18.01.2020 // the last time I won something was ab 18.01.2020 // the last time I won something was about twenty years ago - a flight in a Tiger Moth - and it was only because nobody else put their name forward! Mateusz Urbanowicz is one of my favourite illustrators and as well as following his work on here and on YouTube, I follow along with the work he shares over on Patreon too which is where I won this copy of his Tokyo Storefronts book in a recent giveaway. Thank you for sending me the book, Mateusz, it's beautiful and I love all the little details including the end papers and wrap around cover. I'm really excited to sit down and read more about the project and see the paintings in print, and I look forward to seeing the new store front paintings you create this year, too. If you don't know his work already do go and have a look at his art over at @mateusz_urbanowicz or find him on YouTube or Patreon.

This piece is really special to me as it was my Grandad's favourite Beethoven sonata. Grandad taught me to play piano before I had formal lessons, and I play from his battered old Beethoven anthologies. The Adagio Cantibile is just at the limits of my skill set at the moment, so it feels like a challenge but hopefully an achievable one. I don't practice in one lump but tend to play a bit in the morning before turning on my computer, and at various points during the day when I would otherwise reach for my phone or examine the contents of the fridge. It's amazing how much time you can find to put in to hobbies that is otherwise wasted time. It's the same way I read as much as I do; five minutes here and there add up throughout the day.
