Cake & Cherry
I’m working on a set of greeting cards that I’ll be selling in a shop and I’m having so much fun. I’ve also been experimenting with patterns in Photoshop and I think I’m getting better at it! What do you think about this cake & cherry pattern?

Magic
One of my (many!) hobbies is digital scrapbooking. Digital scrapbooking is is simply creating a scrapbook layout on the computer with papers and elements that are created digitally using graphic design software.

I got published!
It’s finally here, my copy of Somerset Digital Studio! I have a feature article (three pages, six works) ànd I’m on the cover, together with Belgian illustrator My Dead Poney, whom I really admire for his gorgeous illustrations (see more of his work on http://goo.gl/4xIsXi) – that’s a real honour!
