			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My new Diamond Dust Prints officially titled: Twiggy, Blondie and Kate have been officially released as part of my publishers huge exhibition in Birmingham. Unfortunately I could not make it as I was celebrating my Ruth&#8217;s birthday on Miami beach!</p>
<p>However by all accounts they went down a storm I am amazed and humbled at how well this work is being received but it looks like the editions of 195 will sell out quickly! So a huge thank you to all the galleries and customers for all their continued support.

<p>The prints have been released nationwide and galleries will be receiving copies this week, to find your nearest gallery please follow this <a href="http://www.washingtongreen.co.uk/galleries/">link</a></p>
