stormy weather

What started as a dull, dreich day has turned into thunder storm - torrential rain, thunder and lightning. Me and Jackson have spent 20 minutes with our faces pressed to the kitchen window watching the rain bounce off the trees and turn the patio into a river. Jack's first thunder storm (that he can remember anyway) and he thought it was great fun!
After a hectic week I've finished all the commissions due at the same time! Two illustrations for the summer issue of Juno, and a pet portrait of Jessie the Jack Russell. Now I have time on my hands to seek out some new commissions - still searching for the next elusive book commission...

Hey, it makes me mad....

..when you think you have comments and its some crappy spam thing. Does anyone else have this problem? I have been neglecting this blog of late but that's the reason why - I quess it's kind of demoralising when you go to the effort and all you get back is crappy spam. Hmmm, maybe no-one else has even seen my blog!
Plus, I can't search the blogs anymore (ie for illustration) only a SPECIFIC blog - so I just have to use the 'next blog' button which could take me a million years to find anything interesting to me! If anyone can shed some light, I'd be most grateful, ta!
Meanwhile, here's a pic of me at my day job (as I'm at work now with no access to my illustrations!). I'm in the middle!
