I have agreed to do 6 monthly illustrations for Waitrose food magazine to go with Sophie Dahl's Column. She is a wonderful natural writer who seems to with great ease conjure up wonderful moods of smell and sensation in words. It is quite a challenge to try and keep up with her in image form. I hope I somehow manage to do her writing justice.

This blog is pretty much 'all about ME!', but sometimes something comes along so brilliant that it distracts even someone as totally self obsessed as I am. My lady Lorna has taken a step sideways from creating beautiful denim bears to making the most fantastic corduroy daschunds. Here is my new pal Percy, he sits on my chair in the studio looking after it for me all day ! check out more of his kind at....
