Cow Christmas

Posted 22 November 20242 comments

I've completed my final artwork for the wonderful Garden Folk, their fourth seasonal event Cow Christmas will be complete with pantomime.

Purple Patch (where the Garden Folk live) is such a great space in Bristol, it's well worth a visit.

This is happening on Saturday!

And yes that is my work on the poster, what a darned privilege.

Garden Folk is a wonderful enterprise run by great people. Head to their website and buy their greeting cards to support the cause if you can't make it.

Well would you look at that!?

My floral print is available on Anthropologie And would you look at how beautifully they've done it!? They won't be available forever I'm afraid, so go get one of you like it.

Leaf Printing

Posted 7 October 20240 comments

I was having a very bad day the other day, we don't need to go into the reason but I was a mixture of massively furious and deeply sad. Do you know those days? On those kind of days I get into bed and my jaw aches from the tension.

I've been working on a commission for Dulwich picture Gallery (not the cause of any anger or sadness), I had an hour in the studio and I needed to do some leaf printing.

Leaf Printing, imagine; such an enjoyably childish thing to have on ones to-do list, and yet I was managing to feel stressed about it. Ridiculous.

I used a kids rubber roller and some waterbased Lino printing ink. It was incredibly easy and, I have to tell you . . . the most satisfying thing I have ever done.

All my anxiety melted away.

I was putting the sprigs between two sheets of paper and then adding an extra on top and using the roller to squash them down

Which meant I also got these fun extra prints. It was just so dreamy

All my anger melted away instantly, it was perfect.

10/10 would recommend.
