Work in progress: Keep on running letterpress and silkscreen print
Here is a sneak peek of my current project combining letterpress, digital design and silkscreen printing, this is at the pre-silkscreen stage of the process.
Inspired by Brian Cox, Adam Buxton & Joe Cornish
Today is day two of my month away from work, so far I have seen the final Harry Potter film, eaten 4 ice lollies, swam in the lido, eaten 3 Frankfurters and created lots of illustrations.
This morning has included lots of laughing whilst listening to the Best Of Adam & Joe on iplayer. Here's an illustration inspired by them talking about the physicist Brian Cox. A couple of close ups below.
Long Live The Art School
The launch will feature a publication containing a range of student work as well as a feature on the Print Area and student prints.
Painting on to the screen
I have been painting on to screens with screen filler to print reversed out. The top photo is the screen filler on the screen and the bottom one is ready to print with black ink. It makes screen printing so much quicker and easier to prepare. Today I have printed two posters and eight business card designs.
Flickr number 2.
I've set up a new Flickr account to upload photos from the UCA Epsom Print Area, which is where I work four days of the week.

Dazed Live Zine exhibition
A zine I made to represent the Print Area at UCA Epsom was entered into the exhibition alongside students zines printed in the Print Area and many a zine from the depths of self-publishing history.
Here are some photos from 'Adventures in Newsprint' which was created from a selection of scrap prints produced in the Print Area at UCA Epsom (GDNM.org). Screen Prints by Students- Ben Ewing, Danielle White & Depinder Sidhu and Staff - Rose Thomas, Brian Whitehead & Tim Ellis.

Still Reverting to Type
The Reverting to Type exhibition is on at Standpoint Gallery until 22nd January.
Two of my prints feature in the show, which is one reason to see it, but really there is an amazing selection of innovative and beautiful letterpress work from printers the world over.
The opening night was rammed full of people amazed by the work, so I'm not just shamelessly promotion my work, it's a very good show.
If you don't believe me, then try this review from Eye Magazine.
Below is a video from New North Press who organised the exhibition , which gives interesting insight into their ambitions, as well as some lovely footage of the studio.

Hello. I love you.
Acne Paper 11 - Letterpress
A few months ago I was visited by Acne Paper to assist them in doing some Letterpress printing for the next issue. These large letters are around 30cm tall and were specially laser cut for the job. The magazine is out now, and it's really great. You can buy it here [update, now listed as out of print]. I'll put a few more images of the work once I've found a big enough scanner, it's a huge magazine!
Design by Ben Branagan.
Art Direction by Christoph Stolberg.
