2015 has been an interesting year...I landed my first comic job... but I crippled myself with exhaUstion and anxiety.

I displayed my work in a gallery for the first time and met a wonderful community of artists... and suffering from the demands of two careers I decided to take a leap of faith and become a full-time freelancer.

My Family and my brilliant Hannah have been nothing but supportive and things somehow seem to be coming together. I’m not embarreSSed to admit that I am making up this new career as i go along. I think it is important that people know that most people do not know what they are doing at work; I don’t know what I’M DOING (BUT I AM ENJOYING THE RIDE) BUT I DO TAKE GREAT COMFORT IN THE FACT THAT MY LAST JOB WAS FOR A GLOBAL CHARACTER AND CONTENTS COMPANY AND NOBODY THERE KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING EITHER... FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT I GUESS...

Christmas is a mere six weeks away as i write this and it looks like everyone will be getting artwork for Christmas as it is the one thing I have to give this year. AS I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO SHOULD GET WHAT, IT OCCUrrED TO ME THAT I WANTED EVERYONE TO HAVE EVERYTHING, WHICH LED TO THE CREATION OF THIS LIttLE ARTBooK/PDF THAT YOU HOLD IN YOUR GRUBBY LIttLE MIttS.

I’M GOING TO BE DOING A CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN TO See IF i CAN GET SOME PRINT EDITIONS OF THIS MADE SO IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU See HERE, HAVE A RooT DOWN THE SIDE OF THE SOFA FOR SOME LooSE CHANGE AND PLEDGE SOME TO A STARVING ARTIST...KeeP AN EYE OUT FOR THAT.

HOPEFUllY 2016’S ARTBooK IS GOING TO MAJORLY KICK 2015’S ARSE BUT FOR THE TIME BEING THIS BooK IS DEDICATED TO MY MUM, DAD, FAMILY AND MOST OF All HAnnAH, WHOSE PATIENCE AND HUMOUR KeeP ME GOING.

ENJOY!
