Just finished a kids karate helmet! He sounds like a mean mother as his fighting name is "Animal Hughes" Grrrrr! Together we thought of a doing some "tiger style" on his head gear - so now he's the meanest karate kid in Cornwall! HEll YEAH! 
These weren't my usual paints, had to use createx to allow for enough flexibility in the work  but happy with the result... let me know what you all think
best wishes
Silverbird GRRRRRRRR ; ) x

Finally, back on the internet spending my time doing the wrong kind of surfing...not that there's been much want to get in the water recently with painful wait for sunshine. But i'm not going to let the weather get me down, when there's airbrushing to do!!! Current jobs on are a TOP TEN headgear helmet (like what you see in the amateur boxing ring) for a kid who does karate and an art deco style logo on another triumph thunderbird. 
oh.. & I might have accidentally acquired a modest motorbike myself... It appears there is a fairy godmother (note: they do come in all shapes and forms) because i woke up one day to find that this little beauty was for me...

it does come complete with fairing and lights, added bonus i thought ; )

I had an absolutely awesome time at Thruxton! It was a lot more than I expected. Watching the races live you can truly appreciate the sheer power of the super bikes and what it takes to be able to handle these machines, including the risk the riders take. Unfortunately, one of the riders, Lee Costello #37 came off his Kawasaki at one of the bends - although I believe the rider is fine now, when u see the rider not get up it really makes your heart stop. Hope he makes a speedy recovery. The race also included the first female rider to reach the British super bikes, Jenny Tinmouth, go on Jenny!!!! Never knew we would actually get to meet the ridesr too... I have to say all of them were absolutely lovely. Special thanks to Chris Walker and Karl Harris (my favourites) for letting my daughter sit on their ridiculously expensive bikes. Got a bit smitten by Josh Brookes... Who wouldn't??? He's got dimples, his taller than me n rides a Gsxr! Lol....
The weekend was topped off by the great company I had; Geoff n Richie from Atlantic motorcycles, Newquay. They really looked after me n Clara n also cook a mean breakfast! Thanks boys :-)))

Well I'm giving myself a cheeky day off tomorrow but who wouldn't when they got offered cheap tickets to go to the Thruxton Superbike races!!!! Thanks to Richie Lee at Altantic Motorcycles, Newquay. So excited! And my little girl is coming too (well prepared with her pink camo ear defenders). Life is good : )))))))

Just to let you all know i'm moving house again!!! Unfortunately this means that my internet will be down until around the 20th of April so, if you need to contact me it's probably best to give me a call on the ol' dog n bone (phone).
