Creative Chats with Digital Fabrics
I was recently interviewed by the lovely Katy from Digital Fabrics. We chatted about my daily work life, what I love as well as the challenges of working in the creative industry. We also touched on my dream projects and my current collaborations.
Portrait Drawing: Abby

Pet Portrait: Lewis
Friends in my street adopted Lewis from the RSPCA when he was about 4 years old. No-one knew his past history but he’d had a bad time as he was aggressive towards strange men. The young couple (his new family) both worked long hours and he was left at home. He suffered from separation anxiety so tried to escape their yard most days. Often I would see him “setting out” on an adventure along the street and I’d go after him. He loved this and turned it into a game I’m sure.
