Beautiful light today - ‘komorebi’ is the Japanese word for sunlight filtering through trees. #komorebi #sunlight

Time to crack on with this one. #printmaking #linoprint

Come along to Bury St. Edmund’s print fair on 4 October, if you’re in the area! There will be 45 printmakers to visit, so plenty of prints to see and people to chat to about their work and the world of printmaking. #printmaking #burystedmunds #printfair #suffolkart

Beautiful Gdansk murals. #gdansk #poland #mural #muralart #gdańsk

The amazing amber altar at St. Bridget’s Basilica in Gdansk. #gdańsk #amber

Amazing stained glass and naturalistically carved wooden pulpit at Antwerp cathedral. #antwerp #stainedglass #woodcarving

Look for the magic 💫 #magic #levitate

Date for your diary! Print East will be at the Athenaeum in Bury St. Edmunds on Saturday 4 October. There will be stalls covering all types of printmaking and a lot of printmakers to talk to about their work. I’ll be there too! #printmaking #suffolk #burystedmunds

Third layer printed. Something to brighten up this dreary grey day 💫 #bright #colour

Big cats all the way today… first silicone layer. Off to a party now, so will carry on with this & the panther prints tomorrow. #bigcat #silicone #siliconemolds

Second layer. This needs to dry a little, so I’ll print the third layer tomorrow. #pink #orange #printmaking #layers

Printing some Moon Panthers today. #panther #bigcat #moon

I took this photo of St. Paul’s from Hungerford Bridge last night. It made me think of the Thames TV image, which I now realise was a London mash-up - all the sights squished into one image (second pic) in some 1970s photoshopping! #thames #thamesriver #london #stpauls #mashup

Happy to be sending one of these off today courtesy of Wychwood Art. ‘Tyger, Tyger, Burning Bright…’. #linoprinting #linoprint #tiger #tygertyger

Back to this one today and starting to think how I’ll make the mould. #cheetah #animalsculpture #sculpture #clay #mouldmaking

Added a bit more texture to the wolf to balance out the white. #stedmundswolf #wolf #legend #burystedmunds #suffolk #linoprint

Test print of St. Edmund’s Wolf. Edmund was an Anglo-Saxon king who ruled East Anglia from 855-869 AD & was killed with arrows by Vikings. They cut off his head & threw it into some bushes. It was found guarded by a #wolf. When placed next to his body, it miraculously became reattached. #linoprint

Working on a little linoprint for at Print East in Bury St. Edmund’s on 4 October at the Atheneum - St. Edmund’s Wolf. #burystedmunds #wolf #linoprint #printmaking

Interesting artefact in the local junk shop (are the tubes empty?!) and the story of the Nobel Peace Prize (second pic). #dynamite #explosive #nobel #junk #nobelprize

Reading David Gentleman’s new book ‘Lessons for Young Artists’ (it’s relative, he’s 95) on the tube and ending up at Charing Cross, where the murals are designed by David Gentleman - serendipity! #davidgentleman #charingcross #drawing

Sending off some Wells-next-the-Sea prints today, including this one of the Lifeboat Horse. Just heard mention that it’s ’false autumn’ weather today, so I’m holding onto summer and the idea of summer holiday places for a few more weeks yet! #summer #summerholidays #linocut #lifeboat #horse

I went to Chelsea Physic Garden today and saw this Coat of Arms of the Worshipful Company of Apothecaries, who ran the garden. The god is Apollo, god of healing. The dragon represents disease. The rhinoceros is a sign of strength and health 💫 #chelseaphysicgarden #apothecary #coatofarms

Taking shape… #animalsculpture #sculpture #cheetah #bigcat #clay

I’ve been working on the cheetah’s head today with some fine wooden tools. Terence Stamp’s autobiography ‘Stamp Album’ has kept me entertained as an audio book in the background - magical time travel in book form 💫 #cheetah #sculpture #animalsculpture #terencestamp #stampalbum

Beautiful 17th century Bohemian glass in the V&A Glass Gallery. #glass #paintedglass #bohemia #v&a

A trip to the National Portrait Gallery today to see the Portrait Award. Amazing work of which these are a just a few! #portraiture #portrait #painting #nationalportrairgallery

Some of the great exhibits at the Design & Disability exhibition @vamuseum.bsky.social recently chosen by Time Out as one of their must see exhibitions. #design #disability #victoriaandalbertmuseum #timeout

Just started working on this sitting cheetah - a lot still to do! #cheetah #bigcat #sculpture #animalsculpture #clay

ALL HAIL THE CORNFLAKE GOD

Next stop the OXO Tower with the Printmakers Council ! The PMC members are celebrating 60 years of the group and you’re all invited along to the OXO Tower to see the diverse printmaking styles and techniques represented! #printmaking #oxotower #printmakerscouncil #diamondanniversary #diamond

I’ve just added these three to my website (link in bio or DM for details) - ‘Return to Scolt Head’, ‘Spoonbill’ and ‘The Ludham Dragon’ - they all have a Norfolk theme! #norfolk #northnorfolk #spoonbill #holkham #ludham #scolthead #burnhamoverystaithe #norfolkbroads

It’s #internationaldogday today. I’m much more of a cat person (I admire their independence!), but occasionally I stray to the other side. Here’s one I painted of my step-mum’s neighbour’s dog and my ‘Yin Yang Dogs’ linoprint. #linoprinting #oilpainting #yinyang #lurcher #spaniel

Here’s my little homage to Scolt Head & the little wood & flint hut in the middle of it. Like a dream to escape there away from the madding crowds. Magic 💫 #scolthead #escape #northnorfolk #printmaking

My current read - brilliantly captures the geography and strangeness of the Fens and intertwines it all with themes of the circular nature of history (& that we never learn from it - how apt!) and story-telling and unreliable narratives. #grahamswift #waterland #thefens #eels

Trip to Crystal Palace & Balham this morning to visit friends (the joy of The Hyde Park roundabout 😬), then printing this afternoon. This is the inked block, rather than the print, but I quite like it!! Food for thought. #experiments #foodforthought #printmaking

Detail of a current print I’m working on. Trying some new techniques and ideas, so very much a work in progress at this stage. Something of a mixture of monoprinting & linocut. #linocut #printmaking #monotype #monoprint

The beginnings of something new… #linocut #newbeginnings

Out walking with a friend yesterday and we saw some amazing fungi [insert pun here] on Hampstead Heath. Huge and growing amongst the roots of a tree. Such beautiful, sculptural shapes. #fungi #funguy #hampsteadheath

‘Moon Panther’ will be on display at the Printmakers Council 60th Diamond Anniversary exhibition at OXO Tower Wharf, South Bank, London from 2-7 September. Come along to see the huge variety of work by the PMC members! #printmakerscouncil #oxotower #oxotowerwharf #diamondanniversary #printmaking

Absolutely delighted to have ‘We Are Stardust’ selected for the 2025 Ironbridge Printmaking Competition 🙏 💫 #wearestardust #printmaking #linocut #ironbridge #shropshire

The best wish tied onto the Green Man @greenmanfest.bsky.social ❤️ #dragon #wales #therebedragons

Happy to be sending one of these off today. ‘Sun Lion’ linocut. #linocut #sun #lion #sunlion

This made me laugh (wryly) @greenmanfest.bsky.social #greeanfestival #carsticker #wry

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

Fabulous four days @greenmanfest.bsky.social Great bands, amazing weather, no phone signal - bliss! #greenman #greenmanfestival

Heading west… #greenman
