Posted 6 months ago

I’ve been offered a free stall (yes free!) at Lincoln Christmas Market – it’s in the Indoor Market, hence being free, and am using this as an opportunity to sell limited edition comics, prints, cards, gift ideas etc.

I’m holding a stall at the Engine Shed, Lincoln, in May, for fans of my work:

Lincoln Artist's Markets 2010

Posted almost 2 years ago

Lincoln Artist’s Network are running Lincoln Artist’s Markets 2010, along The Strait, Lincoln, which is the area between The Jews’ House and The Collection, on the last Sunday of every month. Sunday 30th May was not very successful – the weather was atrocious and didn’t sell a thing!
Hence, I still have a range of new prints available to buy at the next markets coming…

Lent

Last year I decided to give up Chastity for Lent. Of course I failed – God is not without a sense of humour.

This year I am giving up poverty. So if you like my work, then buy it!!
