Poor Frankenbug's monster, the horror!

Screen Printing

This week I've been doing a screen printing summer course, which I've been really loving. I haven't done any since university, and at that stage I much preferred etching. No longer - now I'm screen not scrim! We've learned so much in the past four days. Because I naturally draw so small it's brilliant to be able to do things BIGGER... It's giving me a lot of ideas. Plus it's very nostalgic to be back, for this very short while, at art school.

Oh, printing room, I'm so happy to see you!

Put a pig on a screen why not!

Piggys on the drying rack! A3 Bigpigs!

Look at your stripey pants! Just you wait until tomorrow...

Bug fun

Tempting ice cream eating

I've been watching Arrested Development - seeing Liza Minelli reminded me again of this piggy. She was going to have a sexy napkin in one hand, but that seemed weird.

Bits and bobs

More bits and bobs! And I will update this blog properly soon, I miss it but haven't had much chance for any personal work recently. But I'm doing a screen printing course soon which I'm really looking forward to - no doubt there will be lots of cats, but bigger - I'll post them if they aren't too mutant.

Taking a gamble

Hey little fella!

Reading Showtime

Here's a photo of my godson Dylan reading an advance copy of "Showtime for Billie and Coco", which is publishing in August. Look at him reading! He's great.

Another one

Napoleonic

Pointing imperiously. Sorry about the "horse", horse-fans! He sure is a shocker. I say neigh! I blame the painting for having his legs so dark I couldn't see... perhaps Joseph Chabord wasn't too hot on horses either and was fudging it with use of shadow. But probably not.
