Tuesday, May 29th, 2012

Ok so I managed to get another two drafted: The Dragon In The Cricket Club is a Horace the House Dragon story much to my little girls delight. I also got Alien’s Galatic Curcuit written 🙂 This is a tail of a space race around obsticals such as asteroids, and using gravity to sling shot […]

Illustrating The Olympic Book of Poetry

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

I started looking at illustrating the book but am very sad that I basically can not use any of the logos or anything as it would be seen a copywrite infringement. They are being very very militant about things and to be honest I am starting to loose heart in the project. I have hundreds […]

I’ve sort of decided to include hobbies and activities and in writing down the titles realised I had rather alot so I’m thinking the unthinkable – thinking the sort of thought that gets me could a hack. What if I could do say 1000 poems or somewhere near? I worked it out and between now […]
