Here are three new prints – a kind of variant edition of three monoprints from lino all on Misumi Japanese paper. Colours were all chosen simply on a gut instinct and through the process of colour mixing. They are each two colours printed over black with a texture detail added to the central areas. For […]
The Brook Gallery – https://twitter.com/BrookGallery threw down the gauntlet with their tweet “for all our artists out there, how about coming up with the equivalent ‘How to choose colours like an artist’!” making reference to http://interiorstylehunter.com/choose-colours-like-an-interior-designer/ so I thought I’d have a go….. First of all, there are no rules – and that’s the point. […]
The welcome sign for Fielding ward has been delivered and installed – so fits well in the space and links well with the other prints I made for the entrance corridor, quiet room and on the ward itself. It’s been great to be involved with Art for Life and to see an integrated project for […]
Last of nine drypoint images of Torbay locations for the Just Ask film which is nearing completion. The film, made by Josh Gaunt of Workshops ‘n Docs will document conversations with men in these nine locations throughout the area. We’ll hear men talking about suicide – their views, experiences and concerns shown against a backdrop […]

Making three sequences of monoprinted drawings for the “Just Ask” film Josh and I are working on. We will have filmed images from various Torbay locations with voices over talking about suicide and interspersed short animations of men embracing and handshakes. While making I was listening on Radio 2 to rapper Professor Green […]
Today in Double Elephant to print a sign for the newly developed and re-designed entrance on Fielding Ward at Musgrove Park hospital in Taunton. I rolled the green to blue background straight onto the paper (I’d intended to print a graded colour but couldn’t find a plate large enough) then made a photo screen from […]
Starting to make the drypoint images for locations in the Just Ask film I am making with Josh Gaunt (www.workshopsndocs.co.uk) – the project has changed over recent weeks because of the difficulty of recruiting men at risk of suicide into the participatory workshops. We have instead carried out a number of interviews with men at […]
A chance to use printmaking to generate ideas for playground designs. Working with Somerset Art Works and Taunton Academy I ran a print workshop with a group of year 9 students. We visited the park, made drawings and turned these into collagraph prints. Based on their designs we painted a series of motifs on the […]
