new goccos ahoy !!!!!!


So I dusted down my wondermachine,the gocco printer,and produced this range of 4 prints .I managed atleast 55 of each design before i ran out of paper.They re available for an impressively £15 each (unframed) and £55 for all 4.Soon to be available on Etsy once i pull my socks up and get organised otherwise contact me directly !Each one is signed by me and likely to have a bit of cat hair somewhere on it as Hilary ( our black cat who features quite heavily in my work )was lurking near by.I beavered away to get 4 framed up and on the wall at Fig and pretty pleased with how they look hung together.
Just about to start working on my ABC of prints -a for arctic fox wearing socks is first to be printed;and quite excited about c but you ll just have to wait won t you.
I also realised i failed miserably on the blogging- every- day -challenge.Goddammit.

My little print is lying in the bowels of the Royal Academy now.Despite some last minute barcode shinnanigans.Haven t got a chance in hell but you ve got to be in it to win it apparently ...

Travels oop north


It s amazing what you can find on some of Britains finest beaches.Here s a few Anthony Gormley s ; what i believe is called Another Place.Crosby.
I expect no other quick witted wag has dressed them up.

Elbow (not the tennis type ,the singing type)

Followers-apologies to all 39 of you.
I have been a terrible blogger.
I have been doing an exciting job that i can t really talk about as it may be something or nothing (so very cloak and dagger) but all will be revealed soon.....
Off to see Elbow tonight in Cardiff;it s so long since i ve been to what s known as a "gig" that i m not sure how you re supposed to behave.Needless to say i m wearing comfortable shoes and packed some sandwiches.Rock and roll.
