Tims astra. A guy walked past whilst I was painting it, and even though I told him it was my mates car he still thought it was illegal...I asked why and he said because he'd never seen it done before. Fortunately new stuff is not illegal: bring on more car canvas! June 2008.

Dennise's old ambulance. It was windy, cold and wet when I painted this at Solfest, and appreciated the hot cups of tea more than ever! Dennise wanted a celticy design, which reminded me of the Tamil kollams - both are thought to bring good luck and protection. 08/08
