Show and Tell, a Pop Up Shop

Show and Tell was a pop-up shop at St Peters Hall, in Bournemouth. This is my work displayed above. It was a disused night club transformed beautifully with a range of art from prints, photography and paintings to jewelry, cakes and soap, alongside some lovely music from live bands. It was great to exhibit in the town where so much of my inspiration has come from and so much of my work has been produced.

BRINK

Hanging my prints in the Truman Brewery last week. Six original A1 prints of mine were exhibited alongside fellow illustrators from The Arts University College Bournemouth. The exhibition was a great success and will set the standards of what's to come in the future from me. To buy prints, original or limited edition, please email me.

CD cover design and poster

This is a CD cover I produced for a couple of tunes by Parov Stelar to go alongside the A1 monoprints I made in response to the songs. The print alongside it folds up to fit inside the CD case, designed to be a pull out poster.

As predominantly a printmaker it has been refreshing to work on a pencil drawing again, that isn't just an energetic sketch or prior idea for a print, but a detailed study of a turtle. Keeping all the skills in check.

Heres one design I have been working on to go on a greetings card.  I'm working on a whole selection so this will form the basis of a set of maybe five designs that can be sold together as a pack.
