Reindeer

[Matt2584]

Hi folks,

I don’t draw as much as used to, I’m a bit busy doing other things and where my Headway has helped me get around on the buses on my own, I’m getting out more now :). I’m building my independence :).

So I try to do some drawing over the weekends and I might only do an hour or 2 but I get to spend more time on making the drawing look good that way :).

I had been working on a drawing of a reindeer which I am gonna get printed onto a greetings and give to family and friends at xmas :).

Take care y’all :).

Dear Matt2584,

Is there 'Some Way' of having these Printed- and Sold- on The HU Website? They, really are 'Good Enough👍,

Please DO 'Try' to Arrange this, my friend..... I would Definitely Buy them.

Hi Andrew,

I’m not too sure about pronted and sold on the HU website but I have sold my pictures via post before.

I would draw for them and tell them when it”s ready, they send me cash or cheque up front, I then send picture.

If it’s a print it will cost less than the original pic.

I have sent originals by post before as well.

And if they want to, I can include a frame for the drawing too if they want one which would be an extra £2.

I still have my beautiful Aardvark Matt.

I wouldn't have been surprised if your reindeer had walked out from my screen ! I can't find any new words for your drawings other than they're all exhibit material. Such talent (as you know). And what a great greetings card for Christmas.

Hope you & family are doing ok. Good to hear you're getting out & about more m'love ! Cat Xx

Aw, Thanks Cat :).

You always have nice things to say :).

I’m glad you still have my Aardvark drawing as well :).

Hi Matt

The drawing is fabulous, really, really good. I agree that it’s good enough to be appreciated by more than family and friends. You must be proud of your talent.

Especially well done on making progress on getting around independently. That’s such a big milestone and you’ve reached it so your world has opened up. We’ll done you!

Thank you, Fall :).

I’ve been drawing most of my life but from 2001-2007 I didn’t have a lot going for me and lost a lot of confidence and independence and motivation.

I stopped drawing for a few years!

I joined Headway in 2007 and my confidence was slowly going up. By 2008, I was drawing again :).

I used to copy pictures from my DVDs and game covers.

In 2010, I joined another disabled club and that is where my art took off as I had someone there help me out with my art.

I’ve sold a few of my pics and in 2014/15 was when Headway helped me get around on the buses and travelling on my own has grown :).

Hi Matt, It’s brilliant and I mean that it is so good he looks like he is ready to fly. Well done Love Liz xx⭐️💯

[Matt2584 in reply to 1949liz]

Thanks Liz. :).

And if I drew that in colour pencils then he might have a red nose to go with it :).

Brilliant to hear that you're getting out and about Matt, well done you, not easy to take these steps but it makes a huge difference to quality of life to be able to do stuff independently - sounds like a win to me. Love the reindeer, you've given him a really sweet expression, he'll make lovely Christmas cards.

Would be lovely to see the completed card 😁 so much can be gained from art work noatrr how good bad or individual it is .. great to hear your making time to enjoy the good things 😁 we so easily can forget What make us feel good 😁. Sue x

[Matt2584 in reply to Teazymaid]

Thank you Sue :).

I have had many nice comments from people about my drawings.

The way I see it, I feel like I am showing off when not necessarily trying to show off :).

But for others, it can brighten their day and I don’t really realise that.

But I’m glad my drawings can help some people :).

[Teazymaid in reply to Matt2584]

Oh yea the drawings will be great to see and please show off your talents as we all should show off our own . We all have talents in very different areas ans allowing them out for others to see is a true gift ,, sue x

[Matt2584 in reply to Teazymaid]

By the way, I shall try to remember to post a picture of the card once I have it.

[Teazymaid in reply to Matt2584]

Cool 🌞look forward to seeing it sue x
