Alex Hughes and, er, Alex Hughes
Back again, bit of a break this time. I've been contacted by Alex Hughes (no relation), and thought you might like his site: This is Alex Hughes.
On another note, my potential lodger from last week has bailed on me, so I'm still looking. There's a guy coming to see it this evening, so fingers crossed.

Caricatures 'n' stuff...
Back again - almost a week running now. Stumbled upon the website for Jonathon Cusick today. He's one of the caricaturists that contributed to my book 'Learn to Draw Caricatures', but is probably better known now as the guy who did the caricatures for the Cadbury's Chocolate adverts in the ad breaks for 'Coronation Street'. Anyway, he's horribly talented, and his site is http://www.jonathancusick.com.
Ran out of ink the other week - might not sound like much, but it's something of a pain in the arse. I don't use a particularly unusual ink - Rowney Kandahar Black Indian Ink, but couldn't seem to find someone who stocks it. The local art shops didn't have any and wouldn't order in any until the end of the month, my usual art supply websites didn't seem to stock it(I use the 1 litre bottle - the last one lasted a three or four years), but eventually hit on a site that supplies it - http://www.tattoo-supplies.co.uk. Yup, that's right, a tattoo supplier. I didn't even realise that tattooists used indian ink (not quite sure what I thought they did use mind you), but I'm grateful to them. I do know it's a bugger to wash off your hands, so maybe it's more permanent than I initially thought. Don't know what it is, but whenever I find a combination of materials that works for me, they stop making it. So far, I've had to spend time to track down paper, ink, nibs and C3 board-backed envelopes (don't get me started).
On another note, it looks like I've got a lodger for my spare room through EasyRoomMate.com, which has taken a bit of a weight off my mind. Just got to get references and whatnot sorted out, and hopefully he'll be in by the beginning of November. More details as they come...

The new website is here!
They said it would never happen, but now, after five years of piddling about I've finally got the new version of my website up and running.
And what's more, I should be able to alter and update it more frequently, and should be adding more artwork in the near future.
Anyway, in the meantime, please feel free to have a browse around, and if you've got time, please take a few minutes to let me know your thoughts in my Guestbook...
