All-in-all, 1997 turned out to be a momentous year, for no sooner had we invested our time and energy into The Elphen Chronicles, than the licence for our art magazine was taken up by a publisher and it was all go. Eileen as the magazine Editor, writing and commissioning articles, with my role being the Technical Editor and principal author/illustrator of the tutorials on traditional painting and drawing techniques. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and the start of the next phase in our creative lives, which ultimately led to the release of my big book, The Essential Painting Guide and our introduction to the magical creative talent of Sunita Gahir; whose vision for books and design was to have a major influence on the The Elphen Chronicles and the various steps along our journey to where we are now.
