Printfest 2012

Hello poor, yet again, abandoned followers.I am currently at the almighty Printfest in Ulverston,Cumbria.A fabulous event only slightly marred by the fact i have a terrible bad back and am in pain.Imagine the look on the face of the girl in the Costa coffee motorway service station when i presented her with Mischief,my daughters monkey shaped hotwater bottle, to refill with hot water to ease the pain during the 4 hour drive to Southport.
Until i find my special gadget to transfer images from my phone to my laptop you will just have to imagine the glory of Printfest with it s amazing printmakers and cakes.Be patient my followers-all will be revealed tomorrow......

Bluebird-there s a surprise

Admittedly a rubbish phone photo but here s another new piece of work entitled Unimaginatively Titled Bluebird.A one colour print especially for the May Open at Spike Island.A marvellously affordable £45 unframed !

Folksy

I am now on Folksy!Minus a banner because that is beyond my IT skills but will be rectified soon !Take a peak-it looks suprisingly like my Etsy shop !

About time to...

Lovely abandonned followers.More grovelling apologies.I reel you in then let you down.I have got to get some discipline going with this blogging lark.New prints ahoy ! I m taking part in the marvellous print festival,Printfest,in the lake district during the May Bank Holiday weekend.I ve been working on new work for this event and i had in mind a sun;a lovely vintagey childrens book from the 1950s /1960s and this is the result.I love it.my kids think it s scary !
And then there s this one.15 headed for Eastbourne,1 headed for Westward Ho !Love Westward Ho ! (yes that exclamation mark is legal ).
And finally,Unblinking.I m doing a range of small prints all with an Un title and the range is cleverly titled Untitled.Get it ?I am such a wag.

messing about and loving it.

For months i ve been saying i just want to go to the print studio and just experiment.Print stuff that doesn t matter,mix up colours i don t usually use,have a cup of tea and a chat,just generally relax and enjoy it.I m loving it-my mind is going bonkers with ideas now which is good because i d had a couple of weeks thinking that my creativity was well and truly dried up( cue panic and wringing of hands) but it just seemed i needed to take a chill pill,as they say...
