Got some cards published and set to do the art fair next year, maybe Bristol in spring but definately Manchester in October. New plan is to pack in work slightly earlier and drive around the UK in the vw camper before we go off cycling. Cheaper than living in the house and it will get us in the swing of things to come. Also going to load up the van with my paintings and sell or drop them off at any gallery that'll take them on nthe way.

96 weeks to go before I cycle around the world
Still looking for a publisher for my paintings but hoping to exhibit soon.
Almost finished slating the roof of the new extension, we're hoping to rent the house out next year so that we can save more money and get rid of things we don't need...I can feel a big car boot coming on. There's not much that I want to keep apart from my hundreds of paintings.

98 WEEKS TO GO BEFORE CYCLING AROUND THE WORLD
To get around the world I'll need some money. There will be some money for a rainy day but I need to work. I want to work and feel that working will give me a better feeling of the places I visit.
I also want make some money from painting.
My intention is to complete a sketch or painting for every week of the countdown, illustrating aspects of the planning and also how I feel about the way things are going...the fact that I'm counting down already annoys me slightly, it's like wishing life away, which is not the best way to work positively.
I've also contacted various publishers of greetings cards to try and raise some sort of income from my back catalogue of paintings
(take a look at this link http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidjfrench/ )
We're also looking at various websites that cater for people looking for work in return for a food and lodge. Any sort of building work would suit me, but it would be interesting to get involved with eco or work of some architectural importance.
