Hi from Si - Some words about this place

Greetings and welcome to Arch Violet's Emporium of Arty Stuff.
At one point in my long and incredibly twisty career I used to be a professional Graphic artist, earning a living designing stuff for people, and companies. The money was great but the work was really dreary, I soon got fed up of doing art for yoghurt pots. And I am not very good at ‘clocking off’ I just carry on till it is done. 
I love creating stuff… Art, Music, whatever. I don’t need a reason other than wanting to do it. And if I like it, it is ‘good’. If other people like it… brilliant, thank you, if they don’t, that’s ok. I don’t really care.
I mainly made my living from music, Started a band called The March Violets back in the 80s, wrote all the words, some of the music and did all the artwork. So there will be original artwork on here from then, and if you want that stuff I would appreciate you buying it from me rather than some thieving bootlegger. Thanks. I've had a few bands, The Batfish Boys and D-Rok, done Electronic muzak under various guises, and some of that stuff will no doubt make an appearace.
I will have met some of you, (Hi again) and you may know that I had a stroke a few years ago. I don't get out much these days, and the Lockdown seriously nailed me in for 3 years. I must admit the solitude was a challenge. I probably went a bit mad, though was already somewhat cracked and Neurodivergent from even before the stroke anyway. So here we are, I hope you enjoy having a look round. If you buy anything I promise to fritter the money away, though I do fancy a cruise. I hope you sign up to monthly emails, I will be posting new stuff up, things from the vaults, special offers and freebies. I promise not to spam you.
Cheers x Si
