Heres an insight into the process for my ‘Synthesize’ screen print, printed at Juice Studios in Hull. Sometimes it feels mad condensing that many steps into 30seconds but follow and I’ll be sharing more of the process. #printmaking #synthesizer #screenprinting

Something a bit different - I had a lot of fun cutting and sticking paper last week at @williamvinegrad’s collage club. It was a fun and freeing way to come up with compositions. This one inspired by standing stones was my favourite and I thought would lend itself to a screen print. So after getting home I scanned and developed it a little further with plans to hopefully print it in the future. You can see my original collage from the night on the second image. Wills collage club is every Thursday evening at @juicehull if you want to join us in future. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqNnrVpNA83/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Massive love to @thebrainjar for letting me grace their walls for so long - my exhibition ‘Computer World’ comes down next week. So this is your final warning if you wanted to check it out and you’d be silly not to pop in with cocktails and pizza that good!

Tail end of 2021 I had the pleasure of working with @stylophone_official to create these cute animations of their classic Stylophone and it’s bigger pal the Gen-X1. Originally created in 1967 and famously used by David Bowie on ‘Space Oddity’ (happy birthday for yesterday!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYg0NqNt1gW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Playing around with shapes and forms in a sort of a digital collage. I often feel like I’ve got two sides - with more bright colourful simple shapes and then more textural, messy, collage stuff. But recently found myself exploring joining the two together more confidently. https://www.instagram.com/p/CYZPKjtt-pT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cheers folks! I’m rubbish at writing these things, but basically a big thank you to everyone I’ve worked with in the last year and everyone that’s bought my work or supported what I do. Here’s a few of my fave things from this year. Looking forward to what 2022 brings. All the best! https://www.instagram.com/p/CYMruaPLeim/?utm_medium=tumblr

After a few days away from the studio, I felt the itch to try explore some ideas. And thinking about some of my albums of the year, here’s something inspired by @beautifyjunkyards. https://www.instagram.com/p/CYHfVsbr-Ep/?utm_medium=tumblr

Anyone else been watching the Witcher? Thought it was interesting to see the ‘Baba Yaga’ from Slavic folklore appear.  She was an ogress who steals, cooks, and eats her victims, usually children. She lives in a hut like this one that lifts and spins around on chicken legs. https://www.instagram.com/josephjcox/p/CX1C_iHt1Ex/?utm_medium=tumblr
