The Blue Boar (screen print for sale)
The Blue Boar (screen print for sale)
My latest limited edition screen print, the Blue Boar, is part of a series of prints, entitled Coloured Inns - an examination of popular Pub Names, each described by a colour (Red Lion, Green Dragon, White Hart, Golden Eagle, Dun Cow, etc, etc).
The White Boar was the personal cognizance or badge of King Richard III (recently found beneath a car Park in the midlands) and pub signs would have had a painted white boar and the white rose of York. Legend has it that after Richard III was killed at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, all the pubs called the White Boar were hastily renamed the Blue Boar. The Blue Boar was the badge of the de Veres who were the Earls of Oxford (one of whom, some people believe, was the true author of Shakespeare's work), and had been supporters of Henry Tudor and hence on the winning side.
This print measures 42 cm across by 30 cm high ( A3 - a standard frame-size) and is a strictly limited edition of 30, signed by the Artist. Printed on 300 gsm paper this 2-colour print can be yours (or a loved one's!) for £75 + P&P and will be available very shortly for purchase at my Etsy shop and from other reputable outlets.

This print is delivered flat in a reinforced card-backed envelope.

Beer Labels (Pick Me Up)
Beer Labels (Pick Me Up)
My two faux Beer Labels for the bar shelf at the Hero of Switzerland 'pub' at Somerset House, as part of Pick Me Up 2013.
Sir John Barleycorn's Lament, a barleywine. Sir John is the embodiment of grain and beer in British mythology.
Old Bag O'Nails, a port stout. Bag o'nails is an old English pub name and a corruption of Bacchanals, orgies of wine and excess in honour of the Roman god of wine and vineyards.

Noye's Fludde
Noye's Fludde
My latest limited edition screen print is inspired by Benjamin Britten's Noye's Fludde, a 1957 operatic re-telling of the story of Noah's Ark, and by one of the beautifully carved Medieval ceiling bosses in Norwich cathedral. Created as part of the celebration of the centenary of Britten's birth in 1913.
The Ark shows Noye and his wife, one of their sons (Jaffett, lets say) and his wife, an elephant, a bear, a unicorn, two cows and a bull, a lion and various birds peering out into the watery world all about them, whilst overhead a brace of cheeky monkeys play nonchalantly.
Noah's son Jaffett was played in the original performance in Orford by a young Michael Crawford.
This print measures 30 cm across by 42 cm high ( A3 - a standard frame-size) and is a strictly limited edition of 25. Printed on 300 gsm paper this 2-colour print can be yours (or a loved one's!) for £75 + P&P and will be available very shortly for purchase at my Etsy shop and from other reputable outlets.
