During the launch of Adrian Bailey’s book titled, ‘Otherworld; The Isle of Mist’, I also set up a stall in one of the halls based in the Villa Marina, Douglas. It was very successful, bringing in a lot of new client listings and happy customers, great reaction to the drawings of the Manx Mythical and Folklore characters. Also getting rid of some sprite creatures from the exhibition in the ’Erin Arts Centre’ a while back. I will definitely be approaching other events that allow me to set up a stall, the interaction with everyone and all the smiles is brilliant, keep it coming!

On the 27th November, Adrian Bailey's new release of the Fictional Novel, 'Otherworld', 'The Isle of Mist' is finally available. This fantasy novel has brought a fresh look to the folklore of the Isle of Man and an inspiration to children and adults about islands magical nature of its landscapes, buildings, artists and writers. This was a relationship that gave me a real insight into the writers mind and working closely along side publishers. Working within a close nit team and developing images for Adrian's ever challenging ideas of this his stories. The mixture of having a strong imaginative way of thinking and meeting to the writers detailed requirements has improved my skills, this is a commission to remember. This will be a part of a trilogy, the second volume will available next year and personally cant wait.
