I wondered if you wanted to participate in a new book I’m doing. Could you email me if you do and I’ll send you details?

I remember being at your house when i was younger and staying over at some point and going out to buy sweets and mr men magazines with your dad.Remember playing in your back garden to on a climbing frame if my memory serves me right.Yes i rember the funny way you held your pen but also the amazing drawings you done as a child.Hope you dont mind me saying hi, your pictures of Burnt oak are so spot on its scary.I still have to see the place every day when i take my kids to school,three of whom now go to Goldbeaters (two others are at senior school and one to young for school).Nice to see your talent never went to waste.Take care.

THEN I saw your message saying that you attended both the annunciation and St James’ schools – in the 1940′s! I too attended both those schools, and was at St. James in the same time period. My wife and I left the UK in 1956, then 2 yrs in Toronto, 50 yrs in Seattle, and now, 4 yrs in Arizona. Looks as though we’re neighbors again1 Just had to let you know, take care, Mike Doyle

I met you the other night at our mutual neighbor’s house for dinner – just got a chance to check out your blog – very cool stuff!

There are a number of students at the school that I teach at (www.metsacramento.org) that are pretty enthusiastic (and in some cases talented) illustrators themselves – let me know if you might be up for one of them contacting you for some ideas/tips about how to continue to pursue it and develop additional skills.

In particular, there is one young man Clave Fourie and I think that you might get a kick out of some of his stuff – http://clave4e.tumblr.com/

All the best,

Andrew

You did some of Sacramento, one of them was of Bishop Gallegos. He is actually my uncle, my fathers twin brother. The sketch yo udid of him is wonderful and its special feeling to know that in such a big busy town with so many things to choose to make sketches of that there was something about him (his satue) that caught your eye enough to take the time to do a sketch of him….thank you!
Rita

p.s. I have enjoyed your writings as much as your sketches, you are very talented!

I too used to live in Crouch End (near the clock tower) and went to school at St James in Burnt Oak. A daily 41 bus ride to Archway, tube to Camden Town then a walk up Orange Hill Road. You make it look better than I remember it!
All the best
James

I went to the Anuncation School then onto Saint James Secondary student during the 40′s, I took the tube from Edgware to Burnt Oak daily, Watling Ave, was a treasure trove of shops in those days.
Like you I am now living in CA.
Keep up the good work,
Rosemarie
