On this beautifully crisp and frosty Welsh morning I had the pleasant surprise of the equally beautiful Ernest No.2 arriving with the post. A journal encompassing wild food, slow adventure, workmanship and curious histories it truly is one of the most handsomely put together publications out there. Which means I am over the moon to have my fish school chart print featured amongst its sublime pages. Order your copy <a href="http://www.ernestjournal.co.uk/store/" target="_blank">here</a>.

With only a few days until I had to travel up to Yorkshire Sculpture Park and deliver my 'Wild Collection' show I finally got around to realising an idea that was bubbling away for ages. And it damn near killed me! A simple idea a producing a marquetry leaf beetle from painted wooden sheets glued onto plywood, with a finally lustre of varnish on top. Thankfully I was really pleased with the outcome, and as it is now sold, it clearly tickled another persons fancy as well. I think more of this style of work will be in the pipeline, just maybe with less of a deadline on my shoulders next time. Only a week to go before I travel back up to Yorkshire Sculpture Park and collect what is left of my solo show from the Garden Gallery. To get a peek of this giant marquetry bug, hurry on down before it's too <a href="http://www.ysp.co.uk/exhibitions/tom-frost-the-wild-collection" target="_blank">late</a>.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09627871868185443614noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102781989663177542.post-90996652239255504062014-08-22T15:31:00.001+01:002014-08-22T15:31:49.717+01:00The Wooden Collection<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A selection of the wooden toys I produced for my solo show at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Wind up bullfinch, bluetit and unknown bird along with a pull-along mallard, grebe and wigeon. All hand screen printed plywood with old clockwork keys, tin meccano wheels and old rubber triang wheels. The show is only on for a few more weeks and as most have been sold already it may be your last chance to take a peek at them all together.

Here are the six new school chart style screen prints I recently completed for my solo show at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. These were really fun to create and I was extremely pleased with how they turned out. I had been having some major problems with my exposure unit whilst printing these, so they became a real labour of love, but really glad I stuck with it. All hand printed on a full sheet of sumptuous Fabriano Rosapina paper (50x70cms) and available exclusively over at the YSP <a href="http://www.ysp.co.uk/shop/product/tom-frost-school-charts-screen-print" target="_blank">shop</a>.</div>

I have spent the last six months working towards my first major solo show and I am still pinching myself at being asked to exhibit at Yorkshire Sculpture Park over the summer.

Happy New Year everyone. Taken a while to get back to the blog, but I am here now. Hope you all had a nice Christmas break. I spent most of mine staring at the scene above with a belly full of food and a glass full of port/gin/brandy/beer/wine. And very nice it was to. This year is already looking mighty busy, so with squeegee in hand I plough forward, but maybe just one more sloe gin first!Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09627871868185443614noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102781989663177542.post-54310308249082239512012-10-17T12:07:00.000+01:002012-10-17T12:07:20.099+01:00Working Together<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have recently completed a new screen print for <a href="http://www.millco.co.uk/">Mill Co</a>. in London. It was the Mill Co. Third Annual Exhibition in partnership with The Co-operative and as such the brief was 'co-operation'. Above is my take on this brief, and I am rather happy with the result considering my studio set up at the moment. I have shown you a little glimpse of my work space in the second picture, but what this doesn't show is the few inches of floor space I have to work in! Time for a sort out I think. The print should be for sale very soon over at the Mill Co. <a href="http://www.millcostore.co.uk/">store</a>.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09627871868185443614noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102781989663177542.post-44357064044226653592012-10-08T12:21:00.001+01:002012-10-08T12:23:58.913+01:00Myth, Tradition and Folklore<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am very happy to be part of a lovely group show that is opening this Saturday at the Emma Mason Gallery in Eastbourne. It is a celebration of all things mythical, traditional and folklorish. I will be amongst some great artists including the wonderful Jonathan Gibbs and the super talented Alice Pattullo.

Another typically boring commission from the lovely people over at <a href="http://prema.org.uk/">Prema</a>. Can you make us a rocket shaped card rack? Oh, go on then, if I must. I cannot tell you how happy I am when people get in contact with a really fun project that you can get your teeth into. Happy days! It sits rather comfortably next to the <a href="http://theboyfrost.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/some-days-start-like-any-other-day.html">a board</a> I built for them a little while ago.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09627871868185443614noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102781989663177542.post-49328966601141762882012-09-10T12:51:00.001+01:002012-09-10T12:51:10.791+01:00Ticktockrobot<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="281" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/48733972?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=37697E" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="500"></iframe> <br />
Over the last few weeks I have been lucky enough to become part of the lovely <a href="http://www.ticktockrobot.co.uk/">Ticktockrobot</a> team, an animation company based down in sunny Brighton. Not only that but a really pleasant job came along even before the ink had dried on the contracts. We were asked to create a series of six stings that highlight the various areas and events that are happening during this years Goodwood Revival Festival. Above is the fruits of our labours.<br />
<br />
Not only a fun and satisfying job to work on, but hopefully the start of a beautiful relationship!Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09627871868185443614noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102781989663177542.post-29567361869838583162012-09-06T11:31:00.000+01:002012-09-06T14:50:36.664+01:00WAW to NY AAF<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These last few months have been hectic to say the least. Barely enough time to breathe with all the projects that have been flying around the studio, but finally the fruits of my labours are starting to emerge. Drove across to London yesterday to deliver a fresh new batch of big old match boxes to the lovely people at <a href="http://www.wills-art.com/home">Wills Art Warehouse</a>. They are being kind enough to take all my work to the Affordable Art Fair in New York and I am really excited to see how my work goes down across the pond.<br />

The circus is indeed on its way to the lovely town of Frome. I was kindly asked a while ago to produce some work based on the theme 'circus' as part of the open studios at this years <a href="http://www.fromefestival.co.uk/">Frome Festival</a>. Above is what popped out of my head including a fireworks box and a circus ticket.<br />

After an epic few days of printing, no sleep, a 5am coach and then standing up for 10 hours trying to sell my wares, ELCAF 2012 is done and dusted. Just as the doors were about to open, Al from Nobrow was worried that nobody would turn up to this inaugural event. Then over 3000 people decided to turn up, and the room was completely packed from 10am until 8pm. It was lovely to be part of such a great day and meet so many nice people. Heres to many more to come.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09627871868185443614noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102781989663177542.post-71628610616389694632012-05-11T10:38:00.000+01:002012-05-11T10:40:10.931+01:00ELCAF<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I feel very lucky to be taking part in the first East London Comic and Arts Festival (ELCAF) hosted by the wonderful folk at Nobrow. Taking place on June 17th at an amazing looking venue, The Village Underground, Shoreditch. This being a curated event there will be some amazing names taking part from a wide selection of disciplines, and me! McBess (creator of the poster you see above) will be the artist in residence, there will be a talk by the incredible Blexbolex, a whole host of comics, books, artworks, goodies and products to fill your pockets with, and live music in the evening. Tis going to be pretty special. If you are around, come say hello!

Along side my screen printed efforts will be the genius of Bjorn Lie, the loveliness of Freya Cumming, the wit of Simon Tozer, the playfulness of Jane Ormes, the originality of Graham Carter and some guy called Sir Peter Blake. Not a bad role call!<br />

Well, there it is. The curtain has fallen on what has been my creative home for the past three years. The shop has shut and the studios are slowly being cleared out. It is with a heavy heart that I leave my HQ in the centre of Bristol, but bigger and better things await. It is strange to think that when I first joined the studios, I had only ever done one screen print in my life, and now I seem to be just about making a living from it. For that, I will forever be gratefully. Thank you Snap and all who have sailed in you, we shall miss you.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09627871868185443614noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102781989663177542.post-56387071870899534182012-04-16T11:41:00.003+01:002012-04-16T11:51:27.523+01:00The Hare<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TzsDrSsSDfI/T4v3g-YAViI/AAAAAAAAAp8/9LRqMKTiHP0/s1600/The%2BHare.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TzsDrSsSDfI/T4v3g-YAViI/AAAAAAAAAp8/9LRqMKTiHP0/s400/The%2BHare.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731947096630646306" /></a>The dirty old pub sign has been scrubbed, buffed, polished, painted and varnished into a new, gleaming swing sign for <a href="http://www.theharepub.co.uk/">The Hare</a> public house in Bedminster, Bristol.

It was one of those weeks where you need the screen printing to go smoothly as you have a deadline to meet, which basically means that everything goes wrong. This proved to be the case, with the exposure unit playing silly buggers, but I managed to print, frame, label and pack just in time, wrapping the final package as the delivery driver took it out of my hands! The fair runs from 15th - 18th in Battersea, with my work being exhibited with the lovely people at Wills Art Warehouse. All information is <a href="http://www.affordableartfair.com/battersea/visit/157/Times-&-Admission">here</a>.<div><br /></div><div>If you do get along to look at some lovely art, you will have a chance to see new, larger versions of my stamps. Puffin, fox, squirrel and owl so far, with the otter to join the gang next week.
