2 new pieces from the studio 20/4/2011, Currently have work showing at the London Print Fair with the Royal Academy, if you have the chance to visit I am on stall 30 with Eyestorm showing parassita and rose.
Bit of a gap in blog posts while I settled into the new space but it has been a good move for me. I’ve posted some of the recent work below and am currently working on a couple of new pieces in there. The studio is shared with 2 other artists Michelle Sweetman and Neil Benjamin, and it’s great to be back in a busy creative environment. I havea few shows coming up in the next week or so. An impromptu open hang in the Rag Factory, in the the apricot studio on the 14th April where I will be showing a few small ltd edition prints of various pieces – and also I have 2 new works in the Royal Academy Original Print Fair on the 19th 20th and 21st of April. My work will be appearing on the eyestorm stand and I will be along on the 19th April evening to see this show for the first time.
Below are a few images produced in the last couple of weeks at the new studio.. will post more soon.
Today, I’m gathering up all the odds and ends lying around the house to take into the new studio, so I’ll sadly leaving Mitre Studios in Walthamstow, a great studio space above the Paekakiriki press run by Matt Mackenzie, wish all the best to Alke, Della, Kirsten and Martin.
The new studio will give a chance to work on some larger ink drawings that I have been thinking about recently. 8 New pieces of paper stretched up and drying so looking forward to a week of submerging myself in the drawings in there.
In 2 days time the digital versions of Parassita and 5 other works will be presented at Art Paris courtesy of Saatchi online
The original work of Parassita is represented by Eyestorm who will also be showing my new print of Rose at the London Original Print Fair coming up in a few weeks in April.

Sketch for new piece of work
Just had an email from Saatchi Online to say that several pieces will be represented digitally at Art Paris later this month. I am happy to have reached the last 64 of this competition and voting is still open – The piece I have entered is Parassita, (soon to be available online through eyestorm) although I believe I am able to show a small selection of other work digitally too. Would be interesting to know how they intend to run a digital display at the show and how the work will translate to that format. Anybody going to the Art Paris exhibition?
I’m pleased to announce that 2 new original pieces are now available from Opus in Newcastle. The original works will soon be placed on display and accompanying these will be the sale of newly produced limited edition prints of Rose and The Harvest. The prints, produced by fine art printers Harwood King, are a combination of Silkscreen Varnish and Giclee techniques and are also available from the work for sale page on this site, thanks for looking.
