    I seem to have sorted out the problem with my website. Tiny things can throw everything else out of place. It all came down to the size of my logo at the top which should have been made to fit 505×95 pixels exactly. It had been fine up until now, but I upgraded something yesterday and that must have altered something else. Ah the joys of running a website.

    Many thanks to Michael Thorn of the children’s book website,achuka.co.uk, for pointing out the problem. I don’t know there’s a problem until someone points it out!

  • I was asked to draw a Stingray by my YouTube fan, Pat TeWeeti, from New Zealand. The Stingray is his Family Guardian. I really like that idea of having something strong and powerful watching over you. Stingrays come in many different colours and shapes, I’ve done an in between sort of shape. You may want to change the shape of the wings a bit to suit the kind of stingray you want to draw.

  • We went to the Forest Bookshop tonight for the launch of The Anatomy of Ghosts, the latest book from my friend, the crime fiction writer, Andrew Taylor.

    It’s been released two weeks early for us as a postscript to the Forest Words Festival that finished at the weekend.

    The picture is of Andrew channeling spectral sunflowers from the artist, Van Gogh.

    I’ve got my copy and will snuggle up with it in bed tonight.
