What a great idea to put your pictures onto mugs etc. Original one off artwork, you should be able to sell these no problem!
My son had a caricature in Mabelthorpe years ago, it could have been you! LOL.

it could well have been me i'm the only caricaturist in town, there was someone quite a few years ago who did a bit of it, but sadly he died
and yes my cartoon mugs do sell quite well and they are a lot of fun to do designing and printing them

I use Autocad in my consultancy work. It's only a very old version of the LT version, though. ;)

Full time T Shirt & Mug printing, staff of 3 doing both sublimation and Vinyl Printing.

Always looking for more way to expand, finding the recent downturn in the market hard work as we mainly print trade orders and lots of people have cut their order sizes.

My day job :)

I've never really been fond of heights but when you have to, you just got to do it!!!

Yesterday, I felt rather queazy climbing onto the aerial mast gantry on top of the highest building in Cardiff - had to fix a microwave problem! But when I was there, the views were spectacular :)

This is the Cardiff Civic buildings

The Millennium Stadium slap bang in the city centre

and of course, Cardiff Castle

Was nice to get back down!!
