Now before anyone rushes off to buy one there is one catch, and that is its for kids only. So if you want your little 'uns to be the best decked out kids on the street or if you can squeeze into a smaller size knock yourself out. Maybe if this is popular, just maybe howies might print an adult version, who knows.

What was planned for the new site design was one that was clean, easier to update and also easier to maintain the other elements featured in the site. The site is now easier to navigate around with no more going back to the main menu page which was one of my primary goals to change from the start.

So take a look around and check out the new work in the two new gallery sections which go under the titles of drawn and graphic.
