The 2012 Olympics come to Dorking!

Well, it'll be an interesting day in the office when the Olympics comes to town! I found out today on one of the Surrey Life blogs that the cycling event is rumoured to include an ascent of Box Hill, and will then progress through Dorking town to Shere. It would be great if it's true, I should have a brilliant vantage point! The traffic is going to be a complete snarl up though, I know that for sure..

My Little Trojan Pony goes to LA!

My Little Trojan Pony goes to LA!

I was very excited to receive a package through the post from LA today. A few months ago, I was approached by a graphic artist who was designing an advertising postcard for a production of Mark Shultz' 'Everything Will Be Different: A Brief History of Helen of Troy' by the echo theatre company in LA. He'd seen the My Little Trojan Pony I made on flickr, and wanted to use it in his design. He said he'd have to run it past the producers of the play, but if all was OK, he'd send me a copy of the finished article! Well, it seems the producers liked it, because it the post came 4 postcards, and a lovely note saying the response had been "overwhelmingly positive"! Hooray! I do absolutely love them, I think he's done a brilliant job! I've even got a sculpture credit on the back! =)
