'Print Club London'

This morning saw me getting technical over ink & discussing mesh counts with the lovely people that are 'Print Club London'.  Headed up by Kate, Fred and Rose, it's under their pioneering guise that I am one of seventeen artists invited to concoct an illustration representing a film from the bill for this years 'Film4 Summer Screen' event at Somerset House.
Receiving my title lead to a few days repetitive viewing of Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid.  Hardly a chore those Cowboy's antics kept me most amused, conjuring up many visual offerings.  After a process of elimination my chosen idea was delivered  to Print Clubs technical guru Marco today.  Exciting!

The Summer Screen exhibition will commence August 1st / Somerset House, West Wing Galleries.
All Prints will be available for purchase, each limited to an edition of 200 at a cost of £40.
Updated details nearer the time.

Bit arty'

This is John Newman.  He's great!  He has an incredible voice.  He has a single out July 1st.  Myself & Mat Maitland have created the artwork.  The snaps above show some of my silkscreened ideas en route to the finished print.  I got a little carried away mid-process & couldn't stop adding new colours.  "Bit arty" for a pop/ rock star I remember thinking but it's hard to stop when you're having fun.  The more stripped back, sophisticated sleeve can be seen here.  

"its nice that"

You can't beat a nifty write up (slash confidence boost) from those diligent & inspiring peeps at itsnicethat.. I don't know where they find the time, but boy i'm glad they do.  Single handedly they keep us up to scratch with the creative world & its meanderings.  It's a one stop shop, ; - )

'Easter studio view'

     Couldn't have put it better myself Lucy..

A few days away..

         My eyes are a little square, fingers ache from all the re-sizing but the end is in sight.. thankfully!

'Toby'

My nephew gave me a run for my money this week, after joining me at the studio for half term.  I'd barely planted the idea of creating some drawings and the possible screening of them on to a Tshirt sometime this week.. and a stack of sketches lay before me.  By the afternoon we'd coated our screen and today he paraded his wares around the building.  Not bad for thirteen and a half .. Nice one Tobes, ; - )
