New printables, and soon to be, prints. Drawn in pen as separate ‘bits’, scanned into the computer, outlined in Photoshop, then filled with colour (like a cartoon) in Illustrator – in case you were wondering! Anyway, how this Summer should have been.

Manchester based Graphic Nothing has kindly included some of my prints in his new e-com project.

Some Prints also features work by Stanley Chow and Kate McLelland, with new artists being added weekly. Prints available from a super un-prints-ly [very poor pun] sum of £5. Interestingly, there are currently quite a few music/band themed prints currently on the site: Graphic Nothing’s ‘remixed’ record covers, Serge Gainbourg and some Smiths’ lyrics.

Clockwise from top left: Kate McLelland – ‘Maze of Sparrows’ (screenprint); Graphic Nothing – ‘Mona Lisa remix’ (giclee); Sally Boyle – ‘The Smiths Cross-stitched’ (giclee); Stan Chow – ‘Serge Gainsbourg‘ (giclee).

Just had a framed and mounted sample made of my current A5 size prints as I ‘m planning to offer both print options – framed and mounted or just the print on its own. The latter are currently only available as archival quality prints on watercolour textured paper from From the Wilde and – lo and behold! – they’re included in the site’s Summer Sale!  Peacocks, owls, fawns, fish, Hansel & Gretel, Red Riding Hood – its all there. For everything else that’s currently available in my Folksy and Etsy shops, including the matt silk versions of my prints (just to confuse matters) I’m giving £1 per sale to the DEC Pakistan Flood Appeal until the end of August.

Have just updated a couple of things on my Etsy and Folksy shops, including a new Red Riding Hood listing – with blonde hair!, and some photos of my new Spanish donkey Summer print.  Looking at them next to each other, I think I must be principally obsessed with the trees. That’s where the work seems to go into.

My Peacock prints are now available on a luxury textured watercolour style paper, crisply printed in fade resistant, archival inks. Am really happy with the results.  Available singly from From the Wilde. Available as as pair on Etsy and Folksy from this evening.

As I’ve been uploading this epic post (of some of my favourite bird designs online) I’ve been listening to the near constant football rattle of a couple of magpies outside. Touch ironic: they’re the only bird i DON’T like. they can’t sing, they can barely fly and they seem to spend most of their time harassing smaller birds and eating their young. talentless bully-boys…

Well, the header’s said it all really: there’s a one day 11% discount sale on Art and Accessories today on Dawanda, tenuously in celebration of the World Cup. Ha!  Relevence? Anyway, nothing to complain about. I’ve included my prints, in celebration of those who are NOT interested in the World Cup so far but will probably start getting into it by the semi-finals. Happens every time.

Super duper new peacock prints, available in dollars, pounds and euros

My first international illustration job – PRINT-ED! woo. I like my little owl. Am picking fault with my design already though: “could have done that differently”; “missed a bit there” etc. Nothing wrong with the production, however, (keep stroking the lovely matt silkiness of the covers) which, of course, was nothing to do with me :)

I’ve just uploaded my 2 new peacock prints to my Folksy, Etsy and  Dawanda shops.  The first image shows the actual print layout on the paper.  However,  I can modify the settings on request for different frame sizes. They can be bought separately, or as a pair. I’ll be taking some fotos, just as soon as I’ve bought a pair of matching A4 frames!
