Welcome
Maybe I’m over-sharing but it seems like Christmas was only a few weeks ago and now my butler informs me that Easter is also in the rear-view mirror.
It is possible to spend a little too much time on one’s own…which is why this latest Limited Edition is such a welcome gift. A chance to delve into the minds and experiences of a selection of our esteemed artists without…err…having to leave the haven of the studio.
I suspect that some of you may welcome this fascinating window into the wizarding-world as much as I do. I have absolutely no proof of this whatsoever but I assert it with the confidence of a chap who gets to write this introduction and thus bask in the reflected glory of our brilliant publishing team’s efforts.

This particular window looks out over: a trip to another hemisphere with Nicci Fairbank, a glance into a workshop full of mouldy people staring at Carol Orwin and a peek behind the curtains into Teresa-Martin-Land. There may well be other things too but far be it from me to spoil the surprise.
Now if those little titbits don’t whet your appetite, then nothing will. And we don’t need the clever-clogs at the back suggesting that a bowl of halloumi chips with a chilli-pesto dressing would also be a great start to the looming repast.
Before I let you crack-on I would just say that you may have a great story or insight that would delight your fellow artists. To this end I urge you to get in touch and see how we could include it next time. Don’t worry if you’re not keen on the writing…we can help your sketch become a full colour picture. Don’t be shy.
Ok, grab a coffee, throw the phone out of the window (unless you’re reading this on it!) and settle down to the ride of your life, well month, well afternoon…stop talking Baker, just tell them it’s bloody good.
It’s bloody good!
