Just a quick update to say -

My lovely other half has set me up on DeviantArt. Check it out!

Also – here is Ad-Rian’s album teaser for ’5′:

I’ve added a few more wedding pics in the ‘Event Photography’ gallery too, since the season is now underway for 2012!

Working hard here at the HQ

Have a great weekend!

I’ve always wanted to capture some photography of foxes. One of my favourite animals since I was a kid, when I’d religiously watch ‘The Animals of Farthing Wood’. Of course, the character called ‘Fox’ was my favourite.

Well today, I was able to get up close to one of these beautiful animals.

Hope you’re all having a great weekend.

Hello, hallo, grüezi, hola, g’day, bonjour and so on…

Just a quick update to let you know that I haven’t vanished from the face of the earth. As you’ve gathered from the picture above, I’ve been very, very busy indeed. Busy trying on various hats, geek glasses and such.

And… of course, have been working on books, photography, business, marketing… and the all important task of keeping a watchful eye, day to day, on our 3 cats. Yep, 3. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned Rupert before. But to summarise, we now have Simmi (Simba, Mr Sim), Kub and Rupert. In other words, a handful! (lol)

Did my first wedding of the year last week. Was wonderful.

Sooo, yes. Still very much alive and kicking! Just a lot of work to do, and not much time to update. In the words of Arnie…..I’ll be back!

PS – And please do check out this introduction  that Ad-Rian did for his album. We’re still getting generous airplay with ‘Changing’ featuring Andy Abraham.

Just a quick little post to say – I’m having so much fun illustrating the final images for the collection of ‘Jack and the Cats’. The characters of the children’s book are based on real pets in my family – including my own cats! I’ve been taking so many photographs of them to help with the illustration process.

My pets are kind of my ‘subjects’ haha. Kind of enjoying taking photographs of them actually – might have to put a couple on the wall! Maybe that’s a future career move ‘Pet Photographer’! It’s certainly a lot of fun!

Check out these 2 photographs I took today, of the real life ‘Simmi’ and ‘Kub’ from the children’s book! (Any excuse to use my favourite camera really!)

Hey guys!

I’d like to introduce you to Ad-Rian’s new single, ‘Back to You’, a song which I penned with Ad-Rian. Check out the cool music video above!

We have had some brilliant airplay with ‘Changing‘ – the song which features Andy Abraham as mentioned in a previous post! Both songs are featured on Ad-Rian’s new album, ’5′, which is available to download on iTunes, Amazon etc, as well as being available in the physical format, which you can order from Ad-Rian’s official website. The album is awesome and I’m always playing it in the car!

I’m making excellent progress with the entire series of ‘Jack and the Cats‘, as well as working on a few other exciting projects. Have been travelling quite a bit lately, haven’t had time to fully update the travel gallery, but have added a few shots from Paris if you’d like to check them out. Can’t wait to visit Paris again – had such a wonderful time, especially at the cool markets!

Well, it’s back to work for me, and hopefully it’s ‘Back to You‘ for you! Haha – see what I did?

Take it easy,

Hello guys!

A quick update (again)… I experimented by making a book for kids last year, called Jack and the Cats. It made me very happy and was also quite successful, so I have been stuck in my office making an entire series! 

It’s been going well….I will be releasing all of the titles together very soon. As you can see from the above picture – I am re-releasing the 2011 edition with brand new character designs. I felt that if I was going to work on an entire series, I wanted to make it absolutely perfect and be true to myself about character identity.

It was my birthday the other day – would like to thank everybody for their birthday wishes! I had a great day. Here is a photograph taken from my birthday (does 26 count as late-twenties??? Haha) Had a lovely (snowy) day in Bellinzona, an Italian city in Switzerland. Was a great chance to do some photography, as well!

Much love,

Sam

PS – Don’t forget to check out Ad-Rian’s website for details of his new album release ’5′ – not to be missed!!!!

Hey everyone!

Just a quick update! My dear friend and very talented singer-songwriter Ad-Rian is releasing his new album ’5′ soon – and you can pre-order it now on his official website!

We have worked together on some of the songs from the album – and it was a privilege for me to be involved in such an exciting, dynamic record. I can’t tell you just how amazing the album is – check out a teaser of the tracks on his website!

We are currently getting fantastic radio airplay for ‘Changing‘ – a duet between Ad-Rian and Andy Abraham. Check out my songwriting page for info on how we created the track!

The stunning album artwork and photography was by the wonderful and inspirational Anouk Baumann – visit her website here.

I have been busy working on a lot of projects lately – and will update this blog as soon as the news is ready

PS – Happy New Year! lol…

Just a quick hello from HQ!

Wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! The above picture was taken on the way back from Austria last week, and I thought it was pretty festive, so here it is

This has been an absolutely brilliant year when it comes to work. I’m really looking forward to taking 2 weeks off to visit my family in the UK for Christmas, with my lovely other half

There is really so much planned for next year, I’m so excited about it.

So, see you all in 2012

And please check out my 2012 calendar if you haven’t already seen it. Making this an annual thing since last years calendar went down so well!

is being distributed all over Switzerland in the supermarkets!!!

I did a collection of themed photography for Emmi, Switzerland, for their dairy cream cartons! It was incredible to see the collection sitting on the shelf today in the supermarket! The theme I did was ‘deers’, one of my absolute favourite animals (since seeing Bambi as a kid! lol)

Loads more news, so keep checking back, and make sure you stop by and say hello on my facebook page (link on the right—>)

Just another little update from HQ!

Have just updated the travel gallery with some new shots, taken from my 2012 photography calendar! It was such a fun project this time. Getting up very early to watch the sun rising from a mountain… it was lovely.

Also wanted to thank The Coventry Telegraph for their feature about my book, ‘Jack and the Cats’. Read the feature here!

So much more news to come….watch this space!
