Well first of all massive apologies! I have some exciting news coming up soon and to go along with that I needed to have a proper working website… I’m not tech savvy and the plug ins etc WP offer confused me, so I built something on a platform I was slightly more familiar with… Then

A car… and a plane!

Another commission with a lovely story! One of the things I love doing the drawings, is hearing peoples stories. As a petrolhead myself I can relate totally to the emotions people feel towards their cars. Whether its because the car was left from a deceased close relative, it is the reason they met someone very
