Roll up again.

Back by popular demand! Since doing the postcard to advertise our gallery over here at Snap, a few people dropped some hints that it may make a nice print. I agreed with them, so here it is! 
It has gone from being postcard sized to a fully grown A4 print in five eye catching colours.

Eyes down, look in...


Spent a few relaxing days away last week, but it is always nice to come back and have ideas already on the table and ready to print. This first new offering came about from always looking at my small but perfect formed collection of vintage Bingo cards. A piece of nicely aged vintage paper has been used for the card itself and then a two colour print over the top onto a textured Arboreta paper. The icing on the Bingo cake comes from a vintage Lotto token. House!

Mini Print

Ooooh, aaaah, wow wee! Fireworks! This is my mini print that I am just about to go downstairs and screen print for this years Snap mini print exhibition. Should be a damn fine selection of top illustrators, artists and print makers all squeezed onto 21 of your square centimeters. Find out more here, or if you are free from 6pm on the 8th July come along for a damn good time.

This is ground control to Major Tom (Frost)

A few weekends ago I undertook my first workshop teaching kids how to make some toys. It was for the lovely people over at Prema, and was entitled 'Rockets and Rayguns'. In the build up to the workshop, it dawned on me that I had never actually made a rocket or a ray gun, so with a bit more laser cutting and screen printing I came up with these little men in their flying machines.

They stand 14 inches tall and come in fully fueled at £125. Which is a damn site cheaper than what NASA will quote you!

Come in, we are open....

Just finished putting the last coat of varnish on the spanking new sign for Snap. Spent a weekend hand painting this little beauty, so hopefully it will have the desired effect of catching peoples eyes from far away and pulling them in the direction of the shop.
 
I really enjoyed doing this project and I am looking forward to seeing it weather and take on some character as we grow old together! There are even some raised little elements on the sign which I think is the cherry on the cake.

Getting you home smoothly.....

Another new print fresh off the production line. Printed these up on heavy Arboreta blotting paper which sounds strange but worked out really well! Tis a 4 colour print in an edition of 20.
As the man in the car says......quality!

Two become four.

Two new gleaming cars have just rolled off the production line. Just in time for my exhibition for the lovely people over at Prema we have an eye catching fire department vehicle and an all sirens blazzing ambulance. That a whole lot of horse power right there!

The complete line up including the police wagon and the sporty little number all fresh from the carwash awaiting new owners!
