Paris

I recently spent a week in Paris, where I was showing my book or as the French would say 'ton book' It was a fantastic journey, first stopping off with friends from London and then moving on for a visit with the newly relocated Illustrator Miss Rice, who has been enjoying a very successful move from London to Paris. I was very privileged in being able to preview some of her newly published work as well as having a delightful dinner. With a candy colour palette and sophisticated fashionable line to her illustrations these have a distinct feminine appeal. I'm very interested to see what happens over the forthcoming months as Miss Rice infiltrates the very distinctive world of Parisian Illustration with it's rather boyish style, whatever happens I'm sure she will stand out amongst the crowd.

Also in Paris I was able to meet with Fashion Photographer Nicolas Receveur, where we eagerly discussed future collaborations over coffee. More on Paris to come shortly.

NEW Start

For quite a few weeks now I have been contemplating how to start this Blogg, some of my first thoughts were to post up all of my journey's and antics that I have been up to over the past few months since going freelance, something which shall happen over the next few weeks. This however wasn't really a new beginning for me. Launching my website www.alun-davies.com stage 1 in 2006 and now stage 2 in 2008 has seen me post up most of my creative work that I have been involved in over the past few years, this includes showing a visual process behind what goes on in a world of artistic direction, and now with this blog I will be commenting on the work that I produce as well showcasing and commenting on other projects, images, films and sounds all from different disciplines, some of these I will be involved in and others that I may have simply noticed on my journey's.

However for my first blog I would like to dedicate it to my Parents Dorothy and Winston who have always way supported and inspired my work. Becoming more apparent as I go through collecting all what I have done over the years it has always been a reassurance to know that my decisions have always been supported without question, this is something which can easily go unnoticed unless the tables were turned.

And so thank you...

Dorothy Davies, Lewis Winston Davies
