A day in the life of a Norfolk turkey
In 1999 I was commissioned by the British Turkey Federation to produce a calendar for the Millennium in support of The Peter Aliss, Powered Wheelchairs for Severely Disabled Children's Charity.
I elected to depict the life cycle of a commercial turkey, the prospect of which terrified the life out of them. Trust me, I said. People will love it....and they did, raising 10's of thousands with the sale of the originals raising £26k alone. One of the better thing's I've done with my life.
This image was titled 'Hatching' and as you can see, the principle is quite simple...and entirely feasible...bootiful bor.

I'm back...
Wow...what a year I've had. If I told you everything you'd think I made it all up...Let's just say I got to tango with the grim reaper himself a time or three....and he was found wanting. What else can I say....I'M ALIVE so let's KBO as Winston Churchill would say.
