Several people have asked me for a voucher they can give their dear donkey/adventure/Wales-loving kith and kin, so I’ve fashioned one out of the notebook doodles of five weeks of running the Kickstarter! You can download it here: Download the donkey voucher here print it out and fill it in. […]
New print! New print! For people who can’t choose just three for the £100 print, here’s a choice of my favourite pictures from the walk. The prints are beautifully printed A3, gicleé prints with archive quality inks so they won’t fade in your lifetime. There will be three options to […]
