Back in the game
It’s been some time out of the print world. Life has thrown a few curve balls, as it does for everyone, so the fun print stuff has taken a back seat for the last year. However, I have been kept busy with other things. I’m back full-time on the graphic design (who woulda thought?!) and…

Screen printed Tees
I went out on a bit of a limb. My California poppy t-shirts all sold out and I was getting a lot of DMs and requests about getting more printed, so I did a load of research in to whether it was time for me to drop everything and learn how to screen print (which…

Peace on Earth
It’s been a pretty long year. It’s hard not to get down about all that’s going wrong all over the world, but do you know what? I’m glad that I do feel down about it. Otherwise I’d be an arsehole. Peace, people.

Tiny Print Tuesday
Getting on the #tinyprinttuesday train, I’ve just found out it existed plus it’s a Tuesday PLUS I needed another form of procrastination today to avoid a project I’m struggling with 😬

Reduction print
I’ve been toying with the idea of printing some of my blocks onto t-shirts for a long time and FINALLY got around to doing some experimenting. There were a few fails on the way, but I hit gold with my California Poppies on a white long sleeve tee. The Caligo Ultramarine Blue ink pops.

Going large WIP
I’ve had a large project in the back of my head for a while. It’s been brewing there while I trawled through various other projects that were much faster to execute, with more instant gratification involved. But it finally came to the front of the queue in my head two weeks ago.
