It's why I do it.

Like most 'freelancers' I have a day job too. It's a job that pays the bills when the creative work doesn't, and even though it pains me to say it, it's pretty necessary.

I was at my day job on Friday afternoon, when a little email dropped onto the ol' Blackberry with a title of 'Image request'. What could this be I wondered?
Turns out it was a flattering email from London-based blogger and interior decoration obsessive, Carrie Graham-Clarke, who had stumbled upon my humble website and thought it just spiffy enough to blog about.

Carrie has an immensely awesome blog that she updates frequently, and which features a treasure trove of creative-ness, ranging from interior design, illustration, art, food and lego kitchens, and now, my illustrative work too.

You can see Carrie's blog here... http://www.carrieclarke.co.uk/wp/

You can see her flattering little feature on myself here... http://www.carrieclarke.co.uk/wp/ollie-stone/

Thanks again for the feature Carrie.

It's always nice to receive an email like that (rather than one for 'cheap viagra'). Because after all, I just want to create images that make people smile, and that's why I draw silly pictures.
