Project Poundshop

A new project called The Poundshop is a 'pop up shop' that will be open for five days scheduled for 1st - 5th April in the nice London location that is Hoxton Street.

The Poundshop team have approved a recycled, budget design of mine that will sell for a pound. A series of 'Post cards' or card that was formally part of a cardboard box or hard backed envelope etc will be hand printed with a series of one off illustrations for the event.

'Blackwood' Tree prints

I have created a new range of 6 black tree, giclee prints entitled 'Blackwood'. They feature the more abstract and seasonal subjects that took me from the Somerset Levels to the edge of woods in Dorset.

'Winter Thicket' and 'Ravens Seat are just two names attributed to these series of images that have a bleak and haunting beauty. Black helps emphasise the silhouettes so well.

Colour varieties are planned and several titles are available as large screen prints and in all digital A sizes as an edition of 50. A4 prints are £40.00.


Quiche, cake and art


The Good Earth in Wells, Somerset invited me to hang sixteen framed editions of my Tree print series at the end of last month.

It is a seductive veggie and vegan enclave at the heart of me favourite county, as well as being a chilled out antidote to the stress of modern living with its relaxed café, and adjoining food store and interiors shop.

The show is due to last on into the middle of the year.

'Love Birds' private view

The pink champagne flowed and love was in the air at the successful private viewing of 'Love Birds' valenetine print show at Snap Studio, Bristol.

All eight resident artists had printed and contributed work on the single theme to the show which lasts until early May. My showcase as guest artist was given space on the shop floor and all worked very well together.

Field Notes





I've just completed hand printing four individual screen printed notebooks. Each bound A6 notebook is ruled and features a different rural image. They were printed at Snap studio and gallery in Bristol using System 3 inks and medium.

The books are available as a set of four or individually, both bound by a brown paper band.

Get your boots on and take notes!

The Big Chill strikes in Kent

Snow lay all about, deep, crisp and even - delayed trains, closed schools and kept people in doors. However the big chill today has given us here in the Garden of England a winter wonderland, a festive fast track and a good excuse to get out there and take it all in.

A merry Christmas and a happy new year to all followers and fellow bloggers. Here's to more of the same for 2010 and don't forget to feed your garden birds as they need you in cold times like these!
