Apparently it’s International Potato Day 🥔 today May 30th. I do love potatoes. I am also trying to learn Hungarian which is very difficult but so far my all time favourite word is potato = krumpli 🥔 it’s so nice to say, it feels nice your mouth, just like potato 😂 #internationalpotatoday2025 #letterpress
It’s the last few days of @secret7s charity auction raising money for @warchild Have you been to see all the record sleeves up for grabs at the @nowgalleryse10 in Greenwich? Not to worry, they’re all online too. Can you guess which two are mine? I’ll give you a clue, they’re letterpress printed 😂 #letterpress #warchild #secret7 Exhibition & Auction both end on June 1st
Flabbergasted & Gobsmacked seem appropriate words whenever I read the news lately! I’m having a lot of fun playing with my bigger woodtype and my thesaurus. I’m building up a lovely, fun & colourful collection.
Biscuit?
(sweary language alert!)
It’s Monday…again…pop the kettle on 🫖 it’ll be ok ☕️
For everyone who’s finding yet another week slightly trying x One lump or two? #letterpress #everythingstopsfortea #coffeedaily #custardcream #biscuits🍪
A twofer is a woodtype block that has had another letter cut into the reverse. In this case though it’s a lucky horseshoe! You can see it has been hand carved by the marks in the wood. I wonder why it was needed and uc the person who made it would like my interpretation #letterpress #horseshoe #printing
I’ve had this twofer M & horseshoe block for ages. I also have a new to me selection of lovely big woodtype. Both were looking for a print to be created. Then I saw the @johnmulaney 🐴 skit for the first time and laughed so so much (2018 but new to me, easy to find on YouTube)a welcome moment of lightness among the awful news that seems to appear daily. So here we are are in best antiseptic turquoise and completely crackers orange (see comment for video of twofer block) #letterpress
Need a break from the doomscrolling socials?
The mystical power of the ‘Naked Reverse WiFi Guy’ is the stuff of legend...all he wants is a bit of peace and quiet...
This printers block predates the internet yet there he is nonchalantly squashing the WiFi back where it came from!
Why is he sometimes wearing a hat but no clothes? No-one knows

28 Feb is #rarediseaseday In UK, pop ~6.34M, I’m one of ~8,400 with Addison’s Disease. There’s no cure. With lifelong treatment it’s manageable, but can, & has been life threatening. I’m also an artist, these prints, made into a freestanding zigzag bookart are 1st science based work I created. Now i’ve a growing body of sci-art. Funny where a strange diagnosis can lead. #Addisonsdisease
