Can you believe it?
250 Posts!
Yeah, I think that is entirely worthy of large red letters.
I've been looking back at all of the posts on this blog lately and I think it's safe to say I've come a long way since that first post back in March of 2010. Let's have a look at some really cool and irrelevant statistics for this blog:
That is why, once my current stack of commissioned work is completed, most of which will be at the end of this month, I am going to change my working system. It is my intention to take on less commissions and to raise my fee to a more competitive rate.
This will enable me to strike for the next level of professional freelance illustration and will mean that I can concentrate on attracting clients looking for colour work which I will be able to provide examples of through the development of my colour portfolio.
Because colour is where the real art is and that's where I want to be and what I want to be doing more than black & white. But I will lay all of this out in a post in the future. This is just a quick heads-up.
Anyway, here's a belated little landscape sketch for yesterday's 30-Day Drawing Challenge. I actually completed it on the day, but didn't get a chance to scan and post it until now:
Back soon for another 250 posts, it is hoped!

- It has existed for 1539 days in its current incarnation
- There is a new post every 6.15 days
- Nearly 82,000 words have been written on it, that's about an average book length.
- I gain a new follower, on average, every 55 days (must do something about that)
- 319 individual pieces of artwork have been shown
