Printfest

 Well this was my hanging plan laid out on my filthy kitchen floor the night before departing for Printfest,Cumbria.
 And this is the work the right way up and on the walls at Printfest.Took nearly 5 hours to hang and about 15 minutes to take down.
 Happy with how it looked though.Trouble with the drill at the start but then sorted it out.Back was crippling me all weekend but a steady flow of cake helped ( more of that later).

 Here s my stand with added people,once we were open for business.





shhhhhhhhh...

Oh no,just had a gin and tonic at work.Feel bit merry.Won t do it again....

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......

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.
