17th May 2013   It may be a distant memory as the sun is blazing down on Edinburgh this afternoon but last Christmas I produced packs of six Christmas cards from my sketches, in aid of the Sick Kids Friends Foundation, the charity for Edinburgh’s Royal Hospital for Sick Children.

WhereArtI Update: 26th April 2013
A huge thank you to David Geddes, winner of last weeks WhereArtI and the family ticket for an Edinburgh Bus Tour.

As David lives in the Wester Ross area of the Highlands he asked me to give the pass to a good cause, and we opted for the Sick Kids hospital here in Edinburgh.

There are many families, some far from home, with children in the hospital long term, who themselves can only leave the ward for a few hours at a time before they need medication.

The tour pass will give such a family the chance to escape the ward for a well needed distraction and a little normality.

Thanks again for your generosity, David.

4th April  The WhereArtI quiz is back with a bang this Monday, 8th April at 8am. Be the first to give me the correct location of my sketch and you will win a family ticket for a bus tour around Edinburgh, thanks to our friends at Lothian Buses.

14th January  A week today my sketches will be hanging in Foodies at Holyrood cafe on Holyrood road, near the Scottish Parliament. Recently they have been selling my charity Christmas cards in aid of Edinburgh’s Sick Kids hospital and for the next two months they have kindly agreed to let me hang my work in their cafe. I will have a mixture of prints and original sketches for sale so do pop in and have a look, they serve delicious baking, soups and sandwiches along with great coffee.

For directions and more information about the café’s facilities and menu see their website HERE.
