Ooopsie, I've been very quiet over here, because I've been rather busy in other areas!

I'm currently working on the Joe Lisner Dawn set for Breygent. The first lot of approved cards are here:

I've also just added some new listings on eBay:

...and I've updated my Etsy shop too:

I'm in the process of ordering prints for the Comic Con in Manchester, in June and I'm wondering if I could possibly design a sketch book in time for the show too...

I have two new commissions to complete, plus other projects to start.  I've just completed a special front cover painting for the Doctor Who Myth Makers magazine, 50th Anniversary special, which will be revealed hopefully in the next couple of months. The special edition is being edited and prepared for print as I type! All I can reveal is that there *may* be some Doctors on the cover...!

Back in the real world, I complete parenting/house/cat keeping duties daily, juggling gymnastics, trampoline-ing and swimming lessons with piano and violin practice and Brownies - and that's just Rosie! For myself, I try and go Line-dancing one night a week, running one, or two mornings, archery another night, guitar/piano/violin/ukelele practice when I can...and then there's a possible Morris Dance troupe to join, as accompanying fiddler...and that's before I start any artwork!! When I say life is a bit hectic... I mean it! :-)

So please forgive the infrequent posts here. I try and update when I can. If you get tired of waiting and you are not a Facebook-a-phobe...I can be found over there more often than here.

Thanks for looking, and roll on Spring!!

Well, the year has got off to a busy start!
I've just completed a set of cards for Cult-Stuff's War of The Worlds set. All cards have been approved. Here's a selection of my favorites.



The whole set can be viewed over at my Facebook artpage: https://www.facebook.com/SpiritedPortraits

I will be at the Birmingham Memorabilia show - guest artist at the Cult-Stuff stand on March 16th and 17th. I will have these cards with me, so if you'd like to see them up close and personal, before they are distributed into the set, pop down and see us. :-)

I am on the artist list for Breygent's Dawn set and I am about to research monsters for Rob Aragon's set. I have a private commission painting to complete before the end of March, then I'll be working on a Civil War and Sherlock Holmes set, for Cult-Stuff. It's all go!

Here's the complete set of cards I produced last month, for Cult-Stuff's up and coming Burlesque set:

From now until the middle of next week, I'll be working hard on a War of The Worlds set too:


No rest for the wicked! ;o)

What a busy day it has been!
I've agreed to draw some sketch cards for Unstoppable Cards' upcoming Blake's 7 set.
I've completed a mini portrait of the 11th Doctor, using a different technique, to produce a retro look:


...and listed it on eBay:   http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251223310245

I've updated my Etsy shop, with some new listings:   http://www.etsy.com/shop/SpiritedPortraits

Joined Twitter:  @Timedancer8  and completed a load of admin!  Phew.










 I've just completed some cards for Cult-Stuff's Sherlock Holmes set too. My brief was to illustrate the first few stories - no recognisable portraits of actors allowed! I enjoyed reading the stories and illustrating them - all very visual!


Next project - War of The Worlds!

Looong overdue for an update, I think. I've been a bit busy over on FaceBook, so if you'll forgive me... :o)
Here are my cards for the Versicolor Bettie Page set #2, just been given permission to post them.

I have listed this sketch card on eBay. It will only be up for 24 HOURS ONLY. The auction will end tomorrow evening, to coincide with the Children in Need telethon and TV event.

90% of the sale price of this card will go to Children in Need. Please consider putting in a bid, it's for a very worthy cause and you never know, you may win the card!



I have just listed this card on eBay. The auction will end in 7 days from today. Happy Bidding!
