and I guess a site will follow.
Counter-objects.co.uk is a showcase for product design from some of the world's best known and most highly-regarded designers as well as emerging young talent. They recently launched this spin off retail site and requested to include my Carrier Pigeon bags.
Vigo cards, based in New York City, have recently added my foiled bird card series to their online stock. They were established in 1993 and specialise in cards and gift wrap.
OK, I know it may have happened during the summer but believe me there's nothing better than a coarse, fresh and lip smacking broad bean bruschetta. It also gives me an opportunity to reminisce, now that the cold snap is setting in.
While I work out what the other 23 animals will be here are the first three of my series of Animalphabet cards once more from another position in my house. The are £3.50 each and that comes with an envelope too! If they were involved with Noah they would come in twos, but that is not the case here, for a pack of four they are £12.00.
Thought I'd post a little of what my younger brother John is all about. He is a very gifted illustrator and draftsperson so anyone out there with a pocket full of lucky breaks perhaps you could dig deep.
I enjoyed being involved in my first mini-print exchange at Snap, Bristol, in the summer so much that I decided to print and add four more to the series.
A selection of work, including my prints, will be exhibited at the Barley Wood Walled Garden Cafe, Wrington, North Somerset. The green light has been given by Bristol Ethicurean and has been curated by Katy Chard who is a printmaker at Snap, Bristol.
I had to add in a detail of my new series of hand printed cards featuring my Animalphabet. It will take my some time to complete but it will feature more obscure images from the animal kingdom such as the Yellow Fin Tuna and Red Panda and Orka.
