Maitreya Social

Only a few weeks left! I have had a selection of my work hanging in the lovely Maitreya Social in Bristol for the past few months, so if you were lucky enough to sample some of the fine, fine food, you would also have had a treat for the eyes as well. All good things must come to an end though and the work comes down at the end of this month. Fear not though, the exceptional cooking continues! Check out their website.

We're back....

Back in the shop after being thoroughly sold out are the new editions of the two wrestlers. Looking even more fearsome and wonderful than before! Order soon to catch the Christmas post as they will not be around for long. Available here.

Oh look. A book.

I have been lucky enough to be included in a smashing new publication compiled by the lovely Caspar Williamsom entitled Reinventing Screenprinting. The idea behind the book is to highlight practitioners from around the world who are using screenprinting, letterpress and other hands on processes to create artworks rather than just clicking the print button on the computer. Over the moon to have a double page featuring The Dead Wrestler, Rocket X and the fire and police cars. Published by A&C Black and available from all good bookshops, it looks great on all coffee tables!

A perfect re-match.

The sold out 'Perfect Match' screenprint is now back as a new edition of 3o in fresh new colours over at Klectar. Available for a limited time only, best you get over there quick style so not to disappoint your loved one this Christmas!

What I have been doing #2

It's always a bit strange to be asked to create a series of Christmas cards in the height of summer, but when the people asking are the lovely folks at Hello!Lucky, I was more than happy to get my festive head on. They were also keen for me to create a few more stamp themed designs, so my three cards carry a red cardinal, snowy owl and an arctic fox to get you in a wintery mood. I have also done a little Q&A over on their blog if you would like to delve a bit deeper into my mind!

What I have been doing #1

Some days start like any other day. You get up, bleary eyed, shower, have breakfast and drag your tired body into another tedious day of paper pushing and number crunching. Other days, the lovely people over at Prema commission you to paint a metre high rocket! It's these days that makes me realise I have the best job in the world. It was a really fun project to work on and I am really happy with the results, and from what I hear, it has been getting good comments from people who have spotted it sitting outside Prema.

So, if there is anyone else out there who wants to commission me to paint a large rocket, it would really be no trouble at all!

Not Another Bill!

I was recently asked by Fiona of the lovely Soma Gallery here in Bristol to contribute a print for the Not Another Bill mail out she was curating. After a back breaking afternoon printing an edition of 200, this is what finally came out! It is a two colour print on cardboard, and editioned using an old, and very heavy perforated number punch machine. You can read more information over at Soma, and also about Not Another Bill. It is such a simple and brilliant idea, especially for a birthday or Christmas. Who wouldn't want a surprise package full of wonderment instead of a gas bill?
