Hello Friends, Bloggers, pet lovers. I found these sketches hidden in a book, i thought i'd share them with you.

Little Beauties

Ah! The whippets.. they dont like the cold very much, they much prefer sitting on the couch and watching me drawing- waiting for any kind of signal that we might be going for a walk. Yestersday in regents street i saw for sale in a shop stripey dog leg warmers, a little four pack of knitted ones, and a dog scarf! with a pom pom on the end, little jumpers and even a sailors outfit.
Of course im not even thinking about dressing them up, they are much to matcho for that, but would look very very cute.

whose that little fellow on the book shelf? sitting on top of a very nice collection of fairy tales. And the printmaking book is very good too, the publisher is Rotovision.

A letter to you Santi

A1 beautiful 2-colour screen print in Plum and Mink. The image is slightly under A1 and it is printed on white cartridge paper with waterbased inks. I have printed a limited Edition of 50 of this print, with 10 artists proofs for Christmas 2009 in my shop now. If you click on the shop on the left link it will take you straight to my little shop.
In Ireland where my dad is from they call Father Christmas "Santi' which is a lovely word to say, what do you call him? X

Christmas Angel

Chestnuts Roasting

Hello...

Hello at the moment i am drawing lots of new things and working on a large set of designs for new prints for a hotel who will hang my work in all the bedrooms, how wonderful is that! I am one year into my residency and I work primarily in screen printing- i love having to think in layers its very soothing after working in collage ( and loosing tiny important bits!) It looks like Autumn is on the way. I love all the new colours that come up, especially conker green ( spellcheck wanted to spell "conker" as conquer- summer's over when you find those little beauties.) Another lovely colour combo is red and turquoise. I saw the new Pedro Almadovar film yesterday afternoon, Broken Embraces and he used red and blue in almost every shot. The interior sets had beautiful things in them. I call them indian turquoise and school red. very nice.

My New Shop

i thought i would get back to blogging. I made these images as a commission for wedding and christening cards. At the moment im working towards creating a new product range and this is a possibly maybe. These cards are one colour screenprints on thick white card.
