Screenprinting Nick Drake posters for Hyde Park Picture House Leeds

Wed, 15 May 2013 17:58:17 +0100

This week I’ve been screen printing some limited edition prints to sell on the 16th June @ Hyde Park Picture House Leeds.

I ended up printing the image in a very pale washed out blue and comparing it to the original image found it wasn’t quite dark enough, instead I tried using a dark blue/black and found that it was too dark! perhaps a two colour print would have worked best using both black and blue and changing the contrast.

I’m not a screen printing pro unlike many of the textile students @ Leeds College of Art where I was printing, they definitely know what they’re doing! it’s a really exciting process but it’s definitely about getting the technique down.

Hope to see some faces at the picture house! I’m selling the prints for £6 on the door.

Trip to Iceland

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:22:00 +0100

I got back from a trip to Iceland a few weeks ago, as well as the amazing scenery there was an amazing community of independent designers and makers there, it’s great to see even through the economic crash that there are people still making and producing amazing handmade products.

Mark Hearld 'Birds & Beasts' YSP

Sat, 17 Nov 2012 10:22:50 +0000

I went to Mark Hearlds opening show at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park last night, and as well as seeing his super collage/printmaking skills he’s also created some beautiful ceramic hares, originally created from a chocolate mould found in a Berlin flea market. Afterwards we celebrated with some YSP chips and a pint in the local pub.

Drawing some perky elves @ Saviour Coffee

Sat, 17 Nov 2012 10:07:19 +0000

Last week I was invited to draw some elves for The Perky Peacock on Gillygate (which happens to sell the best darn coffee and cake in York)

If your ever around in York stop by, have a super latte and a chat and get your photo taken as an elf. An all-round perfect start to the day.

Wuthering Heights plate

Wishing a little that I hadn’t started working on the theme of ‘Wuthering Heights’ haven’t managed to master drawing a miserable face as of yet, with a little longer working in retail I should be a pro.
