A few of my small collection of handmade screen prints. I print these myself in limited runs. I don't have very many, but I've been wondering if it's something you'd be interested in if I did more.

Do you prefer to buy handmade, or is a digital print fine?

I know I've mentioned these cards a few times before, but just popping them on here again!

My Christmas cards came back from the printers with an uneven border 🙁

Bad news for me, but good news for you if you don't mind a bit of wonkiness - they're now available, with a big discount from my website.

I'm not a fan of Halloween at all. I much prefer the sentiment behind the Mexican, Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrated on the 1st & 2nd of November.

A personal piece, playing with pattern and shapes...

Maybe a bit early to break out the Baileys, but it's definitely a hot chocolate kind of day here! ☕

A fresh delivery of postcards has just arrived.
Mostly old favourites, but a few new additions added.
Not for sale, these are freebies I usually pop in every order 🙂

After spending time concentrating on my print shop and experimenting with new/old media, I'm keen to get stuck into some illustration projects again.

To ease myself in, I've been putting mock ups together of existing work. I'm really pleased how this one has turned out.

I'm having an impromptu sale of old stock on my instagram stories this afternoon. Some are seconds, some old designs, others just printed on different paper. Most of these will be priced just to cover p&p and admin.

Sale starts at 1pm

Another of my gouache experiments. Again, not great. It's so unforgiving and tricky. Nevertheless I'm really enjoying doing these. Its lovely to be creating something away from a screen for a change 🙂

That's the last of the little blue tit cards flying the nest.

I have a few other birds still available in this A6 size, before stock gets replaced with a new style.

Painting no.2
This was much easier with new brushes, and I'm starting to gauge the necessary consistency better. A long way to go, but I can see improvement already 🙂
On to number 3...
