art and design
So excited to be painting a Gromit sculpture for this year's Gromit Unleashed 2 sculpture trail in my home city of Bristol, UK! The design is top-secret for now, but watch this space for more info :) No doubt the trail will be as successful and exciting as previous trails and should have lots of people flocking to Bristol to see the sculptures. Here comes summer!
Well, all I can say is what an amazing, nail biting finish to what has been such an exciting few months.
Last night's Shaun in the City auction raised over one million pounds for charity. Every single one of the Shauns sold and King of the Carnival was bought by an online bidder for £4,600!
Sad to see him go, but so glad he was snapped up :)
Here are a few photos from the auction ....
It doesn't seem that long ago that I sent in my proposed designs to Shaun in the City and now the auction is just around the corner! Here is an extract from the auction catalogue - I really hope he sells and makes lots of money for the Grand Appeal Children's Charity.

Really excited to announce that the King of the Carnival has been made into a fab figurine! You can buy him at the Wallace and Gromit charity shop at The Mall, Cribbs Causeway or online here
All proceeds go to the Grand Appeal children's charity.
Shaun in the City have featured me on their Meet the Artist website slot.

Here's a photo of Shaun, taken from the Bristol trail which finished on 31 August.
He will be auctioned off for charity at the end of October. For more info please follow this link to the Shaun in the City website.
King of the Carnival took seven whole days to paint - mainly due to the numerous coats of paint that were needed to give him top coverage! To see how it was done and for more photos ... click here
I am so proud to finally reveal my Shaun sculpture 'King of the Carnival' who will be grazing in Queen Square, Bristol between 6 July - 31 August this year. Please pop down and say hi to him if you are in the area as he will be happily posing for photos! Here's a link to my Facebook page if you'd like to post your images - photo gallery.
For everything you need to know about the trail please go to the official Shaun in the City website: http://www.shauninthecity.org.uk
Keep an eye on my blog over the next few days as I'll be posting some photos of Shaun in his various stages of preparation.

Just found out that my Shaun the Sheep will be grazing in Bristol's beautiful Queen Square this summer! What a fantastic location - especially as there will be loads going on there over the next couple of months. Just over 3 weeks to go now until Shaun in the City - can't wait :)
Great news ... my Shaun the Sheep is going to be in the Bristol art trail! Really glad that he's going to be in my home town as it will be so much easier for family and friends to visit him. As the trail doesn't start until 6 July I am going to have to keep my design under wraps for quite a bit longer though.
