If you can't make it to my current exhibition at The Coach House then please take a look at this blog, completely dedicated to the project. I have uploaded all twenty illustrations and written a summary of the stories behind the images.

My First Solo Exhibition
"Drawn from the Mabinogion/ D Sarlun o'r Mabinogion" The Coach House, St Dogmaels, Pembrokeshire.
When I started the drawings for this exhibition, I began the project as I usually do, which is to forget that anyone else will ever see it. It's the only way I can remain honest to my imagination. When people eventually see the illustrations, I have a twitter/facebook page to represent myself, but on Friday night it was just me, standing in front of my work. I was scared.
The support I received on the night was incredible. A huge thank you to everyone who came (and listened to the awkward speech), thanks to Clare for inviting me to exhibit and to Tim for introducing my work and speaking about The Mabinogion.
The show runs until January 2014, and I will be drawing and painting in the exhibition space every Tuesday from 10am-2pm. If you'd like to know more about the body of work, come and say hello

Hiraeth - www.project-hiraeth.com
My best buddy of 16 years, Steph Davies is embarking on a huge research project which will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the welsh colonies in Patagonia. She jets off to South America in February, I hope to follow her there later in 2014 to illustrate the adventure. Here is my illustration for "Project Hiraeth" (The word Hiraeth has no direct translation to English. It can only be said that the word helps describe a feeling of longing, nostalgia, of a yearning for home or for the lost Wales of the past.)
