The roses in the garden are starting to look slightly bedraggled as they near the end of their season, it being autumn here in the southern hemisphere. The clocks went back this past weekend so I guess it won't be long till we get a frost. I don't mind autumn, the...
We're having major sand-dune renovations! Our coastline isn't as built up as the more trendy next door Provençal beaches, we're cut off from their beaches by the Camargue wetlands. The main difference being that 'Nice' has no sand, only pebbles and Cannes has to...
Its always nice to wake up and find another one of your babies gracing a published book cover! Here's today's, an American thriller, heavily textured with our flypaper painterly textures. Its just a preview copy as its not yet out, so I expect their colours will...

Welcome to the first Flypaper Spring texture recipe! We're really pleased to be able to use the freshly named textures, as before naming we used various numbers and joked that they only really come to life once they are named! During the extraordinary high spring...
A few days ago I took delivery of a Lensbaby composer lens, it's something I have had my eyes on for ages but spurred on by Paul's photos taken using his, I decided to take the plunge. I've loved it so far and it's hardly been off the camera though I'm still coming to...
