Prince Constantine of Albania

My print from this weekend's Secret Blisters print show in Dalston. Taken by the very talented Iain Hector. Much better than my own fumbled attempts. Thanks a million Iain!

Secret Blisters Show - SOLD OUT!

This weekend is the Secret Blisters screenprint show, kicking off with the amazing Private View on friday. A really great night, with many a friendly face and that pleasant sound of purses snapping open.

And the good news. I was one of only 3 ( out of around 55 artists) whose work entirely sold out on the opening night! Did I say all? No, not quite, one remains and that today is being auctioned off to the highest bidder. So fingers crossed for a few more much-needed shekels coming my way.

Thanks so much for everyone who came along, and of course, everyone who bought.

Illustration Friday - "Drifting"

There's nothing so fine as drifting about the city as a flâneur.

Sugar Frosted Goodness - "Fish"

How much a woman needs a man, allegedly.

Le Diable

They say that the Devil is a charming man, and imposiible to resist. They also say his member is barbed like a Tom-cat's and that making love with him is excruciatingly painful... but I reckon you've just got to relax.

Bikes #1

An idea and starting point for a screen print ( or series of screen prints) I'm thinking of doing on the sublject of bikes and cycling.

For the actual print, think I'd like even more interlocking/ over-lapping characters and an additional colour layer.

Secret Blisters Show

A show I'm involved with.

There should be a little speech bubble with my name on it, coming off of the bottom T!

Please come along if you can ( RSVP) - It'll be an amazing show, in an amazing venture, and within spitting distance ( tho' please don't!) of Rick Stein-recommended Turkish ocakbasi restaurant Mangal ( Arcola St) and the fabulous Stone Cave, on Kingsland Rd.
