Got a few photos at Bognor Regis (just with my phone). I love this sort of thing.

Would anyone like three 35mm plastic cameras? I would like them to go to a good home.
There's a Nikon TW2, a Minolta AF Tele Super and a Canon Sure Shot Supreme.
The Nikon and Minolta have rechargeable batteries but I don't have any way of charging them.
The Canon I cannot even get into the battery compartment but I'm sure you can figure it out!

This is what my new Safe Harbour illustrations are looking like. Well, not all illustrations as the first one has been printed.
I will be printing the second one next week hopefully.
The last one is still a work in progress.

Two more to go.

Here's my second colour proof of my Thatchers print. It will look almost like this only hopefully with a few more white brush strokes at the top.
All film positives made entirely by hand with paper cuts, brush marks and pencil marks. Oh and some scraping.

The artwork is all done, I think! Here is the dark grey layer.

I am really getting there! Just did a large area of negative pencil marks. I have the dark grey layer to do and then a bunch of brush marks and that's it.

Last year I made my first positives by hand for this print, Upturned Boats, by cutting paper, painting it black and glueing it onto transparent sheets of polyester. I also drew in pencil and pen and made black brush strokes with an old brush.

I made this Beach Findings print exactly five years ago.
It is a three colour screenprint in yellow, blue and black with a bit of overprinting to achieve green.

Some of my Running Hare prints are on their way to the lovely Saltbox Gallery in Yorkshire.
Yes, some of my open edition prints are available wholesale.

So here's another big print of mine which I finished editioning just before Christmas, it's of Mevagissey Harbour.
It is a six colour screenprint.

So here's another print I did of somewhere in Cornwall, this is Coverack.
It is a two colour linocut and was one of my most successful prints.
Definitely inspired by the amazing work of Bryan Angus.

Here's the finished St. Ives print. I actually got a few good ones!
I need to work out if I need to print any more.

Well this layer went a lot, lot better, but I have so many bad ones from the light grey layer.
Anyway here is a good one!
Two layers to go.

Created two years ago, here is my Old Post Office at Fowey linocut.
I had a lot of fun working on this piece!

gorgeous photos!

Here's the final Shallow Waters print!
I'm very happy with how it came out, I have learned a lot about opaque colours and also have used a new (to me) technique for getting the colours mixed correctly.
This is only available to my Patreon Tier 2 subscribers and at events. It will be £30 at events so if you subscribe you're getting a bargain!
