Loved creating this spread from my new book - Red Cat the firefighter. The design on the flaps features a smart little recess on three edges so the flap can be pulled open easily. Took a bit to get my head around but so nice : )

Alongside the day to day printmaking brings me a lot of joy… and when I can I get the inks out.
Currently I get digital art machined on to metal plates which I hand press.
I love the process, the smell and I like to vary the pressure to give some nuance to each print… a kinda ‘makers mark’
