As one door closes another one opens...

I have become a member of the b Gallery Art Directory, which is an online art gallery where original artworks can now be bought direct from the artist. They can be purchased via Paypal safely and securely. This maybe the new way to purchase my new t-shirts and other merchandise, including originals and limited edition prints - when they become available. There is a link to the site on my Links page. Currently I only have the original marker pen drawing "I drown in the Sound of your Voice" listed on there for sale - unframed. The pages will be further developed over time. I will inform you as and when the developments happen.

I'm already in the process of designing exclusive Gilli Austin t-shirts, which I hope will be available for sale at Hitchin Craft Market and on the internet later this year. A must for all you keen collectors or those of you who want to wear something a little more cutting edge and unusual. I am currently doing some market research on various designs and creating various prototypes to get some feedback from. If any of you out there have any of my current images in mind for a tee-shirt design, please let me know. I'm looking at producing a product that you really want to buy.

I have two possible locations for future acrylic classes. If we can get enough interested parties to book then we can run them. If you would like to attend my acrylic workshops in the future, you can email me with your name, postal address and telephone number and I will place you on my workshops mailing list. The locations are in Hitchin, both with plentiful free parking and one venue has some disabled access. Prices will start FROM £15 per person per workshop. I will try and keep prices similar to Tim's prices. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE INTERESTED TO SIGN UP BEFORE WE CAN LOOK AT DATES & BOOK THE VENUES.

For those of you who are already having withdrawal symptoms from my classes I have two galleries on my SAA website page - a step by step guide to painting "Reach for the Sun" & an "Acrylic Workshop - Three Tomatoes Step by Step". Why not try and follow it and see how you get on. You can find it on www.saa.co.uk/art/gilliaustin

I hope you enjoyed your visit, thanks for popping in and "Happy Painting" to all.
