Sleeping Cat

http://www.piersharper.com/blog.html

I'm tired (hence the picture) because I'm working on greetings cards and a cutaway of the Great Pyramid. The latter is proving to be a real headache as I've quickly discovered that there doesn't seem to be an accurate plan (or detailed list of measurements) to work from. I have a pile of books on this subject and the only thing I can rely on is for them to contradict one another. Cards are so much easier - at the moment I'm drawing birds in a tree. Bliss in comparison.

I've added an animations page today. I have little time to do them (which is why they're quite simple) but I really enjoy making them. One day I hope to spend more time animating. I can't make any work on Blogger, but just click on the picture (or link) above and you'll go to them.

Finished my Portfolio

http://www.piersharper.com/index.html

Finished the portfolio section of my website this evening - all I have to do is the Books part (sorry if you've tried to use it). I promise to get it done ASAP. Oops! Just remembered that I also have to do the Favourite Books page too. Something else for my "to-do" list.

No particular reason for this picture other than it reminds me of the walk I did today through the Ornamental Gardens in Grange Over Sands. They have some beautiful trees there.

New-look Website

I haven't blogged for ages because I've been busy redesigning my website and working on 3D models of ancient Egyptian buildings. Can't say any more about the Egyptian stuff (except that it involves pyramids and temples) because it is secret - but I am loving every second of it! 

Clicking on the picture above (I call him Hypno-Bee - look at the eyes!) will take you to my new-look home page. I've added some new sections like Frequently Asked Questions about writing and illustrating children's books and a squid ink site map. Hope you like.
