To think that people are willing to spend their hard-earned money on something I create is a thrilling thought. Perhaps now I finally understand what “I’m honoured” means. Martha Paxton (in the TV show Frasier) says: “I like to know how people live with my art.” It may be just a line in a funny sit-com but it is a sentiment shared by many artists. After all, art, especially traditional forms of art, is such a private thing.

It was nearly midnight when it went live otherwise we could have celebrated. Well, I did celebrate, by having a sleepless night.

It has a harshness to it that’s hard to explain. I hope I can credit it to the fact that I’ve been working almost exclusively in the telescope industry, where the predominant audience is male. Somehow, I like how it balances the femininity of fashion (not that my fashion illustration has ever been truly feminine.)

In fact, I’d rather my paintings to be seen as illustrations with a fashion flare. It is more important for me to present a good piece of art than a nice fashion invention.

Sometimes obsessiveness has a beauty to it.

Once it is exposed to the public eye there is no fooling myself.
