Had a quick wander around the North Laine this morning and restocked my supply of paper for lino-prints (plus a quick nosey round Dave’s Comics).
Wondering where would be best to advertise for life models in Brighton. Any ideas, Tumblr?

Art goodies!
My print-drying rack and roller arrived from the art shop today, so I’m going to doing some more print-making this weekend (lino prints again, probably). :)

Station Ident
It’s that time again: time to remind myself - oh, and you - who the hell I am.

Offers to buy artwork, to send me huge amounts of money as acts of philanthropy, or to...

A beautiful book →
Wandered into Brighton today and treated myself to a copy of Marian Bantje’s book “I Wonder”.
I haven’t started reading it yet - I’ve been too engrossed by the book as an object: gilt-edge pages, a highly decorative cover picked out in shining gold and silver inks, beautiful typography, beautiful graphic design. Wow.
