They are here. HooRAY. For now they reside via Printiful through the Shop above. You can get them up to A2 size which is close to the original. I dream of having them in a shop properly one day. To flick through a collection of prints with your hands. Imagining them in your house. Or who you know that would love it the most. Truly a calming experience whenever I get a chance to do that in a gallery or an art shop. So for now they are available here. I'd love to see yours in it's new home - drop me a message! (Especially if you manage to get a small, furry creature or yourself in shot too :D) When I first painted them I didn't really dream of releasing them as prints - but it's people's feedback that made me want to do it. I know not everyone is able to budget for a full scale commission piece- heck I know I'm not currently! But I always loved being able to own a little piece of an artists work I love. Thanks for being here. 29/04/2025 - A moment of realness. Today I woke up with an inherent grumpiness - to what I have slowly realised is a defence - a steeling against change and opportunity. I open the shop in two days and I am still excited but I am also nervous! It's been a lot of behind the scenes stuff - trialling and editing and learning (lots of learning) - so my brain wants a pay off, naturally. But I am committed to this slow, steady growth of ZDAAP in this new direction. I am selling my own art - much easier said than done. Art is feeling and connection and beauty. Trying to convince yourself it's worth pursuing as a career is hard enough so putting on a marketing cap is not easy. I'm going to finish my coffee. I'm thankful I've managed to name my apprehension and invite it in for a coffee too. A final thought: This post has been in my drafts - for months. I am so happy it's finally released into the wild along with the prints.  Bonus - my actual face when I pressed 'publish' on my shop.

Winner announcement - April 30th This months goal is to expand my mailing list. Why? Social Media is super overwhelming at times. Some mailing lists of people I subscribe to are other creatives, studios that run classes and honestly my favourite YouTube Yoga creator ever - 10 stars if you guessed Adriene with FWFG. I like a mailing list because it feels like a moment of calm. It reminds me these things I am invested in exist and I often taken a minute or two to read what they're up to. It's kind of like a - hey, I care what you got to say so - here - pop me an email. So I thought I'd deliver an incentive and give away a piece of my art to one of my first subscribers. I put the gentle push out and woke up the next day. Pootled onto my mail service and genuinely teared up to see people's names on there. So if you're here - hello! My aims for my mailing list are - to send out an end of month round up - to let people know if I've got a special offer on - to hopefully send out a sprig of inspiration Pretty much an opportunity to pop in, say hello and express gratitude for coming along. See you there. It's free - dip out whenever.
Just make sure to check your spam at first. The decision to get back into the driving seat of ZDAAP came creeping back in over the course of leaving my last job and staring into the abyss of LinkedIn almost every damn day, It's the prize question, "What would you do if money were no object". Well my dude, I would paint. Usually you imagine that no object means you have it - turns out it means when you've not got any money too. So we go to Mystic Pudding Night (obviously) and I pull labradorite, pink lilies and the ace of swords. And I have no idea if these energy readers are just sharing my LinkedIn status with each other in between sessions but the main theme definitely is: "Career. Do it. Stop hiding", I love tarot for that - always calling you out on your stuff. Then comes the Outdoor Table Chat with the harshest reality check unofficial life coach (love you), unsuspecting family members and my long-time client extraordinaire. And the sun is shining. And it feels like winter is melting away. And I take the verbal leap of saying, "I'm giving this another go". And I'm off. And this time - I'm actually making a plan... I cannot just adhd my way through business once more. So, if you're here or you're there (socials, craft fairs, cheering from the sidelines) - I'm available for your art needs. Commissions for paintings, murals, photography, gifts - get in touch - HERE Or you can stalk me at these places: You can now find me over at Patreon (including an explanation of what the hell Patreon is) - HERE Where I'll be posting some snazzy stuff for your eyeballs only. It's a work in progress but I'm excited! I'll be posting to my Youtube - HERE Theatre poster comissions - HERE And of course Insta and FB. And I would like to pop up in your emails if you'll let me - to keep you updated - HERE  Dale asked if reorganising my space counted as work... yes?
