Some of the first prints from the trio.

In other news I currently have an exhibition for oxford artweeks in the Phoenix picture house in Jericho. It is on for a month but I’ll be there sat, weds and Thursday so come down and I will totally let you have some of my packed lunch while I sit in the corner doodling all day.

Three new plates all finished, prints tomorrow, promise.

My prints finally up in public, although due to a labelling error each sale, after commission, will cost me money. Lets hope no one feels compelled to buy them just yet.

Tomorrow I’m handing in these three pictures for a pre artweeks show in the jam factory in Oxford. My first foray into actually exhibiting in public so fingers crossed.

Been starting some new stuff on my remaining zinc plates whilst watching ‘Game of Thrones’. As a result I have been doing pictures of knights.

This picture was inspired by ‘Dark Souls’ which is basically about dogged perseverence in the face of nearly insurmountable odds. Oh, and death lots of death.

New plate, I actually started stopping out and biting it in the nitric before I applied the rosin for the aquatint. Oh what folly, hopefully it will print well but that remains to be seen.
