This is the Scandi tea towel / print illustration completely hand inked.
I will work out the final size today (hopefully) and make a film positive.
I don't know what the final colour will be yet. We are going to print the tea towels so there's the possibility of doing different colourways.
I have also designed six cards based on these animals. I just need to finalise the colours. It'll be good to have some more wintery cards for our fairs in the autumn.
So here's my new On the Waves print, photographed properly. Six colours, hand printed onto Fabriano 5.
It is based on my Pigeon Posted commission illustrations which is why I couldn't show it to you before.
I am doing six new screen prints based on my Pigeon illustrations. They use elements from both sides of the Pigeons and also have new elements so they are not the same as the Pigeons.
This one takes the rocks, seagull and buoy from the reverse as well as the elements from the front.
I have already got the next one ready to go, the Day at the Beach print. It has different elements added.

Here's the print I just printed on Thursday. It is called The Old Lifeboat Station at Lizard. I managed to get 9 good ones.
£5 from every print sold is donated to the RNLI.
I am now getting ready for Winchester Print Fair, wrapping up unframed prints and restocking cards and garlands.
I feel like I'm getting slower and slower at printing. I used to do 12 to 15 prints a year.
Anyway this autumn I will be able to focus on experimenting with natural media and also some abstract prints. I will be doing fewer fairs than usual in the autumn to allow me to do this.
J’ai fait une petite vidéo qui montre le processus d’impression de ma dernière linogravure 👇
Description de la vidéo : on voit ma main enduire un rouleau d’encre puis l’appliquer sur la plaque, mettre la plaque dans une presse, poser une feuille et un tissu feutre dessus, et enfin décoller l’estampe de la plaque
We will be at Cheltenham soon between 8th and 10th March.
I will have all the new prints including a framed Mevagissey Harbour, Coverack and Rooftops of St. Ives. Plus unframed prints, cards, scenes and garlands.
I am so excited to show you my new work but that will not be done in time for Cheltenham. I feel like I'm still moving forward which is great.
"Taken together, the essays reveal the dynamics of what the editors call an "imperial commons," a lively, empire-wide print culture. They show that neither empire nor book were stable, self-evident constructs. Each helped to legitimize the other."
