I printed the type form I put together at the weekend, using a rainbow roll of Pthalo Green and Rhodamine Red oil-based relief inks. I printed with Swansea Print Workshop‘s Columbian Press onto Kent paper. I love the way the well-worn vintage letters have dints and dimples and rough areas that add to the characterContinue reading “Rainbow Type.”

Here’s another scribble I made when Husb and I went to a political panel event in Penybont ar Ogwr / Bridgend the other evening. I sketched this audience member and his haircut with a ballpoint pen into my leather-bound A5 sketchbook.
