Here's a print I made in 2020 called Sea Holly House. It is a three colour screenprint.
This was made when I was doing lots of "constructions" of objects, trying to make them look like art installations. I balanced stuff and tied stuff together in my prints. Didn't print a lot of these constructions though but I did sketch a lot.
The first stuff I screen printed was onto linen (yes I don't know why I made things extra hard for myself). We made lampshades, cushions and tea towels.
And the first "range" I made (because I thought I had to make ranges) was called Cover Story. It was a design featuring trees, blowing leaves and a badger.
Here's a lampshade I printed in three colours as part of the Cover Story range.
This was my very first screenprint which I offered for sale. (I did do a gig poster before this but it was pretty much a printing disaster).
I made this 7 almost exactly years ago.
This is called Teasel and Hare. I used a technique I called "digital linocut" but it was not great. It is not my best work but shows a point in time where I was starting out. It was an edition of 22.
Here's another one of my recent prints, Mevagissey Harbour, a six colour screenprint which I started editioning earlier this year.
It is from a series of photographs I took of the harbour. I did not trace it from the photograph though but redrew it and interpreted it in my own way.
It features four colours and two transparent blacks. And lots of textures and natural media elements.
