A friend of mine from drama school, after witnessing another friend get one acting job after another without apparent joy, said, “I hope, however successful I might become, that I never get blasé about getting work.” I agreed wholeheartedly.
I also hope I never get blasé about selling my art. Today I sold two of these postcards to a French customer and, as ever, my heart gave a little hop and a skip when I saw the notification.
Take care and keep laughing!

There’s nothing I like better than blending this, that and the other to create an aesthetic whole. For my latest collage, my starting point was a vintage swallow over the sea with a sprig of flowers in its beak from The Graphics Fairy [above].
I added several of my own backgrounds, including one of my congratulation designs and the reverse of a vintage postcard.
