More martial arts art! I love the gracefulness that martial arts both requires and harnesses in it’s practitioners. The ultimate form of dedication, self-discipline and self-control.

The second Sid Smart is currently being created… The second book in the series will look at another aspect of living a healthy lifestyle, something as a qualified health and fitness professional I feel very strongly about.

Using my knowledge gained through obtaining high-level qualifications in nutrition and fitness, I have created my first series of books – Sid Smart. With charming illustrations and relatable storylines, Sid Smart will take children on a journey which will teach them how to make healthy lifestyle choices.

Sid always starts the day with a good, high protein breakfast. He feels more awake, more energised and more ready for the day when he starts the day with protein. Other benefits include: a reduced appetite for snacking, a metabolism boost and increased mental awareness. Some great breakfast options are: eggs, yogurt, beans, lean meat, seeds and if all else fails, a protein shake.
In Sid Smart, children can learn how to make healthy lifestyle choices. In the first book, Sid Smart – Eating, Sid teaches children about the importance of healthy, nutritious and balanced food choices.

So, I was at the gym yesterday and as I was resting between sets, I saw some peculiar techniques… People do all sorts of strange things in a gym; most of the time they are harmless and will just not give them any results, but sometimes they are dangerous. I have been exercising regularly in a gym for over 20 years and I have seen a large array of things going on… Keep your eyes peeled and you will see things like super-quick movements with a tiny range of motion and perhaps, even people balancing on a Swiss ball whilst trying to squat with weights. All of these strange sights led me to my number one piece of gym advice that I used to give to all of my clients when I was a personal trainer: NEVER copy anyone at the gym.

Here is a piece of artwork that I did digitally on my art tablet and PC. Orangutans always remind me of the issue of deforestation. This is a huge issue with many habitats being destroyed. The homes of many creatures like the orangutan, tiger, elephant and rhino are being ruined.

This was a piece of digital art that I did a while back on my digital art tablet. I like the look of concept art and graphic novels, particularly when they are done digitally. For all you digital artists out there, you know it’s all about adding layers, being patient and being meticulous. Practice makes perfect!

A pen drawing I sketched of a Shaolin Monk. I like the simple use of two pens to create this image on plain paper.

A pencil drawing I did after watching the Martian. I like drawing in pencil as you can smooth edges, rub out, easily add tone and you can do it anywhere.

As it is World Mental Health Day, Sid Smart wants to talk about BACE. Sid believes in balance in his life. When he keeps everything in balance he feels good. He uses BACE to keep things in check:
Body – exercise, eat well and sleep properly.
Achievement – accomplish things (small or large).
Community – socialise and connect with people.
Enjoyment – sometimes do things just for fun!
Sid finds that if one of these four things starts to take over he feels bad. Similarly, if he is missing one of these elements he starts to feel bad. Sid believes that life is about balance as you can even have too much of a good thing…
Sid Smart can help teach your children about living a healthy, happy lifestyle. The first instalment of Sid Smart is available now from amazon.co.uk and amazon.com.
