Big news (for me, at least): I finally have an online shop up and running. Go take a look at shop.explorestudio.co.uk A bunch of new prints. More coming down the line. Let me know if you hit any hiccups.

Banks Mill Open Studios in Derby is almost here. I'll have these new 2-colour screenprints that I've made in collaboration with studio buddy Rosie Yates for sale, along with a live printing demo in my studio. Five floors of creative goodness. Fri 28th-Sun 30th Nov. 4-7 on Friday, 10-5 all weekend.

Mega pleased to have made a 2-colour screenprint for Pile's UK/IE shows starting next week. Their latest record ‘Sunshine and Balance Beams’ has been in constant rotation since it came out this summer and is 100% up there for my album of the year. cc. @pile.bsky.social /@sooperrecords.bsky.social

Haven't posted on here yet so I guess now's probably as good a time as any. I'm Jim. A graphic designer, illustrator and musician with a big stack of underused recording gear and microphones. I just spent the last hour breaking into my own house. A real jack of all trades, you could say.
