i can't say enough how grateful and lucky i am for being part of such ace artist's community. nowadays, not a single week goes by that i don't receive something beautiful from one of you in the post . thank you so much!
1. Simone Lia, my former tutor back in uni days and one of the illustrators i respect and admire the most sent me an amazing gift with all those beauties you can see in the photos. * sigh... her book Fluffy is just perfect! she has a blog too :)
2. the lovely Julia Pott sent me a gorgeous original drawing (second time round) and postcard with this brilliant tote bag i purchased from her shop.
3. the ever so talented Lisa Congdon also mailed me gifts from across the pond. a package full of wonderful prints, badges, cards... ahhh her work never ceases to inspire me on a daily basis.
i'm not sure i've ever mentioned it here but Lisa's work and bio were my striking lightning of inspiration when, a few years ago, i made the decision to go back to university to do my design degree.

thanks again guys, i love everything. you are all A M A Z I N G

:: a quick update :: i have a print up for auction here along with an array of other talented artists and illustrators from around the world to help Japan. please bid, if you can + and have a fab weekend!
