Make It Sew!

Ok, it’s an obvious and terrible pun, but it makes me laugh, which probably says something about my sense of humour. I particularly like how Commander Data facial expression turned out on this one.

I no longer despair!

I came across this quote somewhere and was instantly inspired to make a print out of it. In these times of high fuel prices and global warming, I’d like to think H.G Wells would be encouraged that the humble bicycle is having a bit of renaissance, not sure how he’d react to the Planet of the Apes reference though ;-)

Liz Lemon Wants what every girl wants??

I thought I’d try my hand at less cheesy Valentines day print. So here’s a quote from one of my favourite TV shows 30 Rock as said by Liz Lemon the fictional character played by the lovely Tina Fey (also the creator of the show) With her love of food, star wars and all thing geek I think Liz Lemon would be my (almost) perfect girlfriend.

Enjoy! P.S If you take a close look you can see in the detail lots of little love heart, ahh.

Bartlet For President! (Again)

Happy New Year everyone! Well this is the first of a series of new print projects planned for 2012, so keep checking back for up-dates!
At the time of this post I’m watching (not for the first time), in my opinion the best American TV drama series ever! If you’ve seen it you probably understand and if you haven’t, I highly recommend checking it out! It’s by no means perfect and it does suffer from moments of ‘cheese’ but it’s still a classic.
This 2 colour hand pulled screen print is the largest I’ve attempted so far and measures 50cm x 70cm (approx) and is printed on high quality acid free 220gsm Fabriano Rosaspina art stock which has a deckled edge on the top and bottom. Each print is signed & numbered and I’m only going to be printing 100 of these so once they’re gone they’re gone! Enjoy!

Prepare to Die! The Princess Bride

This is probably the most ambitious screen print I’ve produced so far, but I’m really happy with the result. I was inspired to produce this a couple of months ago when I saw my housemate Brenden watching ‘Your Highness’ and I have to say I wasn’t impressed. So I got to thinking about the far better film, The Princess Bride. I hadn’t seen it for years, there are so many great quotes from that film, I’ve chosen one, from my favourite character Inigo Montoya as played by Mandy Patinkin.

This 4 colour hand pulled screen print measures 42cm x 59cm (approx) and is printed on high quality acid free 270gsm art stock. Each print is signed & numbered and is strictly limited to an edition of 250. Each print will be rolled and shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube.

Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat!

I think one of the first books I was exposed to as a child were the Cat in Hat and Green eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. I remember being fascinated by the the bright colours and weird characters. I recently found this quote by the great doctor and just thought it was perfect, as well as being true!

Quad, Derby ‘Don’t Panic!’ Craft Fair

Hi everybody and ho, ho ho!

This Friday and Saturday I’ve been manning a stall at the ‘Don’t Panic!’ Christmas Craft Fair, held at the Quad in Derby. Big thanks to everyone that came, especially to those people that parted with their hard earned cash and bought one of my screen prints!

Alert!

This print probably won’t make much sense to anyone who hasn’t wasted away hours of their life playing video games, specifically Metal Gear Solid. But if like me have or still do this print will bring back familiar memories.

The 23rd Leicester Art Open

Hello all!

It’s been a busy couple of months and I should have some new prints to show you soon! Apart from being busy creating new works I’ve also had one of my ‘TIME!’ prints selected for the Leicester 23rd Open Art Exhibition! This was my first time entering the open and so I was very chuffed that they picked one of my works.

The exhibition runs from 12th November 2011 – 8th January 2012 at the New Walk Museum & Art Gallery, Leicester. All details can be found here: http://www.leicester.gov.uk/open23/

The buffet and free wine were also a highlight!

Open for Business: Talent House East Midlands!

The nice people at Talent House East Midlands (THEM for short) a fresh & creative art & design boutique based in St. Martins Square Shopping Centre, in Leicester city centre, now sell some of my screen prints!
(Managing Directors Stephanie and Elizabeth)
‘’THEM’’ provides a platform for emerging artists and designers from throughout the Midlands to showcase and sell their work. As graduates Stephanie and Elizabeth appreciate that it can be very difficult to become established within the art and design industries, and there are little, to no outlets in Leicester that purely provide support for this. Their aim is to help emerging creatives to gain a market within their chosen field.
They also hope to engage with the general public, and offer cutting edge design and affordable contemporary artwork that would not usually be found on a ‘regular’ high street.

Sympathy for the Devil

The third in my series of musical prints is of my all time favourite guitarists, he’s probably not the most technically gifted out there but he’s created some of the best well known rock riffs ever! Not to mention he’s a legend in his own lifetime!

The Needle and the Damage Done

This is the second of a series of prints based on some of my favourite musicians. Although when I first heard one of his songs I had to switch the radio off, the sound of his voice just put me off! But then a few years later I heard The Needle and the Damage Done which remains one of my favourite Neil Young songs to this date and was instantly hooked! I now have his entire back catalogue (I think) and was very fortunate to see him play live when he came to the U.K in 2009.

When the Man comes around

I was late in discovering Johnny Cash and have to admit in being a bit dismissive whenever any of my friends previously recommended him. Then I heard his cover of Hurt a song originally by the Nine Inch nails and immediately loved it and went on to listening to his entire American Recordings albums. So here is my tribute to one of musics greats.

Fascinating!?

Ok so this one may be a bit more risque than my usual work but it’s still in the best possible taste ;-) Inspired by the stencil works of Banksy and based on a canvas piece I did a while a go now available as a limited run of screen prints.

Great Scott!!

It’s hard to believe that it’s over 26 years since Back to the Future was released!!! I remember vividly my friends talking about seeing it during a break time at school when I was about 12 (god I feel old!) at the time I had no idea what they were talking about, but then went to see it that weekend and was blown away. I soo wanted a DeLorean and wish I had the co-ordination! to skateboard too!

So here is my tribute to a great film trilogy, enjoy!

Retro Active Festival

Hi all,

Well it’s been a while since my last update but rest assured I’ve been busy working on a load of new prints which I’m really excited about, so keep checking back!

This Saturday I had my first solo trade stall selling my wares at the Retro Active games and film festival at Leicester’s Phoenix Square cinema, billed as “the only classic video game and movie expo in the UK”.

It was 12 hours of classic 80’s movies on the big screen including the Goonies and Big Trouble in Little China, which I really wanted to see, but I had to stay and man the stall :-( There were also 4 decades of video games with over 50 systems running at once, gaming tournaments running all day, I did manage to sneak off for a bit of gaming action though! And will definitely be doing it again next year!

I’ll be looking into producing some retro game prints at some point in the future, so if you have any games in mind that you would like to see as a print, drop us a line!

The exhibition runs from 28th July to the 23rd of August before moving on to the Bearspace gallery. All details can be found here:

Me posing next to my time print! They also picked my ‘Reason’ and ‘Vader goes postal’ prints.

No man goes before his time…

A classic quote from the late great Grouch Marx. This is my first attempt at a traditional letterpress print since I left art college. I’d forgotten how time consuming it is, especially if your dyslexic! But there’s no beating the look that you get from it.
