Damn it! Looks like I survived the rapture 😅.

Got my prints to commemorate my failure to ascend up for preorder now - printed on an old Victorian bible, the first 6 prints are on the Book of Revelations & they’re flying out quicker than the born agains are getting sucked off.

There is only you,
I’ll never catch another,
But I’m fine with that.

Recently (finally) launched my own website after 18 months of having it on my to-do list - better late than never?

Got a shop there too with some new pieces, here is ‘Raksha’ - the first print in my Jungle Book series, and ‘Little Wing’ - on show in Crystal Palace.

Here’s a little sneak peek from the opening night of ‘Reflections in Nature’ - a little group show at The Paxton Centre in Crystal Palace.

My 4 pieces will be on show until the 28th March, so if you’re local please pop down and check them out.

Been working on all sorts lately:

1. #Biennale Submission piece: The Rook’s Nest.
2. Finally started putting ideas together for my #JungleBook series of prints!
3. Printing up some #ValentinesDay Anti-Valentine’s cards.

All go here - deadlines approaching - wish me luck!

#Art #Printmaking

A thick mist descends
We sail closer to the brink
Our fate is unseen

Had the pleasure of visiting the ‘Drawing the Italian #Renaissance’ exhibition at The King’s Gallery (not my king) - the drawing on display was fantastic and I’ve come away feeling very #inspired!

Love the boldness and confidence of the lines - instantly had to do some #drawing for a new project.

I fear we grow small,
This community of ours,
But we can rebuild.

I’m really enjoying experimenting with writing again - it makes a nice change to making prints and thinking visually - good to have some balance!

Whoop whoop! Just got accepted into a little #printmaking festival! Will post the full details as/when they’re available.

‘Autumn in Hong Kong’

This #linoprint was inspired by a recent trip back to my home town, after 20 years away. The cheeky little sparrows I remembered were still everywhere, providing a little nature & tranquility in the hustle & bustle of the city.

I got home late from the hockey last night in the pissing rain, went to bed cold & damp, & had the most vivid dreams, so this morning I wrote another poem trying to capture them.

Any feedback on the poem is greatly appreciated - helps me keep learning.

Ok, let’s try build a presence here too - may be a little cross posting so apologies if you follow me on 🧵.

Jan update: did a test print of a new project, got confirmation that 3 of my pieces have been incorporated into a permanent collection in 🇪🇸, & shared my first #poem with you all.

I had the absolute joy recently of travelling to Santander 🇪🇸 to visit an exhibition at the Faro Cabo Mayor Art Centre, where 3 of my prints are on show (bottom right).

Truly honoured to be included, & humbled to feature alongside so many incredible artists. Let’s do that again!
