New postcard range

These are just some of the 26 designs for my new postcard range which is under development and should be out very soon.  The range features images taken from the succesful range of greeting cards that are currently available.  Depending on reaction (and sales!!) I do hope to produce some original artwork exclusively for postcards in the coming months.

Panelled door

The full door and one detail shot.

Evening News article

My photography was featured in Edinburgh's main newspaper today.  The paper edition of the Edinburgh evening News was actually a double page spread with 8 images which you can see on this post.  Thanks to the team at the paper for their coverage which promoted my current exhibition and were so very complimentary about my imagery..........
