Welcome

Whether you’ve landed on this website by accident or design, hello and welcome!  If you’re looking for colourful watercolours, cartoons or illustrations, books on sailing, nautical designs or even an art tutor in Pembrokeshire, you’ve come to the right place.  With a bit of luck you’ll need all of those things and also a holiday too, in which case we can help with a bit of b&b and a holiday let in gorgeous West Wales (no, it doesn’t rain all the time).

A special hello to all the young (and not so young) sailors who’ve been using my RYA Go Sailing books – please get in touch and let me know what you think.    Most of this year I’ve been busy writing the next book in the Go Sailing series.  RYA Go Green is all about the oceans and marine conservation, so it’s not just for sailors but for everyone.   It involved a huge amount of research, a task made easier by my consulting editor, the excellent and very knowledgeable Dr Susie Tomson (www.earth2ocean.co.uk).   I’m just working on the finishing touches so hopefully it will be ready by Christmas. 

It’s nearly Southampton Boat Show time again – opening on Friday 10th September.  We’ll be there on stand J040, Solent Hall, opposite Kelvin Hughes with all my books, cards, prints and a new set of cartoon Christmas cards.  Come and say hello if you’re at the show.  Maritime Woodbridge is also happening on 11th and 12th September, so I’ll be there as well.  Although it clashes with Southampton, it’s too nice an event to miss! 

All my designs – cards, prints, books and other stuff - are available at our online shop www.starfishbooks.co.uk.
