I have finally done something! Started cutting out the paper cuts, painting them black and glueing them down onto polyester.

Printed in 2021, this Majestic Fox at Twilight was part of a set of majestic animals drawn to look like travel posters. It is almost sold out, only four left!

Here's something else I made...a coastal scene in laser cut poplar which I hand printed. Five colours.

I don't know if I'm going to make more than the initial run but it was great fun to do!

Corner of the Shed, printed last year.

An eight colour screenprint featuring a lot of pencil shading!

"science with synthesizers"
New linocut on 40x40cm plate.

Composition inspired by the modular synthesizers and the eponymous piece of music from Solvent.
it’s a visual created many years ago that I had done in negative during my debut in linocut of a little messy way.
I do it now in a larger format with better control of my hand.

Last year I made my first positives by hand for this print, Upturned Boats, by cutting paper, painting it black and glueing it onto transparent sheets of polyester. I also drew in pencil and pen and made black brush strokes with an old brush.

Here's one of my favourite prints from a few years ago, Between Tides. It's based on Mousehole harbour wall.

It's a five colour screenprint, all hand printed by me. Here's a link to a video of me printing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gtT5mnCi_I

My first Mevagissey print, made seven years ago! Now sold out.

This was my first coastal linocut.

As well as receiving the subscription print, Tier 2 subscribers will receive a Rooftops of St Ives slight second. (While stocks last, I have about eight of them).

I haven't decided yet what my next subscription print will be but it might be some kind of architecture or an interesting old fence.

Some of my Running Hare prints are on their way to the lovely Saltbox Gallery in Yorkshire.

Yes, some of my open edition prints are available wholesale.

Four years ago I made this Boat House print. Four years! It doesn't feel like it.

With these coastal paths prints I started to explore texture and using scraped ink (which you can see in the cliffs).

Delighted to have just sold one of my Harbour Walls screen prints.

It is a twelve colour print with transparent and solid layers overprinted. It is also quite large!

Exactly a year ago I completed these three Leaping Animal prints including stags, foxes and hares.

They are each two colour screenprints.

So here's another big print of mine which I finished editioning just before Christmas, it's of Mevagissey Harbour.

It is a six colour screenprint.

So here's another print I did of somewhere in Cornwall, this is Coverack.

It is a two colour linocut and was one of my most successful prints.

Definitely inspired by the amazing work of Bryan Angus.

Here's the finished St. Ives print. I actually got a few good ones!

I need to work out if I need to print any more.

Well this layer went a lot, lot better, but I have so many bad ones from the light grey layer.

Anyway here is a good one!

Two layers to go.

here is another on the series:

Third colour down. Hard going! Having to press hard.

Next colour is the hardest and then it gets easier.
