Pinterest and the rest

Look at these wonderful geometric compositions from the New York Public Library online collection. I came across them through Pinterest, which is a very useful way of finding, storing and sharing inspiration (and procrastinating). My Pinterest boards are here.

I haven't been updating this blog with all the little bits and bobs I've been up to for quite some time. I unintentionally let it float into the internet ether, and now it seems there are other things taking up it's place. I have started a new screen printing project which I will blog about here when the time is right, but until then (and probably afterwards) there will be much more action on...

Each zine folds out into a different poster celebrating the Withdrawn series

Withdrawn is a set of zines created from books rejected by the University for the Creative Arts library in Epsom. The books had their covers torn off and branded with WITHDRAWN. They were found in the tip by tutors who saved them and the hundreds of others being thrown out. The covers were left in tact and the books found themselves on a table ready to be taken away by passers by. Each Withdrawn zine features one of these rejected books. I have re-ordered and re-edited the books to eight pages each chosen for their visual merit and each one folds out to a different poster celebrating the Withdrawn series.

Handmade and Bound

A spread from a new zine: Withdrawn no.1

I'm busy creating and printing lots of new zines for Handmade and Bound later this month. I'm also preparing lots of screen printed wares including my moustache bookmarks and the above Christmas paraphernalia.
I filled my bag with lots of wondrous books and prints last year and I can't wait to see what's on offer this year. I'm selling with the lovely and talented Graphics students from UCA Epsom who sold almost everything on offer last year.
The event is on at St Bride's on Sunday 20th November, 12-6pm more details here.

Babies!

One of the best things about growing up is your friends having children, which means I've been busy designing and screen printing cards to print for some of my favourite little people.
