Crikey! This heatwave is getting a bit much. It’s cooler in the house than outside so I’ve been a bit like a cave-dwelling troll today, avoiding the intense sunshine outside. Still sweated cobs though.
I did a load of prep for screenprinting. I put some designs onto screens with Speedball drawing fluid and got them ready for printing by masking the edge of the design with Scotch brown parcel tape. I cut my paper down from A3 to A4 and got everything else ready to go. I think I’ll wait a few days though, for the weather to cool off a bit.
Raising Funds.
My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. Phil is disabled by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and the operation he needs isn’t currently available in the UK. I know times are hard, but if you’re able to spare a bob or two, please click here find out more or to donate a small amount to Phil’s crowdfunding campaign. Thank you xxx
Trying Out A Change
I’m having a go at new templates for my website so I’ll be changing them a few times over the next couple of weeks to see how I get on with them. If there’s one you really like, or dislike, please let me know . Thanks x

Hot weather might be perfect for a bit of scribbling. Let the perspiration become a solvent for the ink or graphite! Introduce some random, arbitrary smearing of the marks, making a virtue of necessity. Then can brag later that you intended it all just so …. Could make sketches in a waking dream of the pictures you’re planning! Turning them over in your mind with the tools of art. All that with a nice cool large glass of lemonade!

There you go. You’ll be following the most respectable and distinguished tradition! Always go with the classics, that’s my motto.
