If you haven't yet visited this nationally renowned landmark site in Halifax, West Yorkshire, you're missing out! Whether you want to browse the Galleries and Design Shop; sit & enjoy the varied selection of great food in the cafes and restaurants ; go along to one of the Jazz evenings or Comedy nights or dine there before visiting the Viaduct Theatre, this amazing building houses it all and much more! www.deanclough.com

The Design Shop is both a gallery and retail outlet, with the focus on well-designed, well-made objects. Over the years, the Design Shop has developed into THE place to find the perfect gift, the unusual piece of glass or ceramics, the affordable original artwork or that special piece of jewellery. It has one of the best selections of cards to be found anywhere.

(I'm pleased to have some of my work for sale in the Design Shop. Look under 'Art for your Walls' and 'Cards & Stationery' sections.) www.designshop.org.uk

Jamie is a well established, brilliant cartoonist and illustrator. His Santa & Rudolph illustrations have kept me laughing and relatively sane on the ever crazier run up to Christmas! View his Gallery on the website and you'll see a range of his work from the wonderfully potty Daphne David's 'Dot' (of latter years) to Jamie's more recent invention of hilarious 'Funny Farm' characters AND most can be purchased as E cards. Don't miss a visit to his Blog too, that contains very funny, witty & sometimes dark humour within (oh yes, he's a complex chap that Charteris!). Suffice is to say, laughing makes us feel great so once you've discovered Jamie's world of characters you'll know where to go for your daily dose! www.jamiecharteris.com
