AND I’ve won the Talos award.

My sculpture ‘Rag and Bone’ won the award as the best piece by a newcomer to the Society of Portrait Sculptor’s exhibition in London recently (Cork Street, no less). The standard was really high and I was lucky to get in the show at all really. To win the award was just the icing on the cake. It means that they will cast a portrait of mine in bronze, which is excellent. Also, in other news,  I’ll be turning this piece of chestnut...

And that is all.
