• Put It on The Shelf

  

  First of all apologies for the month of silence, had a bit of writers block here but hoping that this is more of a one off. I thankfully have not had a creative block and have been continuing with my mini ‘Argos Stockroom’ set for the Stop Motion segment of my ‘A Day in the…

When I initially spoke to Wes’s team, they were…
