I have just made two of the illustrations from my children’s picture book, The Christmas Bear available as fine art prints from my Christmas Store. Santa Claus is showing Little Polar Bear around his Christmas Workshops  and storerooms at the North Pole.

These two illustrations are from The Christmas Bear by +Paul Stickland.

The art has thousands of minute details of all the wonderful toys that Little Bear discovers as Santa shows him around his Christmas Workshops. Many of these toys are my childhood favourites.  

The print is very high resolution so that you can really see all the details.

Now available as truly huge Christmas Bear fine art prints to treasure for ever from  Paul Stickland’s Christmas Store.

I like Google plus. The clean interface, the way photos and albums are displayed.

I love the fact that everything is but a few keystrokes away, in any browser on any computer.

My big tip is to use Chrome. I have it set up so that, when it opens, my profile and pages are set up to open in prefs, on separate tabs and importantly in their own identities.

This makes it really easy to maintain and if I get confused about my identity, which is pretty easy, I just quit and restart Chrome.

Here is a set of links to my profile and all of my pages, do come and say Hi!

Whilst the sun was shining outside, I was at my drawing board thinking dark thoughts for this poster. This is for Helen’s nephew, Louis Sebastian Mander, who has written two new operas, The Mariner and The Clown of God. These are to be performed in November this year and this artwork will be used for both poster and program. Great fun to do, hopefully we will be heading off to London to see them.

Been having fun drawing Trolls this morning! I’m helping a couple of students, Hannah Braaten and Laura Abbott, who are studying publishing at Columbus University, New York, to prepare a brief for a hypothetical children’s book about Trolls, Ten Yucky Mucky Trolls! Who knows it might become a real book!
