For the past couple of years I’ve donated some of my prints to a charity auction at the Hal-Con in Nova Scotia Canada. Last year Harry Kim (Garrett Wang) from Star Trek Voyager was the guest auctioneer and when I was told he’s be doing it again I suggested that I did a special limited edition print that featured him. Apparently he really liked it and kept a copy for himself. Below is my copy that was sent back to me signed by Garrett himself!

Last weekend was my first big Comic Con. It was quite an experience, fantastic to see all the Cosplay people as well as the 501st but I think the highlight for me was meeting two of the actors from ‘Allo ‘Allo, very fond memories of watching it as a child.

Yesterday I had a table at Stokes very first comic con! It was a great first event, lots of people came and it was great!
My highlight would have to be meeting James Cosmo (Jeor Mormont) and Josef Altin (Pypar) from Game of Thrones my favourite TV show at the moment. I had a chance to chat over a coffee with Josef before the event and I can genuinely say he was a very nice chap, I’m sure Mr Cosmo is also a very nice guy but I didn’t really get to talk to him as he was on his way to a question panel.
Chilin’ with Josef Altin
The great James Cosmo

Hey, well still no new print designs to show you but hey I’ve got some nifty ceramic mugs made with some of my classic sci-fi print designs. Perfect for the geek in your life.
Based on a previous design, the inspiration for this print comes from one of my favourite TV shows at the moment ‘Breaking Bad’ for those who haven’t seen it I highly recommend you give it a try! Saul Goodman is VERY unethical lawyer, but very good at helping his criminal clients off the hook, plus he’s very funny too!
This 2 colour hand pulled screen print measures 42cm x 59cm (approx) and is printed on 250gsm Annigoni acid free art stock. Each print is signed & numbered and is strictly limited to an edition of 250 so once they’re gone they’re gone.

Yesterday I was back in the Leicester Print Workshop after a long absence. I especially made the trip in to see Gemma Wright as she was giving a demo on a couple of new screen printing products that I hope to use in some future work.
I also found out that Gemma is leaving the workshop next month to pastures new. It was the ‘Introduction to Screen Printing’ course that was run by Gemma, where I first learnt how to screen print and got hooked, she taught me pretty much everything I know about screen printing! So I would just like to say a big thank you for her advice and help and wish her the very best in her new job! I know she’ll be greatly missed.

Last weekend I took part in the third annual Loughborough Art Trail. It was a fab weekend with good weather and a great turn out, so would just like to say a big thanks to everyone that came, and especially to those that parted with their hard earned cash and bought one of my screen prints! Also a big thank you to Janet for letting me display my work in her lovely home and for all the tea and cake!

Hi All, last weekend was my first time exhibiting and selling at the Clarendon Park Summer Fair on Queens Road in Leicester. It was a great day and brilliantly organised.

For those that don’t know The Eels are a Californian alternative rock band, formed by singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, better known as “E”. I’ve been a huge fan ever since their first album was released around the time I was doing my A’ levels and being a teen I was prone to listening to music that could be described as melancholy but some of their stuff is actually quite joyful and upbeat!
This 2 colour hand pulled screen print measures 50cm x 70cm (approx) and is printed on 270gsm acid free art stock. Each print is signed & numbered and is strictly limited to an edition of only 100 so as always once they’re gone they’re gone!
