dalston market...


Here's a little piece I made after Checking out the local 'Ridley Road' market. I love Dalston! It was good to get back to my original ethos of working which incorporated analog and digital processes. This image started as an ink drawing then the scanner gobbled it up and the printer spat it out very faintly. I then painted on top of the faint drawing with watercolour and offered it up again to the scanner and printer and produced quite an interesting overprint effect. Next time I'm going to print it out a bit fainter then fingers crossed get less blurring. I like the lack of control the printer has, it never quite prints exactly in the same place. mmmm analog!

wonders in the wood...




A short while ago ago I spent the weekend with my very talented artist / musician friend oliver sutherland in Bristol. Oliver and I went on a small expedition to Leigh woods where we recorded a series of short songs and musical experiments in response to our surroundings. Here is a sleeve I have made for the cd which will hopefully be finished shortly.

The lovely Claire Oliver from 4Wall, Kenn Goodall illustrator extrordinaire and myself spent the last few weeks wrestling an exhibition into shape for the launch night. We also had the pleasure of working with some amazing illustrators and artists. Thanks to Cat Johnston, Erin Petson, Pomme Chan, and Claire Scully for your help and beautiful wall work!
