Update

Those who've been regularly checking in will be appalled by my shocking lack of updates. Well as you can see below I've been stupidly busy and had no time for these things. Well I've now got round to doing some back-dated news items so here they are. I've also been working hard re-touching and putting together a brand new portfolio. This doesnt even tell half the story and I'm currently juggling about a dozen projects and planning some amazing stuff for the folllowing months so as always EYES PEELED!

Macmillan Art Auction

Last night I attended The Macmillan Cancer Art Auction- the second one I've been involved in. The auction was hosted by Fearne Cotton and featured some of the top names in the art world. 3 hand-prints from my "Pitbull Ballet" series (see here) went for over £1000 which all went to the charity. Had a great night dodging the paps with all the fabulous people... More importantly we raised over £80,000 for the charity!! Sorry for the crappy phone pics...
