More Lithography!

Lithography at Stroud Print Co-op

This week I am taking part in a stone lithography course at Stroud Print co-op. The course is taught by Paul Cross, a master printmaker and has so far been fascinating! I am attending with my mum, artist Beth Jenkins, so far we have drawn onto the stones, and we will be printing them throughout the week, I hope to get some bright colours into the background of my Mecca Bingo image-maybe with some inks or gouache.

Cardboard Bermondsey Street

It has been too long since my last post, but happily it is because I have been really busy!! This latest work was done for a branding agency in London.

Chicken Run

This just conjures up an images of some very unhappy chickens! Found near petticoat market in Shoreditch, London. I was visiting Shoreditch as my work was on display at D&AD, a strange sort of trade fair for illustrators, designers and advertisers. 

It was a really great week of meeting people, showing off and browsing some fabulous vintage clothes shops on Brick lane!

Screen Printing Round Two!

After quite a few failed experiments I have now changed my screen block and drawing fluid and it has exposed the screen so much better!! I look forward to posting the results soon, I will be printing as soon as the screens dries off.

Badges!

Today I made some badges to go one sale at the Edinburgh College of art Degree show! Why don't you come along? The illustration gallery is on the fourth floor of Evolution House, Westport - near the grassmarket! (Sat 12th June - Sunday 20th June)

New Screen Printing kit!- Failed attempt No1.

I recently purchased a home screen printing kit, I have been waiting to use it for a while and even built a hinged bed so I can hold the screen in place and print on my own. I don't have the facilities for exposing photo emulsion as yet, so I created my first print using screen drawing fluid and screen block. This was trickier to use than i anticipated and ended up putting the screen block on waaaaay to thick! As a result my image did not some out very well, and a lot of the detail was missing, bum.  Now I am just looking forward to creating my next print....wahoo!
