You may (or may not) have read about my recent collaboration with local artist (FB @RubenArt) Jodie. I met her through The Creative Eye at a Networking Event in Southend last year and we got to chatting about work that we were doing, and it soon became clear that a collaboration might be really good for us both.

​Jodie is a very interesting person and artist. Multi-talented, she creates all sorts of artworks across a host of mediums. Her art immediately chimed with me and so I ended up asking her if she'd like to collaborate with me on a project. To my surprise and delight, she agreed.

It took us a while, there were lots of discussions, opinions and options reviewed, but it was all done with one end in mind - to create something unique and interesting. Something that people might want to buy.

Thus, tomorrow the 1st February 2020, we will be unveiling our project in all of its glory with a special offer to those who might be interested in buying something very different and unique.

The images below give you a hint without giving anything away...

Stay Safe and come back tomorrow for the great reveal!

For some reason, I always 'enjoy' even numbered years far more than odd. Maybe because I was born in an even numbered year or maybe because of something different about my personality and the way my mind works (yes I know what you're saying).

Anyway, this January I've been really busy, hence why I've not posted until now. First, the by now almost standard news - I have a NEW book of poetry being published, ready to buy, from tomorrow. It's called 'Distant Echoes' and it is my entire output for 2019. You can see an image of the final book cover below.

This collection has 120 poems across a huge range of subjects, thoughts, and musing. The way the book looks, the finish and overall design of the book is, for me at least; the best I've ever done (so far!).

I am immensely proud of the work I've done for my cover photo, the additions and changes to the image I completed in Photoshop; as well as the inside contents. After SEVEN previous books of poetry I really feel like I'm starting to get things right!

Anyway, it's available from tomorrow for only £3.99 (plus P&P should it be required), it can be personalised by myself if you'd like a special message or dedication, and it will make someone who is into poetry a great gift for less than two cups of coffee at a local Coffee outlet.

In my next post, I'll be partially revealing some interesting and exciting news (well I think it's exciting anyway!)

Keep reading, stay safe all,

​Alan
