These are some A2 prints. I much prefer working big like this. I really don't like the last two images though, they're taken from an earlier drawing which was much more successful. Everything was hand drawn, I also used hand carved stamps.
It's been well over a year since I've done any work to put on here but I recently got some screen printing equipment and tried doing some cheeky Christmas cards! I'm not so pleased with the house image. I need to make the moon a lot more subtle so it doesn't look as if it's part of the house. Someone kindly pointed out that it reminded them of a tractor.
My scanner is awful so some of the more subtle colours don't really show up very well, although my computer screen's a bit broken so I can't see them properly anyway. I would take a photo of them instead but my camera doesn't work.

I was asked to advertise an exhibition of Polish Chopin Posters by writing the composer's name in huge letters on the window of the gallery. They were as tall as me and it was pretty tricky at times but I think it turned out mint.
I screen printed 50 of these posters as part of a global poster project, The Haiti Poster Project. Loads of designers' posters are sold online in order to raise money for this cause (check out the link). I really enjoyed printing these, even though it took some time! It's the first time I have printed so many copies of a poster.
