This fairly new print - Sir Phillip- inspired by the delicious Black Phillip from The Witch, is now up on my website. Very very happy with this one.

Cut a fresh new mount for this wee wood engraving that will be auctioned off later this year by Doves for Peace to raise funds for War Child. Very happy with it...not a tatty mess which I was half expecting.

My first event in Nottingham is done and dusted! It's knackering but oh so good to be engaging with people face to face without an algorithm getting in the way. It was amazing. Time to snooze...

Today layer #2 was rolled out and my new print is complete (after a little hand colouring too which you'll see in another post). Very happy with my little bat friend. Thinking I might so some smaller bat-focused prints.... probably.

Not managing to keep up with Bluesky very well after the initial push to get off Insta. In a bit of a creative drought so can't reveal any new stuff..... Here are a couple of lambies for your viewing pleasure instead.

The new sign for my stall is finished! It took a good few hours of careful brushwork and blurring eyesight but got there in the end! Now to get back to making prints....

It's #printpromptmonday and this week's theme is #foliage sooooo I'm sharing a bit of my The Yard print which has a nice bit of planty stuff going on. It's a print that celebrates derelict empty spaces and how nature reclaims those spaces. Life finds a way.....

It's #printpromptmonday ! This week the theme is #inprogress ....soo here is an 'in progress' cropped shot of my Mother Nature print which is most definitely not in progress anymore. It was a super complicated piece and took a good chunk of time to carve so there were lots of progress pics!

Printed my new engraving of the always intriguing green man with a few little creature folk thrown in.

Popped this ruined chapel after a good long walk with the whippo. Lots of gnarly old Yews, bird song and craggy stones. Ace.

It's #printpromptmonday ....yay! This week the theme is #water so here's my contribution which has a fair amount of the stuff. 'Under the Sea and Over the Stars' was inspired by a totally magical trip to Orkney last year. Can't wait to see what people post for the prompt this week 🤟👍
