I've been looking into a style to use, to create my paintings and art prints. I'm researching Japanese Graphic design and also the world of designer toys. The plan is to draw, design and paint a collection of artworks for people to buy on my website... Then some how I need to get the UK media attention, maybe just the Wales newspapers and news on BBC Wales or hopefully something that would get coverage on the main 10 O'Clock news on BBC. This would be awesome, as this would get bloggers, facebookers and youtubers writing clicking and talking about the artworks for sale on a sitting duck dot com.

At the moment I'm building friends through Facebook and Youtube. I've had 2,000 pages views so far from this blog, and as a finished piece of 100 blogs, I think that it could be an interesting read in parts in the future.

The office is looking good to move in officially in August 2009, so that will be good, hopefully will get a Cardiff local uplifting news story about a brand new Wales art and design business.

In a way its good that I don't get too many hits at the moment as I would rather show the world the website once it has a finished collection to buy and the support from a toy manufacturer to produce a vinyl toy, that way when you click on the website, there is a proper story on how it got established, mission statement on what "A Sitting Duck" wants to do for the world and what the website can offer people. As I've built a network of designers, I want to use them in the future, so maybe all the web design and graphic design work I will offer for a percentage and I'll try and keep myself free for the drawing painting and public relations. I don't really want to stick on the p.c. forever, thats part of the reason I started my own business was to try and give me more free time to draw, paint and spent time in the great outdoors!, although Wales has been cold this winter!.

Thanks for reading!...
