Hi and welcome to the site. A bit sparse I agree, but it's an age thing.
Current projects include...

BATLEY TV
I'm still helping volunteers in Batley, West Yorkshire create their own regular 'monthly' online programmes. The programmes are currently split into two 10 minutes parts and have attracted a lot of interest in the area.

FILM MAKING
I'm in talks with a community group in Hemsworth, South Yorkshire to make a short fiction film set in and around Hemsworth. Not a big deal you might think but this group have never written a script before, have no knowledge of video, cameras or editing but are as keen as they come. Once funding is secured we'll get the project on the road.....more details to follow.

SELF PUBLISHING
I've been helping first time authors get into print for over 15 years now and continue to produce books for indivdual writers, writing groups and anyone interested in turning their 'manuscript' into a professional looking book. Print runs can be as small as 50 books (digital), or 1,000 and more (offset litho). If you'd like more details please get in touch.

COMPUTER TRAINING
Most of the training I do these days is with organisations in Yorkshire. After all these years Photoshop remains the most popular, with InDesign a close second.

VIDEO FOR THE WEB TRAINING
I've recently been asked to present workshops on 'video and the web' which are proving very popular. These video workshops are an ideal way to show students the basics of shooting and editing professional looking video. Students are also shown the 'tricks of the trade' which will significantly improve their videos and give them the 'wow' factor.

These video workshops are also ideal for small community groups who would like to learn the skills to use video and the web for their projects.

ARTWORK & SCULPTURE
In the past couple of years I've been working with various materials, from paper, papier mache and cardboard to create artwork and sculpture for community groups. I'm currently investigating the possibility of working with steel in small wall mounted sculptures and reliefs.

PUPPETS
Puppets are a great way to inspire kids of all ages to communicate and learn new skills. I've done various different forms of puppets over the years, from large scale 'Muppet' type puppets to small 'sock puppets'. I have an ongoing project working with schoolchildren to create easy to make sock puppets, write their own script based around a healthy living theme, and then perform and film the final short piece. Once finished it can be turned into a book or a comic book or even a web-based comic strip.

CAPHOUSE THE MOUSE
A book for children that has been ongoing for more years than I care to remember. Along with my writing buddy Roger Davison I've been developing Caphouse with a view to self-publishing the finished book plus a further five books in the series. However, I've been unable to find an illustrator for the book despite scouring art colleges and chatting to local artists.....so if you know of anyone who'd like to give it a go please get in touch.

POSTERS...ALMOST GENUINE
Another ongoing project that came about when a chum asked me 'Do you have any artwork I can exhibit on the gallery walls for a fortnight to fill in between 'proper' exhibitions?" The 'Almost Genuine' posters were the result of a few days work and they caused quite a stir when finally exhibited. If you'd like one creating for yourself or a friend then please get in touch and I'll see what I can come up with. They work well as 'birthday presents' for those who already have everything and you're stuck for something to get them that's 'original'.
