This new print, 'Fisherman Pete' is now available to order online. A very small edition of 16, and priced at £45 each.
Today I'm continuing to print the 'Firedbird' design. I've been experimenting with gold ink, trying to vary the tones with the addition of acrylic colours. And then, I'll be drawing the little centaur. The mythical creatures theme has got my imagination going. I saw some beautiful carved lions at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin last weekend, it would be wonderful to have a winged lion as part of the group. Better pull my finger out!
I've been working on this 'Firebird' drawing today. It's for an exhibition at 'Here' gallery in Bristol. They have kindly agreed to host the 'Girls Who Draw' and our Mythical Creatures show.
The show opens on February 9th- hope I get time to do a centaur before then as well!
Snow has visited Birmingham, and decided to stick around for a while. What a treat.
I know lots of folk find it bothersome, and inconvenient, but I love it. I love mucking around in it, watching it fall, looking at the shapes it forms, and watching how it affects everything it touches.
The last couple of days I have spent the mornings walking with Stan. Out to Highbury Park, and further to Holders' Wood. These Daphne (?) blossom looked beautiful with their icy covering.
It's been a quiet time since December. Christmas felt like being trampled by a herd of elephants, and I've been happy to potter in the studio and make plans for the coming year. There are a few prints in production, and several irons in the fire.
I even got the seed box out this morning. Sowing to commence on Saturday.
My lovely friend, the super talented lino-cut printmaker Jennie Ing, has just completed these two new editions of Birmingham landmarks.
There are two prints at present: The Rotunda, seen from Moor St. Station, and secondly Birmingham Town Hall, with Gormley's Iron Man in the foreground. And apparently there's a new one in the pipeline to be unveiled at the MAC 'Marketplace' contemporary craft event this weekend.
Trying to choose is so hard! I love them both, and I'm sure the third will be equally desirable. If you can't make it along to MAC on Saturday 15th or Sunday 16th, the prints will be available from the Jennie Ing website at £80 each. But get in fast, the edition is tiny (only 10 prints of each), and they're going fast!
Incidently, I'll also be showing at MAC this weekend too, a good opportunity for some Christmas shopping, without the pain of the city centre!
Just a quick heads up for my 'Achica' event which will be on November 28th. A whole load of my prints will be available with big discounts, but for one day only.
Log onto the site here: http://www.achica.com/userregistration.aspx you need to be a member to take part.
There will be limited numbers for each print on offer, so get in early to bag your selection!
Don't say I didn't warn you!
I went along to the First Cut Exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery this week. What a treat. The work was breathtaking, so innovative and skilled. One of the finest exhibitions I've seen for a while. Of course, I loved the massive piece by Rob Ryan.
This new pack of Christmas cards is now available to buy from my Not on the High Street page. A pack of five of these sparkly cards will cost you £3.99, which also includes a donation to The Lavender Trust, a charity which supports younger women who suffer from breast cancer.
I've lots more cards and goodies on Not on the High Street, all freshly uploaded this week.
