I wanted to get in a bit of portraiture practice, working directly from a simple black and white drawing, while the other two wantedContinue reading “An Inky Threesome”

The Columbian
I spend the afternoon at Swansea Print Workshop but didn’t have any plates or blocks ready for inking so I did a spot of drawing instead. This is our lovely old Columbian Press, dating from 1855, with one of our artist/printmakers inking up a collagraph in the foreground. It’s drawn onto a sheet of stretchedContinue reading “The Columbian”
Berlin And The Geek
Spent a very long but happy day at Swansea Print Workshop, working with a talented group of artists to produce a body of monotypes, which we hope will form the basis of a portfolio to go to the USA in the Autumn. I based mine on a drawing I did of husb when we visitedContinue reading “Berlin And The Geek”
Scribbling USA
I came to Boise to collaborate with a group of artists to produce a body of monotypes and drawings, which we did, but I can’t resist the urge to scribble;it’s like scratching an itch. This is one I did of a grain elevator in Oregon. I’d never seen one before. It was huge. This isContinue reading “Scribbling USA”

Here are the blocks inked and raring to go onto the press. It is their destiny. And here is my little set of four petroglyphs……. IContinue reading “Post-Muckiness….”

Another very hot day in Boise, Idaho and I spent the morning with Amy and Arun at Wingtip Press, setting up a simple exhibition of the work done by our collaborative group of seven artists.

Skull Attack
Back in my wilder, younger, biker days I was very fond of a local beer, Brain’s S.A., fondly nicknamed Skull Attack. Now I’m older and wiser (?!) I like to use skulls in the development of my artwork. I’ve been at Wingtip Press in Boise, Idaho, collaborating with a group of artists to develop aContinue reading “Skull Attack”
