I have been very busy over the last month working on images to submit for a new chocolate shop that has opened in the town of Wrexham, who have had the idea of using some extra wall space in the shop as a chance for artists to exhibit their work. I was very happy to be given the first opportunity to display my work, so fingers crossed people like it too! If anyone wants to view it first hand (and pick up some of the lovely chocolates on sale there too, yum yum!!) it is on at the Really Nice Chocolate shop www.reallynicechocolate.co.uk until january time. Prints of the images can also be purchased there too as poster size or postcards.

Xmas Card Ideas

These are some images I came up with for xmas card ideas. They still need some tweaking but I think some will end up as a set, and the Penguin Bee card will be transfered into a xmas book as well as an interactive online book using Flash.
