Welcome to the new site!

So here we go then. It’s taken sooo long, but I really wanted to get it right. Welcome to the new site. I hope you like it.

There’s a fair bit to explore here, so I won’t hold you up on this post for long. But I’ll soon be back to blogging regularly, so come here for news first (well, here or my Twitter feed, of course).

I’d like to give massive thanks to Oli Jones, who custom built this WordPress site for me. I think he just about survived my continuous barrage of requests for adjustments and improvements! The site is so much easier for me to keep up to date now, and hopefully you’ll agree that it’s an improvement in terms of design and functionality too.

As you can imagine, most of my efforts have been on getting the new site up and running, but I have finished a brand new piece for launch. As a huge fan of Jackie Chan, I thought it would be fun to create a new/old movie poster for one of his very best movies, Police Story. I have more of these planned, continuing in the vein of the piece I did inspired by Hot Fuzz a couple of years back. The only problem is that I love too many movies!



Police Story Poster

Forgive the shameless plug (although if you can’t plug shamelessly on your own blog, then where can you?), but if you are interested in prints of my work, then you can find them at Imagekind and Society6. Imagekind gives you loads of options, and lets you choose the size, paper quality, and you can also get pieces framed. I’ve recently joined Society 6, but they have a great system too, and this is going to be quickest if you’re just after a print and aren’t so concerned about having a custom size.

There’ll be more on the way soon, but in the meantime, I’d really appreciate any coverage of the site launch, whether you can tweet it, blog it, facebook it, or anything else in between. Thanks very much for your support.
