    STARDUST! The movie!..

    WOW, what a day I had yesterday....Try and cut a long story short! I was invited to exhibit my work at PECKFORTON castle in Cheshire along with 3 other artists for a special event [what a castle! ]

    But it sounded all hush hush and alarm bells rang! anyway they emailed me several times to ask me to leave my work there at a specific time and I have to go back tomorrow at a specific time to pick up my work........all sounded very odd indeed!
    ANYWAY!...off I went...castle on the horizon getting nearer...goosebumps...went through a forest to get to it .....all very spooky and fairytale...then I saw posters...THE MAGIC STARTS HERE etc...then posters of Robert di nero!! then Michelle pfeiffer...Sienna miller...ricky gervaise....the list goes on!

    Music playing-all very theatricle and dramatic!

    I walked on a red carpet to castle entrance! and was shown inside and were to set up.
    Cameras and a big screen in one big room....staff all running round...champagne set up and a huge hallway with a table for lil me.

    All hush hush still!....then the company who contacted me revealed it was the film premier for 'STARDUST' out on August 10th!
    100 people inc cast attending...helicopters all over the place etc...I was told not to take pictures of anything!...errr I didn't

    So came away buzzing and looking forward to going back tomorrow!...The story continues...............

    How exciting zebra, do you know where they've seen your work? I hadn't heard of stardust, but if it's got Ricky Gervais, then I want to see it.

    Can you imagine being contacted by somebody famous who likes your work...oooooo I'm so excited for you, god knows how excited you must be....Well done

        They did a search for artists based in Cheshire and found my site. It was nice to be chosen Ricky looks like he has a great part in the film.

        Im just about to leave again now to pick up my work! ...yes, very excited lol ....mind you that castle is fantastic so im looking forward to seeing that again and have a bit more of a look round.

        Thank you for your reply

          Thank you....fingers crossed some work was sold but I think it was more for the event itself.

          Can you imagine Robert de niro calling asking for p+p prices lol

          Im hoping they will let me put something on my website about it.

              Awww thank you for the compliments glad you like my work. Ricky looks the part lol....and the film looks great...right up my street.

              Tummy skip~I know what you mean!...That castle is enough to make anyones tummy skip with or without the film premier.

              Went back to collect my work...business cards all gone and I have 2 commissions to do...not sure who there for yet, the company are contacting me Monday but the staff inform me that everyone loved my work.

              It was just nice to be part of something different.

              I had a guided tour round the castle and managed to let 3 film posters fall in my car on the way back!

                            Zebra, I could see yuor work in a fanatsy movie!

                            I once saw preview of Snatch and I swear Guy Ritchie was there.There was a blonde man that everybody was staring at but I didnt want to stare.

                            Oh to be pals with the stars!!
