It's Painters-Online's first birthday! It's hard to believe we've been 'live' for a year now, it only seems like a few months - the time's flown by - we're definitely enjoying ourselves, and hope you are too! We're all very excited, because as well as it being our birthday, we've just seen the first copies of Start Art Issue 5 and it looks great. It's always exciting, no matter how much you work on an issue, to see the first copies arrive in the office. We would just mention that a birthday isn't complete without a birthday cake... however, we'll probably make do with a nice cuppa instead!
