I’ve been a big fan of the Black Crows since their first album Shake your Money Maker and have been fortunate to see them live a few times. I was gutted when they split, so this is my little tribute to a great rock band.

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.
I love my music especially live music and as a frequent gig goer I was noticing more and more people recording the gig on their phones. I must admit I don’t get it, surely it would be better to just stand/sit back and enjoy the experience? Oh well each to their own. So this is my little comment on one aspect of modern life.

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.

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!
Well at last, a new print design!! So if you’ve ever wondered how Cyber Men keep them selves all shiny? Well now you know!

Well were nearly a quarter through 2014 and I’ve only done one new print so far arrgh! I’ve got lots of ideas and a few designs are in various stages of completion. In the mean time here’s a new print based on a previously done a canvas piece I did a few years a go now available as a limited run of 50 screen prints.
I’ve been wanting to do a Big Bang Theory print for ages and I’ve finally come up with something that I think even Sheldon would like! The Big Bang Theory is pretty formulayic but I love it as it speaks to my inner geek! This particular quote is from the season 2 episode “The Lizard-Spock Expansion”. Bazzinga!

A print that’s inspired by two of my favourite things Kahlua and The Big Lebowski. For the few of you that don’t know the Dude is a character from the film ‘The Big Lebowski’ played by the great Jeff Bridges and I probably shouldn’t admit this but the Dude is a bit of a personal role model of mine I can often be found wearing my dressing gown and slippers during the day, as well as other traits!
So here is my tribute to a great film and character. Perfect for any home, it will really tie the room together man!

If you ever wanted to know where my inspiration comes from and my process, now you can! This video interview was my prize from Dusk 2 Dawn for one of my prints exhibited at the Open 24 2013 exhibition at New Walk Gallery in Leicester.
I’ve been wanting to do a screen print based on Harry Potter for sometime now, but I couldn’t think of an approach that was a bit different and unique. Then when I was doing some research for a completely different project I came across some images of old victorian advertising and was inspired. So here is my tribute to great series of books and films. Enjoy.

This is another print I did with the theme of Story telling in music. The Rolling Stones have always been a favourite band of mine and this is one of their classics. I think the quote is very apt especially in these days of austerity.

I did this print for an up-coming exhibition of prints with the theme of Story telling in music. High Fidelity is one of the few films I’ve seen that I’ve also read the book from which it was based and both are excellent! This is a quote from the book that has always stuck with me, as like most teenagers (and adults) I was prone to listening to music that could be described as melancholy when I was feeling feeling down, which I’m sure didn’t help!

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!

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 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

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!
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!

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.

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.
This three colour hand pulled screen print measures 42cm x 59cm (approx) and is printed on high quality acid free 315gsm Heritage art stock. Each print is signed & numbered and is strictly limited to an edition of 150.
