I hope I’m not going back to my old ways, leaving a whole month between posts – aarg, but rather that it’s just the result of having been ill over the past couple of weeks. Only time will tell!

A lot has been happening despite my lack of interaction with the world. Mostly I’ve been preparing for the forthcoming Collectors’ Day at The Magic Circle in London where I’ll be exhibiting pieces from my series A Sage of the Stage, not a Beast in a Cage. This has in part involved me trying to engage more with things like self promotion, which I find somewhat excruciating, but happily I have found that on the whole people are receptive and friendly and one nice bit of news last week was that I’m to be included in the next issue of the online art magazine Cut-Click.

I’ve also started a new blog, in addition to this one (yes I know, seems slightly ridiculous given my recent tardiness) which is going to focus entirely on artists that use magic or illusion as themes in their work. My aim with The Fine Art of Illusion is to showcase these artists and, over time, for it to become a resource for anyone looking for magic themed art.

Do pop back later this week, as I’m going to write another post about my trip to meet artist Roxana Halls and to see her exhibition at the National Theatre.
