To all of my new watchers, my old watchers, and everyone who visited my page yesterday (and today!) and left wonderful comments or favourited my pieces...

I just wanted to say how thrilled and astonished I was when I logged in yesterday to see that this little guy had been awarded a DD! [link]

His name is Franz and he's an original ink illustration I made just the other week. I can't tell you how chuffed I felt when I saw the DD or how much I have totally enjoyed reading your comments. Your kind (and insightful) words have really made my week. Somebody who left a comment underneath Franz yesterday has given me a wonderful idea for two paintings (and at least one illustration, if not more!) for my upcoming show later this month. I'll let you know who it is in due course, as I want to thank this person very much for inspiring me.

Due to the enormous amount of comments, watches, and faves I received yesterday, there is no way I could thank everyone individually - it just wouldn't be possible, unless I had a year free to do it! - so I hope you will accept this THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I promise to read every comment, and will reply to a few here and there, when I can.

I am overwhelmed and very grateful.
