 Its been ages since I last posted anything here. Sorry about that.

Things here are going about the same. The studio shed is coming along slowly. As I type the electricians are hard at work wiring the place up. Next the plasterer needs to come back and finish the outside in order that the inside can be leak free so the dry lining (insulated drywall) can go up. Trying to get the plasterer to show up is like getting someone with Dentophobia to have a tooth pulled. He can only work one day a week (he's is taking a course in Galway) and I was ready to replace him when he said he'd be there and then his cousin was killed in a car crash. I would have a hard time firing someone when they get back from a funeral.

I'm painting still. I find it easy to be busy and not get any painting done so I have to crack the whip on myself.

I don't know how well the book is doing. It is selling so thats good. I did get a offer to be interviewed on RTE1 radio about the book. The programme is on the national radio station RTE1 and deals with the handicapped and their issues. The host was the host of a TV programme dealing with the same thing. I had contacted her to say I liked her TV programme and she later came back wanting to interview me on the radio. Am I nervous?....yes.

The Irish Guild of Illustrators, which I am a member, has a halloween illustration 'show'. Its online and the brief was a quick illustration (under 2 hours) with the theme of halloween. Here's my entry. I tried to turn the tables and have the scary monster scared of the little kid...

A bit early...but Happy Halloween! (This year I am making pumpkin pie...from scratch!)

That's good that the work is progressing on the studio.
So, you've decided to do the interview? Good!!

Hey, Love the picture! Congrats on the phone interview offer. I'm sure it will go great. Incidentally, Jess is always doing interviews on the radio - she always seems to enjoy it. I've done one such...I was nervous as anything, but it all came out ok.

(I just saved that pic....do you mind if I put it on my office door?)

Great picture! Let me know how the pumpkin pie from scratch project goes. In the past, mine were down right stringy and not too great.

Is the fear of a dentist now officially cloaked in the term dentophobia? Works for me and that is what I am.
