XMAS WHAT XMAS

Me and Valerie will be working through Xmas trying to get everything ready for the show in Kansas. We're figuring out the finer details over the weekend but it looks like we'll be heading to the USA Jan 17 2007. Get those decks in if you want them in the Kansas show. Giddyap yah.

DAISY DE VILLENEUVE

When Valerie first met Daisy she was served tea in chipped, posh old ladies' china cups, along with tea cakes that they scoffed on the rug of some big old rambling house. Daisy spoke so fast it was hard to understand, the rhythm of her speech comes in short bursts, like machine gun fire. Valerie was smitten with Daisy, and her drawings, and bought one off her right there and then that would later be published in her first book - "He Said, She Said" put out by those nice folks at Pocko. Google it or go see amazon. Daisy is mates with people between the ages of 12 and 90. Eccentric, weirdly intellectual types especially welcome.
