Well I need to learn how to evenly ink big etching plates like this, but the plate itself seems ok! It takes a full hour to ink it up, and it's physically exhausting... I don't think I'll ever work with plates this big again after the 3 planned ones, but I'm learning loads from it at least. Anyway, 1/3 good to go.

I am still playing with carving eraser stamps! Here is my take on Jake the Dog from Adventure Time.

“Heelo” cyanotype prints are now available in my shop as of today!

As this was an experimental run, each print is unique in its own way, and range in size from roughly A6 to roughly A4 so have been individually photographed and priced.

I’m announcing here first as the Mastodon community has been so kind about my recent work 💙 If you would like one, you’ll have first pick!

Ever look at your scrap paper and think, oh that looks pretty… this is totally just a mask for my multicoloured portrait* and a piece of paper on which I was cleaning excess ink off brayers.

*I printed my key block in black of my astronomer portrait and then cut out the shape so I could flip it over and use it to mask out areas I don’t want to get orange ink on them.

A building’s golden windows dissolve into rippling black water, their light fractured by rain. Bonnard captures the quiet alchemy of urban reflection—how a street at dusk becomes a liquid memory.

What else lingers beneath the surface of this mirrored glow?

made this at yesterday’s #risograph workshop at Fluoro Press, my first time working in this medium. Based on seeing these words spraypainted on a Paris roof in 2012. But 3 hours wasn’t enough to take full advantage of the 2-stencil, 2-colour process. I started with the line drawing, which I wanted to saturate in fluoro pink via the text-and-rainbow 2nd layer. The group was mostly experienced working in drawing and #printmaking, so the print swap at the end was awesome. Wish I could post it. #art
