Julias Studio

Ive managed to persuade the printmaker Julia Manning to take me on as a apprentice this Easter. We've been working through some amazing 5 or 6 layered colour woodblocks, they are so complicated and so eye opening! Today we were mixing up oils and grinding pigments ourselves and I'm learning tricks with registration and editioning. Next week im going with her to the London Original Print fair, she's exhibiting there along with the rest of the best in printmaking, im so excited!

Anna Pugh and Emily smith Polybank

Some cards i brought in Somerset resently, really inspiring little chickens, Anna Pugh did the top one and Emily smith Polybank did the linocut, i really like her work, here are some more...

Chicken Drypoint etching

Theo came back from Madrid with a really beautiful drypoint etching of a wild garden. It inspired me to try it out. It's really hard work scratching into the surface of the plate but i think its worth it, i love how the lines are thick and black like charcoal. This is an old plate that i found in the scrap pile so thats what the writting on the side is about, i enjoy reusing old plates that have been scratched up and bashed about, it gives them abit more texture.

Screen Printed Chickens.

Ive finally learnt how to screen print.

The fiddler.

Ive never really liked water coloured etching's .

Two etching plates.

Two etching plates, the man is a fiddler from gadja dilo and the woman from a modern travler article. They are both the same size, made on steel. Id like to slowly build up a few more similar characters, to sit along side each other in a series.

An Etching of a Chicken

I made this at the Princes Drawing school, they have free etching classes on a monday night and on the first session you get a free copper plate. It was really nice to explore a new studio and they have an aquatint gun which makes aquatint so much more simple!

Wood Engraving

Genius over here.

Kiki Smith Etchings

Beautiful etchings from Kiki Smith, everything she creates never ceases to impress me. i love these for their delicacy and technical skill. She is one of my favorite artists by far, an amazing inspiration!

I found these of Harlan&Weaver press, a studio in america with lots of other brilliant artists on their books including louise bourgeois.

Shop Project.

Thinking about our up and coming shop project a lot recently.. about what i want to do and who i might work with well. Its a daunting task.

the idea of pop up shops sounds really exciting to me, like those pop up gallery's that were sweeping london last year. Also thinking about merchandising and those aspects of our practice. the constant reminding that we must be commercial. Looking at yellow owl for there beautiful print products and particularly like these papers, envelopes and pens they've created as little sets, really nice.

Perhaps an idea would be to look at the royal mail and the loss of letter writing in the modern day and maybe get people to write out letters or draw pictures to send their friends during the exhibition with dressed up postmen walking around the room... maybe its not that original but it could make for a fun interactive environment. rambling.
