Blood everywhere and not a bit worth saving! That’s the motto of today. Photoshop is all well and dandy, but up until five minutes ago it has refused to let me make a neat little splattering of blood on my print artwork, no matter how many times I try it. Snowflakes, yes. Abstract leaves, yes. Marble angles, yes. Blood? No, no, no…but I have finally beaten Adobe’s fine multimedia application into submission, oh yes

Just as well really as the artwork is currently being sucked up by the Magic Printing Fairies, ready to be regurgitated in a week or so’s time as our merchandise stand for the Swadlincote Ghost Festival. I can’t wait! I think it’s going to be a ball, plus the wonderful goddess Zoe is on stall duty too, offering Indian head massages and reflexology in her guise as HunkyDory Holistics

Other news…I have just completed a music review for rock three piece, Uniting the Elements. Check it out under Music Reviews. I am also delighted to be on chapter 8 of Rob MacKellar’s debut novel, the Black Flame (www.robmackellar.com), a must-read for all fans of high fantasy. Rob is a clean, concise writer with a delicious ability to spill fresh blood with each turn of the page…and so back to blood.
