earthly delights

if you're anywhere near minneapolis then you should probably do yourself a favour & visit light grey art lab; as well as it sounding like a pretty great place, they've got an exhibition on at the moment featuring a ridiculously good selection of artists & illustrators, including some of my favourites (somehow i snuck in there).

the garden of earthly delights is curated by ms tuesday bassen & mr pete gamlen. it just opened on friday & runs until 13 july. as someone who currently spends twelve hours a week commuting through the scottish countryside on a train, my piece (above) is inspired by about how much i'd prefer to be out in the forests and fields rather that headed towards an office at 70 miles per hour.

welcome

this drawing is three years old but the sentiment rings true once a year. oldie/goodie.

perpetual bicycle

new in the shop: perpetual bicycle notebooks, screen-printed & bound by yours truly. i like them so much i'm even keeping one for myself.

new ways of living (ii)

another piece from 'new ways of living' for the looking for trouble exhibition in nottingham.

titled keys, phone, wallet, the objects pictured are three items (cup, knife, compass) that would prove useful towards survival in the great outdoors, but come further down the line in terms of things that are considered necessary for every day life.

i'm in the middle of editing some photos i took of my screen-printing process - it's kind of difficult to be the one doing the printing whilst using the camera! anyway, the above is one of the better images i got. it's just as well i was only using black ink, as i am the worst at deciding on colours to use; ALL OF THEM is often a bad decision in hindsight.

the illustrated lady

after a day long screen-printing session yesterday (most productive day of 2012 so far!), i added this little print to the shop today. i think i mentioned in a previous post that my tattooed lady hallowe'en costume was the main inspiration for drawing this. each of the thirty prints in the edition is coloured by hand, meaning no two are alike.

summer 2013 is the summer of making things, apparently. i just added a couple of new things to the shop in the form of the pretty little tiger you'll see above, plus another new postcard set. i've also got a couple of other things up my sleeve. it's good to be busy.

moon face

if there had been an award for most impractical costume at the halloween party i went to, i'd undoubtably have won.
