I originally set this site up as a learning tool. I work part time for an arts therapy charity and a lot of our members expressed an interest in finding new ways of selling their art. Online seemed like a good place to start and would give them a platform with which to market themselves as artists.

So why not market myself too? Market is perhaps not the right word. It reeks of zeitgeistness (not even a word). Prostitute is too harsh a word. Put myself out there sounds like middle class divorcee’s foray back into dating. Its more that I have a project in mind and to have a sort of creative record of it might be nice. Is nice the right word? Let’s not start that again.

I have a new home. Or to put it more aptly, a new canvas. This new pad has been named Maison Du Biscuit because the name made me smile and I like biscuits. And then my friends Matt and Emma bought me a custard cream cushion and that pretty much cemented the idea.

It’s a two bedroom end of terrace with a large garden. It was a two bedroom nicotine hut with a jungle. So I call that progress…
