Another little snippet of the beginnings of the new work I started last weekend. And now I’m putting it all in a big draw in my plans chest until the big reveal in a year or so. Oh yes …….. Such a tease …… It’s a little bit of a ‘ghost’ monotype ……..

Twijazzling And Sheeptacular
The Royal Welsh Show was on last week, the biggest annual agricultural show in Wales. I’ve been a couple of times but I find it a bit odd because I’m a proper townie. A while back, I visited some chums who raise pigs, in very nice humane conditions, and did some scribbling. One of myContinue reading “Twijazzling And Sheeptacular”
A Snippet
I posted a tiny bit of some work I started yesterday and today I took it a stage further. Here’s a little snippet of it but it’s secret at the moment so I can’t say anymore. Meanwhile, tomorrow …….
Mahoosive Manhole
Some manholes are much bigger than others, big enough to get a man down a hole. Here’s one printed by The Plebeian Printmakers the other weekend at the Gwyl Troublemakers Festival. You can get an idea of it’s size by looking at my ridiculous Bagpuss slippers at the bottom. And coming soon toContinue reading “Mahoosive Manhole”
Medieval Manhole
Some manholes are not manholes at all. They’re too small to get a man down. While I was doing some public printmaking with The Plebeian Printmakers a couple of weekends ago, we saw all sorts of manhole covers, big and small and this lovely one was one of the smallest. We were puzzled by itContinue reading “Medieval Manhole”
Medium-sized Manhole
I did some prints from street manhole covers along Swansea’s High Street as part of the Gwyl Troublemakers Festival a couple of weekends ago. I worked with some other printmakers from Swansea Print Workshop and we inked up all the way along the street. We wanted not only to take printmaking out into public, it’sContinue reading “Medium-sized Manhole”
A Taste Of Things To Come
An arty day, printing up a small vinyl block I cut some weeks ago. I’m working with prehistorian Dewi Bowen to produce a limited edition booklet for our event on July 31st at Swansea’s Cinema & Co. This is stage one……. We’ve been travelling across the wilder spaces of South Wales for about 18 monthsContinue reading “A Taste Of Things To Come”
Pavement Plebs
After getting a soaking with The Plebeian Scribblers last Saturday at the Troublemakers Festival I went back for more on Sunday with The Plebeian Printmakers. We worked the High Street, inking up manhole covers and other bits of pavement and road metal and took prints from them. Luckily, the rain had stopped by the timeContinue reading “Pavement Plebs”
When The Postman Knocked
For a few years now, I’ve entered the Leftovers international miniature print exchange, organised by the lovely printmakers at Wingtip Press, Boise, Idaho, USA. Printmakers from all over the world send an edition of 14 tiny original prints, done on pieces of leftover paper, and in return twelve are selected at random and sent back,Continue reading “When The Postman Knocked”
A Nice Manhole
Here’s a short interview with me, here, about the two events I’m taking part in this coming weekend, July 15th and 16th with The Plebeian Scribblers and The Plebeian Printmakers. I’ll be up to arty shenanigans with hordes of other arty types in a 4 day arty party on Swansea’s High Street starting tomorrow courtesyContinue reading “A Nice Manhole”
