Japanese Tea pot print

My large Japanese tea pot print at Good Egg shop in Kensington Market
ps.
I also have smaller versions of this print.

New vase pattern

Original pen and ink drawing

Yellow vases

Black + grey with background texture

Purple + orange

Today I took my recent pen + ink drawings of vases and played around with them in Photoshop to create some more pattern samples.
I think they'd be suitable for both wallpaper and fabric.

World's Best Accountant for Creative people = Brian Bowes

I did my taxes last week and was reminded once again that I have the World's Best Accountant: Brian Bowes. Brian specializes in financial assistance for creative types and has a roster of illustrators, screen writers and actors to show for it. He has a deep understanding of the inevitable vicissitudes of an artist's life so is able to provide very helpful advice - always delivered in a calming manner! He also has extreme patience when dealing with typical artist 'foibles" such as forgetting deadlines. I frankly don't know where he gets the patience but am glad he does. :-)
If you're looking for an account or financial advisor... there is no one I would recommend more highly.

Brian, you are the best. xxx
