I'm in countdown mode, I'm so excited that my short film More Cake, will be showing on 4th Oct @ 13:15. For those who might have a free afternoon, you can read about it and book your tickets here. Hope to see you there. Here are some pictures from the opening gala.

Which is probably a blessing in disguise considering the theatre only has 88 seats. Which brings me to the point of this post, anyone who would like to see what I've been yammering on about for the past 6 months will have [...]
A very long time ago, I took up painting as a hobby, I can't make a stick figure look good, but I was convinced I'd make a great artist. Below are my attempts at painting some comic book heroines.
