    It's a crowded market Richard, so I echo what Kev said: Well done for giving it a go.

    While none of your releases appealed to me personally, there was absolutely nothing wrong with them in terms of quality. The only turkey (in my opinion anyway, and I'm going to be honest) was the "Old Dobbin" panto horse head. Not sure what that was all about or what market you were aiming at with it. But that said, no company large or small has ever got it right every time, and there were some very nice pieces among the others.

    I'm sorry to hear that things didn't pan out as well as you'd hoped/expected, but maybe you'll be back some time in the future after you've had a break and taken stock. Either way, all the best to you.

    The story of Dobbin our Panto horse is a nostalgia visit to my childhood.He and his friend the Jester are based on a childrens show in the 80s on Bbc1 about a dusfunctional group of ghosts and their human friends.I aimed the series of whimsical characters at people into nostalgia and also these were for my wife.A dear friend of my wife lost her Dad and brother in a very short timespan and i had this in mind to create something i could send painted by my friend to try and bring some laughter into her dark time.Ive sold a few so there are a few slightly wacky folk like me out there.
    I certainly dont think hes a turkey and its something thats unique to me and my little company.
    Pip pip.

    Fair enough. Thanks for the explanation. Irrespective of the pros & cons of the release (and the above comments are just my own subjective opinion, nothing more) the idea behind it is a very nice one. Glad you've sold a few. (y)
