Thanks Jon, it's great to know you liked it. I am sorry about the spelling - we noticed them too ( and also "Banyon"). It was very late when we finished building the slide show and we really wanted to see if it would loadup to YouTube ok. I take full responsibility for all the spelling mistakes though, and I will try harder in future. But I cannot take much credit for actually building the slide show since it was all put together by my close friend Stephen Edwards. He's an excellent Professional Photographer I've been close friends with since I was young and had hair. I chatted while he did the work. But I gave him the spellings, and made tea. Next time I will ask his wife to check my spelling.

Vince.

Hi Vince
Congratulations on the slide show which is really excellent and does tremendous justice to David's work.
Loved the music. What is it and by whom?
On the negative side, two spelling mistakes which it would be nice to correct ie Sumatran tiger and Intrigue for the cheetah cub. Sorry but it's the teacher in me and it detracts from the general high standard. Regards Jon

Comment on Happy New Year from David

Thank you Jon for mentioning Simon Skuse. I was shocked and very sad to here about Simon from David recently. Simon has always been very friendly and has often left interesting and useful comments on this blog, and he sold me some of my first prints of David's. He has been very helpful in the past and like you Jon, I wish Simon a speedy recovery. Simon is a great character, and a really nice person.

I will look into getting your ideas into the new website too. They are very good. Especially, the monthly image idea.

Vince.

Comment on Happy New Year from David

Great to start another year by reading the latest news from David and Vince. I'm sure that the new web site and articles will be as interesting as 2009. Congrats to David on two great exhibitions in the Autumn and thanks to the hosts of the two venues who put in so much work to make them so enjoyable. Role on the next exhibition in 2010. Can I, on behalf of lots of David's supporters, wish Simon Skuse a speedy recovery. I'm sure many of the readers have enjoyed his exhibitions and incisive comments on wildlife art and his enthusiasm and knowledge is sorely missed.
Two suggestions for the new website. Firstly, how about one of David's works of art as a picture of the month? One of David's many characteristics, that sets him above most wildlife artists, is that he'll draw unusual, interesting, animals such as the recent pangolin or earlier bat eared fox, not just the usual lion and elephant etc. I'm sure such subjects plus info on them would entertain and educate us.
Secondly, can we have a hit counter for the week/month rather than the graph which is hard to read?
Good wishes for a successful year and here's hoping more readers give their views and contribute to make Wildlife Sketches one of the best wildlife sites on the web.

Thanks for the great comments. I agree, David's drawing are stunning. David's Print "Grey Wolf" was very popular when it was released and it was soon sold out. So now this print is only rarely available when a collector decides to sell one. Please contact me for latest information obout any Sold Out Prints
