Valentine's Day.  Ah, the one day when men and women feel obliged to make an effort to buy big cards, balloons and stuff to ensure they don't get on the wrong side of their partners.  We don't really need a specific day to make an effort to show how much we love someone.  Try it some other day and see the effect it has.  Go on, it's fun!!

In case you thought that Obama's election doesn't affect people outside the US, let me assure you - it does.  I'd like the UK's "special relationship" with the US to get back on a better footing.  I live in hope!!

The Christmas card is finished and is addressed to everyone.  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I've been working on these characters for a little while now and I thought it was time I let them loose into the wild, so to speak.  They're all pandas who've ganged together for self-preservation - spurred on by conservationists who think they're a waste of time and money, and would like to see them die out.  They're a shy bunch but they'd be happy to help any other species who find themselves threatened by extinction.  To them, all life is "boo" ( beautiful ) and they love the other 'boo ( bamboo ) - so they love the 'Boo Life!!!  If you're lucky enough to see them, hang with them for a while - they're friendly to most panda-lovin' people.
