As I’m dyslexic, I’m not much of a reader but I do enjoy listening to audio books and I have to say my favourites are the Discworld series by the late, great Sir Terry Pratchett and expertly narrated by Nigel Planer and Stephen Briggs.

So when I was comissioned by the Story Museum in Oxford to design a Discworld print for a special event I jumped at the chance. I hope you like it as much as enjoyed creating it.

Star Wars Rocks! (Again)

Ok, so it turns out my second new print of the year is also Star Wars related! Fans of the original trilogy will remember these weird musical characters from the New Hope episode IV. So here’s my take on what a Cantina Band tour poster might look like. Based on a previous digital print I did many years a go.

Kong Strikes Back!!

Ok, so here’s my first print of 2016 and surprise, surprise it’s Star Wars influenced

Originally I was going to use the Empire State Building as in the King Kong film, but on consideration I think the Crysler building is more beautiful. So I hope you enjoy my little Star Wars/King Kong mash up!

Thou Shall Not Pass!

So I thought it was time that I took a break from Science fiction and take a look at my other favourite genre Fantasy, and what example better than Lord of the Rings? I never read the books, as being dyslexic I’m not much of a reader but thanks to Peter Jackson I now don’t have too. There’s also a little nod to The Beatles in there too!

Disguise!

I got the idea for this one while I was working on the the Google ‘Those Droids’ screen print, I particularly like R2 D2s afro

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.

Trouble finding droids?

Like most people, I don’t know where I’d be without Google, just as well it wasn’t available to the Empire

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.
