Ashleigh and Lewis Birthday Cards
17th birthday card for Ashleigh
I’ve been drawing special birthday cards for my kids ever since they were born and they love them. I said that I would stop doing them when they got to 21 but they were having none of that and told me that I must carry on. Lewis is now 22 and living in New Zealand and Ashleigh is 19 and at uni so I’m still going strong with the special birthday cards. I haven’t posted any for a while so I thought I would post a selection from the last few years….

The original illustration was drawn by yours truly and it has now been installed in the heart of the centre on the top floor of the shopping centre’s rotunda. And to mark the unveiling limited edition postcards featuring the drawings will be available to shoppers at the centre’s management office.

My office for the afternoon
It’s always lovely to play piano at weddings but especially nice when the venue has a beautiful grand piano like the Lakeside Hotel by Windermere.

An extremely fine moustache – a pleasure to draw.
It’s always a pleasure to draw guests at weddings but even more so when presented with an extremely fine beard and moustache such as this. I was worried that I might run out of ink!!!
Happy Birthday Ashleigh
I’ve been making special birthday cards for my kids since their first birthdays. My daughter Ashleigh turned 16 recently. She’s horse mad, so naturally this year’s theme had to be horses again! The horses at Larkrigg near Kendal get spoiled rotten when Ashleigh is around, so you’ll understand what’s going on in this year’s card.
I think Ashleigh spoils the horses at Larkrigg.
