Here's wishing all my customers past, present & future a very Happy Christmas.
Thank you for your support & patience throughout 2024, which has been the most challenging year for me health wise, both physically & mentally which meant putting my art on the back burner for a while (sorry to those whose orders got delayed).

Slowly life is getting back to some sort of normality, let's hope next year will be better than the last.

Have a great day everyone, and remember the no.1 Christmas rule here at FaceValue....

๐Ÿ’š Something's DODGY...

If like me you grew up with the sounds of "Staying Out for the Summer" & "Grass man" bellowing from your speakers then my recent artwork of the amazing Dodgy could be "Good Enough" for you.

I absolutely loved designing this artwork of one of the bands whose music got me through a few tough years. Having reached out to the band, l was lucky enough to end up a guest of theirs at their recent December 2024 gig in Newport, where the band happily signed my original artwork and l was able to present each of them with a limited edition print.

If you're interested in purchasing a print then please get in touch. All prints are A3 in size, printed on high quality matt card, back boarded & fully sealed, and are ยฃ26 posted via 48hr tracked.

Music is definitely one of the best coping mechanisms when it comes to self help with Mental Health. For me, its especially the music l grew up. First up were a band that l have followed for 30 years, the amazing Shed Seven.
It was great to work on my confidence building whilst producing this artwork and have the tunes of the Sheds blasting out.
It was also great boost to my confidence and a test of my social anxiety when l got to meet the band back at the start of October and get the original artwork signed in, whilst being able to present them all with a copy of the limited prints.
A3 PRINTS ARE ยฃ26 EACH including Postage (part of the proceeds are donated to Dementia UK) ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿฉท

๐Ÿ˜€ NOTICE... (Life is a little more on track)

As many of you know over the last year or so l have been dealing with a few physical health issues that seemed to come at me thick & fast one after the other. On top of that l have had a horrendous year dealing with my mental health also, l won't lie it's been s**t!!! and just l fely l was getting on top of things, life threw me a curveball about three or four months ago and my head and thoughts took a really dark downward spiral that l am still dealing with.
Every day the horizon changes and the mental goalposts move.
But l have some fantastic support in place and through music and art l am getting to where l need to be ๐Ÿคฃ

My health issues have meant that l have been lacking in ability and motivation, and sadly my customer orders went into a backlog. But now with only 4 or 5 Personal Caricatures to complete the pressure is almost off and NEW orders will be taken in the New Year โค๏ธ (NB: l will be limiting the amount of orders l take next year. They will be extremely low compared to previous years)

Over the last few months l have been building my confidence back up in my own artistic abilities by revisiting my drawing techniques and experimenting with new colours & products.
For this my subject matter was the bands whose music over the years had dragged my head out of those dark places and seen me function normally.
For me those bands have been Counting Crows, Shed Seven, Travis, Dodgy, Matchbox 20 and most recently The Lottery Winners.
As a bonus l have even got to meet a few of the bands and her the originals signed.
It's been great to work on these little vibrant and meaningful projects, that brought me back to a happy place ๐Ÿคฃ

Good things come out of bad situations, by producing these prints l have been able to raise some much needed funds for Dementia UK

Polite Notice..an Apology x

As many of you know, l pride myself on the work l produce, and the reputation l have for communicating with my customers throughout their artwork order process.
My reviews speak for themselves ๐Ÿ˜€
However the last 12 months or more have been horrendous health wise. What started with a little anxiety over a sprained thumb, ended up with a total relapse of my mental health and my PTSD raising it's ugly head and making my every living minute a waking hell.
Then when out clearing my head, it was a little stumble that knackered my knuckle and took bloody ages to heal. Then as l am working thru the back log of orders caused by my health, and getting on really well ( l think l am only 5 orders to complete and l am done) l was hit with a heart scare last week and told to rest.
Then three days later l now have a serious infection in my right hand/wrist. This was the exact same hand they took bloods from last week, hence l feel they are connected. Stuck with a hand/wrist that is swollen to the size of a small water melon has me on forced rest and a course of antibiotics to see how the infection fares.

Sadly this will knock me back even more with my backlog and current customer orders. For this l must apologise and hope that my customers will continue to stick by me as l battle with my ongoing health issues. Your orders are all priority to me and will be with you as soon as l can start to hold a pen/pencil again.

Thank you for understanding and l am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused

Kind regards

Bill ๐Ÿ˜ฅ
