“I have recently bought a new computer as previously I have been working on an old 12 inch laptop, Photoshop is now a joy to use! Usually my desk is far more cluttered with coloured pencils. When I’m working, usually to tight deadlines, I have very little time to tidy and end up with a desk piled with pencils and a sketchbook somewhere buried in the middle. On the wall I have a framed drawing and a dog calendar. The calendar is from my parent’s local car garage. They got it free when they had their car MOT’d.

Kate’s little white Apple laptop lasted circa twelve years. A new laptop is always a blessing. Note: David’s garden view is perfect. Now let’s talk football. Kate’s mate, Nico, once played for Queens Park Rangers and much against the English credo is a huge Diego Maradona fan.
FROM YOUR DESKS: Who is your favorite team?
DAVID SPARSHOTT: Fulham, big local rivals of QPR!
V I C T O R Y is sweet. So, Kate (in cahoots with her English sister-in-law Donna) recently (and with great ease) whipped out David’s fantastic Umbro illustration, a take on the “Hand of God” incident and mentioned his love for Fulham. A fun day in the flat. Ah, if only there was just one copy left.
