Time to go and find a quiet corner. Phone on airplane mode. 20 mins hard reflection.
Tomorrow, we go again.

Good, pressure is a privilege.

Hey, there's no compendiums of my work I'm afraid. I produced the GBBO Colouring Book in 2016 which is full of my black line drawings, which you can find online.
Apart from that I sell prints on my site - tomhovey.co.uk

The Royal Mail
Website is absolute garbage.
