Prince Albert slipper for Ernest Journal

Here are the final illustrations for Ernest Journal's Timeless style section. This is on the history of the Prince Albert slipper. The slipper was at one time used as the chosen shoe for the Sultan's Harem, these women were often slaves made to ware them as it was too hard to run away in. The Pope also wares red slippers indoors as a symbol of Christ's crucifixion. 

linocuts the Prince Albert slipper

Making some new work for Ernest Journal's history of men's style column. This time they're about the Prince Albert Slipper.

Here are the prints, it came out a bit messy but because of time constraints I'll photoshop that out, as well as putting them into linocut circles that were printed previously. 

A few of my finished prints

A few finished cards and a print that I'll be selling at the London Illustration fair this weekend.

Prints for LIF 2016

Prints for London Illustration fair coming along nicely, I just hope I get them all done in time! 

Victor Hugo for New philosopher Mag

Final illustrations for New Philosopher magazine. A mag with really interesting articles and very cleverly written! Makes you think about things from a whole new perspective. Here I made one with shading and one without, I can't decide which one I like more. 

works in progress

Here are a few things I'm working on, portrait of French writer Victor Hugo and more landscapes/trees.

Colour layer for Horniman Museum

For ages now I've been meaning to experiment with the colour on my Horniman Print, so here it is. And now I need to experiment with the top layer

After a few unfortunate slip ups with cutting, the autumn poppies looking like they might come out ok after all.

There's something very satisfying  about having a little hill of lino next to you. 

Ernest Journal Issue 5!

I recently got Issue 5 of the beautiful Ernest Journal in the post today, really nice to see my two illustrations in there on the printed page. Get yourself a copy here.

Neo:print Prize

Today I found myself in Bolton for the Neo:print prize exhibition private view. 

I have to say I'm absolutely stoked to be a part of this exhibition, it's the freshest, punchiest print show I've seen in ages and the standard is amazing! Of course I expected nothing less when you have judges from the V&A, Royal collage of art, Printmaking today and Pace Prints New York reps personally selecting the show. 

It was also really nice meeting neo:studio directors: Jason Simpson and Julie Levy, it was lovely briefly chatting to them at the show.
The show runs from the 25th Aug - 30th Oct at neo:gallery 23 The Market Place Shopping centre Bolton. Being on the second floor of a shopping centre it's not where you'd expect but what an amazing space!

Lovely to see the finished CD with my artwork on it. Some great fiddle playing on it by the talented Erynn Marshall.

Waterfront Magazine
