I am an artist and animator. I spend hours every day doing one or the other. I hope to go to college to study those subjects. Other stuff I love is singing and acting and dancing at Drama in Cambridge. I'm going to be Dopey in the school Christmas play. I would love to be in a musical in London. Travelling is great too. I want to go everywhere and meet everyone.

Just finished painting these. Pomegranates they are, but I can never remember that, and keep calling them apples with raspberry seeds. It took me about 3-4 hours each day for about 20 days, so that's... quite a long time. Hey, I just won first place with this at the Thaxted Fair and had salted caramel icecream to celebrate.

Right now, I'm doing fruit and vegetables on artist's board. 4 hours per pic. (My Ma picked the sunflower from a field and we put it in a vase at lunchtime. Then this bee came along and I am frightened of bees because I get stung a lot. But this little fella just tucked into the pollen.)

This is Monet's sunflowers. I spent about half an hour each day for six days on this. I enjoyed it and am feeling much more confident with paint. I feel like a real artist. I did it with my fingers until the second last day, when I used a brush and I wipe my fingers on my special French shirt. Then I get back to my cartoon sketching.

This is Loraine Smith. We call her Doddy. In pencil.

(MODERN MYTHS extra terrestrials) there have been many tales of aliens in modern times, from long, stick-thin figures with large heads and glowing eyes,to tiny little bugs,to green creatures with many arms and eyes which fly in spaceships.people are fascinated by the idea that there may be life on others planets; intelligent, hostile, friendly, stupid or other.there have been countless stories,books,films and plays about all kinds of extra terrestrial life, but until we visit more planets,we may never know if we are alone in the universe.

(FOLKLORE Frosty looks) jack frost is an elfish figure who symbolizes crisp, cold wintry weather. he is said to leave patterns in the autumn leaves and the patterns in the frost that are left on windows, it is thought that the nickname jack frost comes from Norse mythology as 'jokul' who was the cause of icicles and 'frosty'

We were at the National Portrait Gallery on Thursday and everyone kept walking past this picture on the right because they thought it was a photo. But it wasn't. It's an acrylic on linen painting and I sketched him.

Georgette Magritte

We went to see 'Happy Days' last week in London. There was a lady buried in the sand and a man crawling along. It took me about 4 hours.

This is the guy who wrote 'Happy Days'. Samuel Beckett

Monet's 'Van Gogh'

This is wax crayons. It took about 6 hours. I've been drawing for 7 years. Before that, I hated drawing but I'm not sure why. Maybe because I couldn't quite get it as I wanted. I can't remember.

This is a fly that I drew at school.

Picasso. We just went to the museum in Barcelona but this picture wasn't there!

King Neptune

Monet's 'The Magpie'

It took me about 8 hours to draw this. Snow in the sun is tricky to get right. I got £5 for working so hard! Oh, it's pencil.

This is Monet's Rue Montorgeuil. My Mum saw it in the Musée d'Orsay and asked me to paint it. Acrylic paints. It took about 20 hours or a bit more and there's lots of layering. I got £50 and I bought Video Game Art and some dvds.

We watched the Lee Hammond dvd about portraiture. You start with trying to get the light on the sphere correct. Then we did a portrait of her granddaughter. We can't remember her name. My parents did a portrait too but theirs didn't look like the little girl.

White emulsion on black paper. Some kind of sea dragon? I can't explain.

At Brackenfield, drawing the Queen. As you do.
