My work in print, in Tudur Owen's biography!

I am stoked!  Following my shoot with Tudur Owen for his comedy agency Laughter Lines (see the post) I received a call from his publishers asking if they could use one of the photographs for his autobiography.  Of course I jumped at the chance, with the help and guidance from the lovely Ian Fox re pricing.

The book is available in all good bookshops in Wales, and on Amazon, where I bought my very own copy!  Tudur's native language is Welsh and as such the book is published in Welsh, but I'm sure it is a ruddy good read, I'll get my cousin to help me with the translation!

Congratulations on the release Tudur and again thank you so much for using my photograph!

Su Blackwell - Books telling stories

Born in Sheffield, a grduate of the RCA, Su Blackwell is based in her London studios where she creates fabulous things, mainly out of paper.

Here are some examples of her book scultures, where elements of the page are cut out and brought to life. Also shown are some of the installations that were feature in the exhibition at the Bronte Parsonage Museum in Haworth last year.

Not only are these pieces a thing of wonder from a practical perpective, they are so delicate and fragile, they bring the story to life, characters and scenes literally jump of the page. They also evoke the imagination of our inner child. As a child I spent many an hour sat in the top branches of a willow tree, or in 'fairy' dens in the bushes where I would create whole series of fairytales. These works by Su transport me right back to those times.
