All dinosaurs are scary. Aren't they? Asked who is the scariest, the dinosaurs argue that each is more scary than the other but we soon discover that the scariest creature might not be the creature you think!

The Scariest Dinosaur is Roy R. Awbery's debut children's book and was inspired by his love of art (Roy is also an accomplished artist) and his fondness for making up stories for his grandchildren. Combining the two seemed to be a natural progression.

Deciding when a painting is truly finished is challenging and I often return to make changes many times before finally declaring it finished. But that's not the end of the work as an artist. There is still work to be done. Here are my 10 tasks to complete before you can say your work is really finished.
Ever wondered where my paintings get created? Did you think I had some swanky huge and spacious art studio or that I worked in a cosy loft space? Not quite! Today, I thought I'd show you where I work which, with lockdown restrictions and working from home, is now also my office. My point? One doesn't need a huge dedicated space to create art that sells.
