It has been a really fun time, and I'm totally blown away by all the positive comments I've had from people, in person and on social media.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">It is the biggest exhibition I've had in my life as an artist, and it really means a lot to me that the exhibition has connected with people who have visited. Apparently there were over 42,000 visitors!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Sheffield Museums staff have been super-helpful, the curators, technicians, workshops/events crew and the shop staff too. The workshops and talks seemed to go down well. My favourite event was meeting a group of Sheffield Museums volunteers and talking them round the show. They were a really engaged and interested bunch!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The new 'Donkey Monolith' (10 to 16) prints went down well too. I've sold a fair few of them, but the remaining prints will appear in my Folksy shop very soon.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">What to do next? Watch this space...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">In the meantime I have created a new rather small new donkey print called <a href="https://folksy.com/items/8232497-Donkey-No-1-A5-one-colour-linocut-screenprint" target="_blank"><b>'Donkey No.1</b>'</a>. This clearly isn't the first donkey print I've made, but the first in a long time of a simple portrait, so the title seemed fitting. I actually created it for a talk/demonstration I was giving to the Heeley Art Group (oldest art group in the UK apparently!), and I rather liked the result so thought I'd make a proper edition.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">It is an A5 size linocut/screenprint, in an edition of 94, printed with black ink on 250gsm off-white Munken paper. It is now in my <b><a href="https://folksy.com/items/8232497-Donkey-No-1-A5-one-colour-linocut-screenprint" target="_blank">Folksy</a></b> shop.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg61CUjnSSctriC4KUfj10z4cGvhB-IfcKVO7F2Xlg927IAEab94aV9Gj4i-yvCwQ0QV3OlnGlScVQ9y36IvgKNOFLfLzSTBbUwyMmD4Ypet4K-z7B9NK6bdRmCI8CFd6AJrnrxINx7VYlnjeblsD_LkX7_ZPxUqlw3nLAzumyP35vKroqsJDCEjZ92sxw/s1333/donkey%20no.1%20(full%202).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg61CUjnSSctriC4KUfj10z4cGvhB-IfcKVO7F2Xlg927IAEab94aV9Gj4i-yvCwQ0QV3OlnGlScVQ9y36IvgKNOFLfLzSTBbUwyMmD4Ypet4K-z7B9NK6bdRmCI8CFd6AJrnrxINx7VYlnjeblsD_LkX7_ZPxUqlw3nLAzumyP35vKroqsJDCEjZ92sxw/w480-h640/donkey%20no.1%20(full%202).jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>james greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14827398819325088748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517890366279035090.post-24785451181018016152023-06-05T08:46:00.003-07:002023-06-05T08:46:55.490-07:00Donkey Nonsense now open!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg52QsB_7e2cWmb4Et0RLyDPHaVYT40y4quqBEbPVPCMmCs5kg60I_T7seZJbfM3YYokFt0L75kOBaVy6ylLmLkjl1HfM83u27Pxmy27TagJHGtkqQvMdVMrzEpOLyOt9RSqM7qqONW-79CrkCo9tU0jkSBJOfsBWD5Aa4BGolsnK3io6zknm9cJrLu/s1000/DN%20image%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="481" data-original-width="1000" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg52QsB_7e2cWmb4Et0RLyDPHaVYT40y4quqBEbPVPCMmCs5kg60I_T7seZJbfM3YYokFt0L75kOBaVy6ylLmLkjl1HfM83u27Pxmy27TagJHGtkqQvMdVMrzEpOLyOt9RSqM7qqONW-79CrkCo9tU0jkSBJOfsBWD5Aa4BGolsnK3io6zknm9cJrLu/w640-h308/DN%20image%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;">I'm very proud to announce that my new exhibition, </span><b style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.sheffieldmuseums.org.uk/whats-on/donkey-nonsense-prints-by-james-green/" target="_blank">'Donkey Nonsense'</a></b><span style="font-family: arial;"> is now open! It is the biggest exhibition I have ever had, and focusses on my donkey-related prints from over the last fifteen years.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">It is at The Millennium Gallery in Sheffield city centre, and features 50 prints, plus textile pieces, ceramics, an animated film and more. The prints start from 2008 up until the current day, and there are seven brand new prints exclusive to the exhibition. You can buy these from the gallery shop, along with donkey greeting cards, enamel badges, vinyl LPs and exhibition posters.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The exhibition has been two years in the planning, and I can't quite believe that it is now happening! I was lucky enough to receive some funding from the 'Freelance Fund' via Sheffield Council, plus help from Sheffield Museums too, which helped a lot.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The exhibition also features collaborations with fellow artists and creatives <a href="https://vinegarandbrownpaper.co.uk/" target="_blank">vinegar & brown paper</a> (linocut/letterpress print & etched mirror), <a href="https://www.johnapedder.com/" target="_blank">John Pedder</a> (woodcut/screenprint), <a href="https://hunkprint.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Hunk Print</a> (screenprinted t-shirt), <a href="https://www.fingerindustries.co.uk/" target="_blank">Finger Industries</a> (animated films) and <a href="https://thestitchsociety.com/" target="_blank">The Stitch Society </a>(smock and apron). I love collaborating with people and it is a great opportunity to show these pieces to the world!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">There are a couple of events related to the exhibition that you might be interested in too:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><u><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Meet The Artist</b></span></u></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This is a free event where I'll talk about the show, inspiration

with date clashes, but this year it works out! If you live in Sheffield
and you weren't aware, it is a great open studio event for any artist
living in the city to open their workspace to the general public, so
they can see the artists at work and maybe buy pieces too. The event
runs the dates above and also the following weekend, but I am only
available the dates stated. I will be creating some new work while in my
garden studio, and setting up a display of a selection of my work. The
A5 booklets will be available soon throughout the city, and you can also
use the maps on their website to plan your trip! My location and other
info are on my page there too.</span><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>james greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14827398819325088748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517890366279035090.post-80220072875219417692022-12-14T07:59:00.000-08:002022-12-14T07:59:35.114-08:002022, thank you!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWjrqJeez_BidPrrVtQDhCHE0uPWQi9ThaHcDNJ3o9hWFnAoBtBCKxYFhryqku5xXFT_dPeUm7EPa_8A4TOHQ6x_aJMZ4OiyN_mxtpfmO9dAEWC7XQmTZe0ptwLNhGzdY69ew-DvqVwxVzYDZU-r4V-DXunUqPOoZ0WYiMgjrfWBfaFxU8It10T-Vy/s850/thanks%202022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="354" data-original-width="850" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWjrqJeez_BidPrrVtQDhCHE0uPWQi9ThaHcDNJ3o9hWFnAoBtBCKxYFhryqku5xXFT_dPeUm7EPa_8A4TOHQ6x_aJMZ4OiyN_mxtpfmO9dAEWC7XQmTZe0ptwLNhGzdY69ew-DvqVwxVzYDZU-r4V-DXunUqPOoZ0WYiMgjrfWBfaFxU8It10T-Vy/w640-h266/thanks%202022.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Before Christmas swallows me up whole I thought I'd just write to say thanks for all your support over the last year.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">It has clearly been a tricky year for everyone, and I really do appreciate every bit of interest shown to me and my print work.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">As far as prints are concerned, I've had a lot of fun experimenting with bright colours, transparencies, new landscapes, new birds, new textile products and of course a whole load of donkeys!

The mother of all UK print events returns, and I'm thrilled to be taking part. It takes place in Ulverston in the Lake District, at a lovely arts and entertainment hall called The Coro.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><a href="https://www.endlesslovecreative.com/markets" target="_blank">Endless Love Creative</a></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><u>7th May 2022, The Workstation, 15 Paternoster Row, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield S1 2BX</u></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">These events have been going on for a while now, but I did my first one last year, and was mightily impressed.

This is probably the biggest and best craft event in the UK. It is really like a super-cool music festival, but with the focus instead on art and craft. There are loads of demonstrations, 120 makers (!), food, music, films and all sorts of other activities. It takes place in a small village in Devon, and is definitely worth the trip!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">That is about it for my blog update this time.

I have known Charlotte of TSS for a while now, and always admired their artisan workwear. I have designed a few t-shirts over the last few years, and created textile patterns, but never combined both things until now! I was very lucky in receiving a grant from the Freelance Fund in Sheffield to finance this project, and they were launched in June 2021. Each garment is made to order and available either from my Folksy shop or their <a href="https://thestitchsociety.com/james-green/" target="_blank">website</a>.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjaVZ1PFHTLq7XWqDaOULCRHtIVm6ZIaiAq_FG2PspTrmlaaXuY-iKrudEG9xfVPzwZX6zopbqiMwZqj-55S4CYA48UKLND7YCR3RpLHsRiDYXFm1Acw3YA6Y4gfZ4kVZZxEPyBfluBhwbmmquCJuYSt2q7LO5ZQNnsShkkFSnN0TCffYJTgouqreOu=s2447" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2447" data-original-width="2447" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjaVZ1PFHTLq7XWqDaOULCRHtIVm6ZIaiAq_FG2PspTrmlaaXuY-iKrudEG9xfVPzwZX6zopbqiMwZqj-55S4CYA48UKLND7YCR3RpLHsRiDYXFm1Acw3YA6Y4gfZ4kVZZxEPyBfluBhwbmmquCJuYSt2q7LO5ZQNnsShkkFSnN0TCffYJTgouqreOu=s320" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><p>The other main highlight this year has been the return of events. I hadn't realised how much I would miss them until there were pretty much no art/craft fairs for 12 months or more. They all started with the mighty <b>Craft Festival</b> at Bovey Tracey, Devon, in early September. I love this event. It is really more like a cool music festival, except the music is swapped for the best art and craft in the UK (there is some music too). There were lots of visitors who had clearly missed connecting with craft and it was so nice to see so many art and craft friends I hadn't seen in such a long time. Big-ups also to the brilliant <b>Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair</b> in Manchester and <b>Craft Fair Contemporary</b> in Nottingham for putting on brilliantly curated events with great atmospheres too! I'm very grateful indeed to have good pal Ben Partridge (of <b>The Owlery</b>) as my travel buddy for most of these events. We have travelled many miles and had so many daft conversations.</p></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks to everyone who also came to <b>Sheffield Print Fair 2021</b> too (the event I co-organise). after a year out, and a new venue (The Millennium Gallery) we couldn't have asked for a better and busier event!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">My final exciting 'thing' has been building a new studio, in our old garage. It was a smelly, damp spider-den for many years, and I decided this year to convert it into a screen-print studio. I still have my lino studio, but this new one will be just for screen-printing. It has taken quite a while, with some serious damp-proofing and building work (not done by me, obviously!), and some of the equipment I needed has taken a while to arrive, but I'm pretty much there. Thanks to Studio Waterhouse and Hunk Print for their help. I just need to put up a load of shelves and I'm there, I think. So I'm really looking forward to a very productive 2022!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh0FAddqF24k0jBo9QVlESlE7LbLMLWHeIN6napkwqGKj3ahSOzUICuW7WJE43hzbuILWb_iDWATtr6C1-8oBlVWYXnm6ozZKfQiyZyn7dTouC6ZP_kxMVdrV6AZwNo5LiPZpOjM0GyNcctwAunEk9CR1I6Y4UqyRm1Uy8-RwECJEejO-PuWis1Ql7L=s2448" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2448" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh0FAddqF24k0jBo9QVlESlE7LbLMLWHeIN6napkwqGKj3ahSOzUICuW7WJE43hzbuILWb_iDWATtr6C1-8oBlVWYXnm6ozZKfQiyZyn7dTouC6ZP_kxMVdrV6AZwNo5LiPZpOjM0GyNcctwAunEk9CR1I6Y4UqyRm1Uy8-RwECJEejO-PuWis1Ql7L=w255-h255" width="255" /></a></div><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjS_ybNVyUeCKH7QNt-VYny8xm2VqE61Uxrr1TGU35yG86iR6GKUVIdKdEbRAO8vgJgI7A-_k3DFczvlZiBoeklXzNUIsiU4hQ4iSnfkR7hR7UH2NYQnzuXJZsgdFi2vGQRsZyvtEThhvRJnoq8LfXb7VZhbWs7M8ikrLZtajKp4TZA3ZFsG3-ZhKXi=s2447" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2447" data-original-width="2447" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjS_ybNVyUeCKH7QNt-VYny8xm2VqE61Uxrr1TGU35yG86iR6GKUVIdKdEbRAO8vgJgI7A-_k3DFczvlZiBoeklXzNUIsiU4hQ4iSnfkR7hR7UH2NYQnzuXJZsgdFi2vGQRsZyvtEThhvRJnoq8LfXb7VZhbWs7M8ikrLZtajKp4TZA3ZFsG3-ZhKXi=w254-h254" width="254" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks for your support throughout this year.

Sorry...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">A few months ago I got talking with my friends Ben from <a href="https://www.theowlery.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Owlery</a> and Charlotte from <a href="https://thestitchsociety.com/" target="_blank">The Stitch Society</a> about doing some kind of textile collaboration. I have done a couple of textile projects before (designing fabric for baby carriers for Sleepy Nico, and t-shirts for Hunk Print), but I was hungry for more!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://thestitchsociety.com/" target="_blank">The Stitch Society</a> produce artisan workwear, bags, masks, aprons, smocks and all sorts of lovely garments. Their pieces are really well designed and are clearly not just 'workwear'!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">They both encouraged me to go for it and before too long I had designed a repeat pattern that could be used on fabric. I wanted to create two different garments, both workwear, but perhaps one that could also be used in a non-work setting too, so a smock and an apron were settled on!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">At the same time, I had applied for a grant from the Freelance Fund in Sheffield, who were offering small grants to creatives in the city for new projects. I proposed this textile project, and at a scale where it would be more than just a 'try out'. A month or so later I found out that I had been successful, so the sewing machines could start revving up!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I created a repeat pattern based on my donkey theme called 'The Donkey Woods'. This took some time! I'm not going to explain here how you create a repeat pattern, but it isn't easy, especially working with lino. So, once the design was complete, I had the fabric manufactured (255gsm cotton drill fabric) and took it along to Charlotte's fantastic studio, which is in Salts Mill in Saltaire, West Yorkshire (also home to a Hockney Gallery and the best book shop in the world). I then let the Stitch Society weave their magic and the smock and apron appeared!</span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMHKYTSaiysDp76jTWZuRLf73vLHE7-dzg6j3RDYyhbZnC-c6ek5fzRLlIoAUQFg6KpJunY_ZRleWGLFErJAYI4kA9XgDxMjpkX6peRlYn6pedg2p8GdD-1xFo2NFbvzV2IMtR00ow-Qc/s2000/donkey+woods+wip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="2000" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMHKYTSaiysDp76jTWZuRLf73vLHE7-dzg6j3RDYyhbZnC-c6ek5fzRLlIoAUQFg6KpJunY_ZRleWGLFErJAYI4kA9XgDxMjpkX6peRlYn6pedg2p8GdD-1xFo2NFbvzV2IMtR00ow-Qc/w624-h313/donkey+woods+wip.jpg" width="624" /></a></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">So, here is <b><a href="https://folksy.com/items/7760481-The-Donkey-Woods-cotton-smock" target="_blank">'Donkey Woods' smock</a></b>, available in small/medium and large (exact sizes on the Folksy page).

Neither of these prints was really planned. I was just drawing away in my sketchbook one minute, and next I'm at the vacuum bed, squeegee in hand! Well, obviously I had to think about the layers and colours, but they all just came together so quickly. I've never worked in bright colours before, and wanted to experiment with colour transparencies. There is something quite magical about creating colours from overlaying other colours, and often with screenprinting, you never know exactly the colours you are going to get! So <b>HDW No.6</b> came along first, as a 3-colour print (with all the overlays actually creating seven colours!). It is an A2 size print, in an edition of 30. I had so much fun creating this one, that I decided to create a smaller accompanying print <b>HDW No.7</b>. The same colour scheme, just a smaller and more concise landscape, in an edition of 35. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I think maybe the choice of bright colours was due to the slight hope and optimism in the air with the Covid situation and the news of vaccinations and lowering infection rates.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Both are in my <a href="https://folksy.com/shops/jamesgreenprintworks/collections/237249-screen-print-donkeys" target="_blank">Folksy shop</a>.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><a href="https://folksy.com/items/7681188-Housemartins-A3-poster-print" target="_blank">Housemartins</a></b></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjjeJHav7HyeZ9zBeUpqhj05qM4vPK04iz0ZLCBwZhlj1P_XDiXW2hJsGnVkIyNNn-p1FfWpjV42EiSdfm7dkyHpYj5W-T5tttmTzeBsKB7mz8XVrrQ0g9gURwMTrWMQih2I2jTcSxKNQ/s908/housemartin+%2528full%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="908" data-original-width="642" height="639" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjjeJHav7HyeZ9zBeUpqhj05qM4vPK04iz0ZLCBwZhlj1P_XDiXW2hJsGnVkIyNNn-p1FfWpjV42EiSdfm7dkyHpYj5W-T5tttmTzeBsKB7mz8XVrrQ0g9gURwMTrWMQih2I2jTcSxKNQ/w451-h639/housemartin+%2528full%2529.jpg" width="451" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Following on from my Swallows and Swifts prints, it would have felt rude not to include the housemartins too!

As you may know, on the donkey adventures, they are helped occasionally by some mysterious hands. Well, in this print, one lone donkey has stumbled across a whole load of them, all ready and eager to help. The print is an A4 size two-colour screenprint, printed on lovely Antique White Seawhite paper, in two versions, each in an edition of 17. They are available in my <a href="https://folksy.com/shops/jamesgreenprintworks/collections/237249-screen-print-donkeys" target="_blank">Folksy shop</a>.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">However there are actually fewer of the red/blue ones available, as I've entered the print into the latest Imprinted Instagram print swap (@im_printed). The theme is 'circle', so this seemed pretty apt! The idea is that you give ten of your prints, and in return you get a print from ten other artists on the same theme. no idea what I will receive in return, but I like a surprise.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>james greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14827398819325088748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517890366279035090.post-14037920950671943322020-11-04T03:26:00.003-08:002020-11-04T03:27:20.662-08:00Lots of new prints!<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Hi there</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Well, in lieu of the usual happenings at this time of year (lots of events), instead I have a load of new prints to show you! One small positive about this awful covid situation is that I've had time to work on and develop new ideas. More birds, more stones and, of course, more donkeys....</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">So there are clearly no live events taking place for the rest of the year. This is obviously the right thing to be doing, but I have to say I do miss travelling around, bumping into fellow artists/crafters and seeing the friendly faces of the visitors. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've got lots of new works to show you this month, however no news on events and workshops. It is likely that events might not happen until the end of the year now, and most probably workshops too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>NEW EXHIBITION!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Despite the current Covid 19 situation I've been focussing myself on producing new work, mostly for an exhibition I have upcoming in Sheffield at <a href="http://www.cupolagallery.com/" target="_blank">Cupola Contemporary Art Gallery</a>. The exhibition is a collection of work I have chosen from the last two years, and focusses mainly on my stone and donkey prints. It is called <b>'Works 2018-2020' </b>(very functional title, eh?), and features 20 pieces, including 7 new ones. Alongside the exhibition is another show by my friend and fellow printmaker <b><a href="https://johnapedder.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">John Pedder</a></b>, showing a retrospective of his work. The shows runs from <b>18th July</b> until <b>22nd August 2020</b>, and the preview evening is on <b>17th July</b> between <b>6pm and 10pm</b>. In order to attend this you'll need to book a time slot by <a href="http://www.cupolagallery.com/contact" target="_blank">contacting the gallery</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here is a video of me talking to gallery director Karen Sherwood about the exhibition:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of the prints is featured on the exhibition poster, and is a collaboration between myself and John. We printed up a small edition of 27, and they are available from the show and our own websites. The print is woodcut, linocut and screen-print! If you can't make it along to the exhibition and would like one of the new prints, I will list any that are left in my <b>Folksy</b> shop.</span><br />

live (I'm sure you do too). Rather than go for a single bird this time,
and one standing, I wanted to capture them in flight, and in the
acrobatic troops you sometimes see them in. The print is now available
as an A3 poster-print. You can find it in my <a href="https://folksy.com/items/7505666-Swallows-A3-poster-print" style="color: #336699;" target="_blank"><strong>Folksy</strong></a> shop.</span><br />

the change of colours and scale on this one, for some reason! You can

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For two weeks in June I had the fortune of
painting a great big fibreglass bear in a warehouse on the outskirts of
Sheffield It is for a charity project called <a href="https://www.tchc.org.uk/how-you-can-help/bears-of-sheffield/" style="color: #336699;" target="_blank"><strong>'Bears Of Sheffield</strong></a><span style="color: firebrick;"><a href="https://www.tchc.org.uk/how-you-can-help/bears-of-sheffield/" style="color: #336699;"><strong>'</strong></a></span>,
which is a follow-up to the 'Herd Of Sheffield' elephant project I also
took part in a few years ago. 40 or so artists from around the county
are asked to transform a blank bear into a piece of art, and they will
then be displayed as a 'trail' around the city for people to look at. At
the end of the trail period all of the bears will be auctioned off to
raise money for the Sheffield Children's Hospital<span style="color: firebrick;">. </span>Because
of Covid, the trial has now been postponed until the summer of 2021,
but I'm sure it'll be worth waiting for! Here is sneak preview of my
finished bear.</span>james greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14827398819325088748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517890366279035090.post-84413351148777339442020-04-14T03:40:00.000-07:002020-04-14T03:42:05.629-07:00How things change..<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hi there</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well, last time I posted, it was before Christmas, and life was very different. If someone had explained about the situation we are in now, I'm not sure I would have believed them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm not going to go over things you already know about Coronavirus, but I hope that you're all ok, and hope that this all ends before too long. Stay safe.</span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>EVENTS</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I don't have any events going on over the next few months. Understandably they're all cancelled/postponed (as far as September/October). In lieu of this, I am focussing my time on making new work and on my online shops. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>NEW WORKS</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Initially it hadn't felt like a very productive time for making new work, with the anxiety about the epidemic, but life has setting into a new routine and I've started making new work again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here are some of them:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><a href="https://folksy.com/items/7437886-Chough-three-colour-linocut-print" target="_blank">'Chough'</a></b> is my latest corvid print (following on from the ravens, rooks and magpies). I saw some when I last visited North Wales, swooping around the Little Orme. They're quite hard to identify, but if they stay still for a minute you can see their striking red beak and legs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I spotted a '<b><a href="https://folksy.com/items/7420165-Pied-Wagtail-two-colour-linocut-print" target="_blank">Pied Wagtail'</a></b> in our garden not long ago, and I don't think I'd ever actually seen one before. He/she was doing a little dance, and very striking in its monochrome pattern.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The <b>Tiny Donkey Prints</b> were made for a special project with the</span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <a href="https://makemorestuff.com/shop/tinyprints" target="_blank">'Make More Stuff'</a> </b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">organisation (formerly 'Northern Craft'). they asked 20 artists they knew to design artwork the size of a business card, and they would sell them for £1 each. I created a new donkey triptych, and was very happy with the results. you can buy them directly through </span><a href="https://makemorestuff.com/shop/tinyprints" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">MMS</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I visited <b><a href="https://folksy.com/items/7397610-St-Ives-two-colour-A3-linocut-screen-print" target="_blank">St Ives</a></b> last year for the first time, and really loved the place. The highlight was perhaps visiting the Barbara Hepworth Museum, but I also really loved the sea front and the beaches. So I decided to create a view from the shallows looking up towards the town and the lighthouse, as a linocut/screen-print.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lastly is a poster-print version of my <b><a href="https://folksy.com/items/7402843-Scarborough-No-2-A3-poster-print-light-blue-and-dark-blue-" target="_blank">'Scarborough No.2'</a></b> linocut. As the original had sold out I decided to create a poster-print version in different colours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have also been working on several other new pieces, possibly for a new exhibition (fingers crossed), but I want to keep them under wraps for now. I'll keep you posted!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As we're heading towards the end of the year, it is usually a time to slow down and recharge, but no(!), hot on the heels of my solo exhibition in Bamford and my appearance at the Woolwich Contemporary 2019, I'm now taking part in <b><a href="https://www.rheged.com/event/great-print-exhibition-5/" target="_blank">The Great Print Exhibition 2019</a></b> in Penrith!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is apparently the biggest exhibition of original print in the UK, featuring over 80 artists and over 500 artworks! I have six prints in the show; donkeys, dogs, birds and landscapes. It runs from <b>6th December 2019</b> until <b>8th March 2020</b> at Rheged Centre Redhills, Penrith Cumbria CA11 0DQ, and is open 10am-5pm each day.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a selection of some of the work on show (not including my own!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>LAST 2 EVENTS OF THE YEAR</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have two events left this year, and they are as follows:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><a href="https://www.welbeck.co.uk/experience/visit/the-welbeck-winter-weekend" target="_blank">Welbeck Winter Weekend</a></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Fri 22nd to Sun 24th November 2019, The
Welbeck Estate, Welbeck, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, S80 3LL, 10am-5pm
(fri & sat), 10am-4pm (sun)</u><br />
I'm returning to this great event for another year. Loads of great art and craft, and fine food and drink too. A quality event!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://www.winterartsmarket.com/" target="_blank">Winter Arts Market</a></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Sat 7th December 2019, Liverpool Cathedral, St James’ Mount, Liverpool L1 7AZ, 10am-7pm</u><br />
I've not done this event before but I hear good things! If it is anything like the Summer one is should be fab (no pun intended!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>NEW PRINT!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, I have one new print to tell you about, and it is a <a href="https://folksy.com/items/7354104-Barn-Owl-two-colour-linocut-print" style="color: #336699;" target="_blank"><strong>'Barn Owl'!</strong></a> It is a 2-colour linocut print, hand-pressed on A4 size paper, in an edition of 100. It is available now in my <a href="https://folksy.com/items/7354104-Barn-Owl-two-colour-linocut-print" style="color: #336699;" target="_blank">Folksy shop</a>.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>FINALLY...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A big THANK YOU, as ever for showing an interest in what I do. I know there are a million artists and printmakers out there, showing their work on numerous platforms, and it means a lot when people connect with my work. I feel very lucky to do what I do for a job (I still pinch myself after all these years), and I never take it for granted. I hope you all have a great festive break.</span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>NEW EXHIBITION</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have a new exhibition at </span><a href="http://anglers.rest/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">The Angler's Rest</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> in Bamford, Derbyshire. It is a print retrospective of work I have created in the last three years or so. The venue is a great community-run pub and gallery, right in the middle of the Peak District. The exhibition features seventeen pieces; birds, stones, donkey and landscapes, and runs from 4th October until 6th November 2019. there is also a 'meet the artist' evening on 3rd Oct from 7.30pm, if you want to say 'hi'!

It is actually based on a Sheffield view, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">but I wanted to make the image more as a typical British terrace street
scene; the patterns of windows, rooftops, chimneys, doors, clouds and
trees.</span><br />

I have a new collaboration to announce in the form of a t-shirt! I've
always wanted to create a donkey t-shirt, so I'm very excited about
this. Hunk Print are well known in Sheffield and beyond for being the #1
screen-printers in town. You name it, they can
print onto it! Anyway, we've collaborated on a 2-colour donkey design
on lovely fairtrade cotton t-shirts, and you can

It is entitled <b>'The Donkey Monoliths'</b>, and is a series of eight new linocut-screen-prints.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had the idea for the series a few months back, when mulling the idea over about further donkey prints and also wanting to incorporated some kind of sculpture in my work. So off I went to buy some Plasticene, and things started happening!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made several small sculptures on which I imagined the donkeys exploring as a landscape, as a continuation of the donkey-world I've featured previously. I felt it important to actually make the sculptures, rather than just imagine them this time, as I wanted to get a sense of solidity into the shapes, and make them look like convincing 3D-ish landscapes. I love abstract sculpture and I think this is my way of paying tribute to that.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So after I made the sculptures, I then photographed them, created linocuts, added the donkeys and then printed them finally as screen-prints. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The large prints (A2) are in a small edition of ten, and the smaller (A3) are an edition of fifteen. If there are any prints left over after the exhibition I'll put them in my Folksy shop. All are printed with System 3 inks on lovely Seawhite Antique White 290gsm paper.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some work-in-progress photos from the project.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is never a straightforward life being an artist, is it? Or being self-employed generally.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Life never trundles along at an even pace. Instead there are periods of calm, followed by mad panicking and self-doubt. It isn't that bad all the time, but the last few months have been a little testing at times. HOWEVER, I bring you news, some quite exciting news, really, oh plus some new prints.</span><br />

Playhouse.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have created a new series of prints where my donkeys
explore a sculptural landscape. Eight new linocut/screenprints, and a
small edition of each (between ten and fifteen copies). The exhibition
runs from <strong>13th June</strong> until <strong>2nd July 2019</strong>, with the preview evening on <strong>Thursday 13th June, 6-9pm</strong>. Any prints left over from the exhibition will be put in my Folksy shop. I'll blog more info soon, with some behind-the-scenes pics!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have two new prints to show you too.</span><br />

Firstly I have a new landscape print of <strong>'<a href="https://folksy.com/items/7265199-Polperro-Cornwall-two-colour-linocut-print" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Polperro'</a></strong>
in Cornwall. I visited last year while on holiday, and loved the place.
so I have created a two-colour hand-pressed linocut of a view across
the bay, in an edition of 100. The print is available in my <a href="https://folksy.com/items/7265199-Polperro-Cornwall-two-colour-linocut-print" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Folksy shop</a> and at events.<br />

Secondly, and due to popular demand, I have created a poster-print version of my <strong><a href="https://folksy.com/items/7267951-Olive-The-Whippet-A3-poster-print" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">'Olive The Whippet'</a></strong> linocut. It is A3 size, printed in a red/brown and grey, and available in my <a href="https://folksy.com/items/7267951-Olive-The-Whippet-A3-poster-print" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Folksy shop</a> and at events..</span><br />

talks and not least over 100 amazing artists and craftspeople. The
standard is pretty mind-blowing. This year I have a tent to myself, as I
am demonstrating linocutting. I will be cutting some new artwork, plus
doing some printing (with my portable press). I will also have my prints
available to buy too.<br />

is a super-friendly event too.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not going to apologise for the delay in my blog update. I think you're probably used to it by now. January has proved an interesting month. It is seen by a lot of creative people to be a month to get creative, as it is a fairly quiet time for events and selling in general. However this doesn't always work out. The pressure to create, just because it is January can prove very 'uncreative'. It can make things very tricky, a little like writers-block, I guess. You just have to relax and let the ideas come.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All this said, I have had a pretty creative month (phew)! I have created two (technically four) new prints and a new poster-print too.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So as it somehow gets to the end of another year (how does it get faster each time?), I just thought I'd let you know about a couple of new prints and a couple of other things.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>THANKS!</b></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before that, I'd like to thank you again for your support. Each year of being an artist is different from the last, and I can never really predict how things will go, but it has been a really interesting year. Having three exhibitions (<b>'Print!'</b>, <b>'Entering Donkey World'</b> and <b>'Extracurricular Activities'</b>) was something I couldn't have anticipated, but was very proud of. It was great working with Artfelt, Oriel Mostyn and A Month Of Sundays galleries, as well as artist Jonathan Wilkinson on the latter.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've done a whole load of brilliant fairs (and co-organised one!), and taken part in several new to me too. Heading to Devon with a bunch of other Sheffield makers for the Contemporary Craft Festival was really fun, and the scale of the event really took me by surprise.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Commissions have provided a variety of interesting challenges too, with a number of private ones (landscapes, animals), greeting cards, record sleeves and book covers.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been an interesting creative challenge this year making a load of new work, at the largest size that I've ever attempted, with more colours then I've ever attempted, and in a style quite different to that of my 'normal' work (my <a href="https://folksy.com/shops/jamesgreenprintworks/collections/276391-stone-compositions" target="_blank">'Stone Composition'</a> print series).</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, I'll stop waffling on. Here are a couple of new prints I have recently created:</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><a href="https://folksy.com/items/7192945-Magpie-two-colour-linocut-print" target="_blank">Magpie</a></b></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been meaning to create a magpie print for ages and I've finally done it! this is a two-colour linocut, alongside my other corvid prints (Raven, Jackdaw, Rook etc).</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNopRiu-OeVg3PAHlMaTnHNeJZmhwGiTnWM1ZFMcLLXjeeG3ynxeqQuniBuDFfpFx9VJvPQOlNYa_-KAdWMBZnTUzrfqTIrbGxrC5DX-IsFy0Lwv7_F7B8h9vw2DUnl1-1gMUc33b20kY/s1600/EXTRACURRICULAR+ACTIVITIES+POSTER+%2528lowres%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="842" data-original-width="595" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNopRiu-OeVg3PAHlMaTnHNeJZmhwGiTnWM1ZFMcLLXjeeG3ynxeqQuniBuDFfpFx9VJvPQOlNYa_-KAdWMBZnTUzrfqTIrbGxrC5DX-IsFy0Lwv7_F7B8h9vw2DUnl1-1gMUc33b20kY/s640/EXTRACURRICULAR+ACTIVITIES+POSTER+%2528lowres%2529.jpg" width="451" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is probably not the best kept secret but I've been 'covertly' working for the last year on a series of new prints that will be part of an exhibition running from 22nd September until 20th October 2018, at<a href="https://www.petemckee.com/a-month-of-sundays" target="_blank"> <b>A Month Of Sundays Gallery</b></a> in Sheffield alongside my friend and artist Jonathan Wilkinson (aka <a href="https://www.welivehere.co.uk/" target="_blank">We Live Here</a>). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The exhibition is entitled<b> 'Extracurricular Activities'</b> as we have both been working on new pieces that are very different to what we are known for. We didn't actually realise each other were doing this until we were discussing what we were up to a few months ago over a pint or two. It seemed entirely logical then to exhibit our new works together!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jonathan's pieces are semi-abstract paintings, and my new works are large screen-prints, based on drawings I have done of stones found on several beaches around the UK, including North Wales and Yorkshire. I have returned all of the stones to their respective beaches as part of the project, in case you were concerned!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have had an interest in abstract composition for years now, and felt the urge to work in this way, blowing up my small pen and pencil sketches to create large shapes, and then experiment with composition and colour.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The results are seven new screen-prints, six large scale (76x56cm) and one smaller (38x28cm), entitled <b>'Stone Compositions'</b>. All are between four and seven colour prints and printed on Somerset paper. The editions are very small, only ten of each print.</span><br />

It has been a real chalenge working non-figuratively and also with the complexity of the colours, overlays and registration. It was also very interesting working with the idea of abstraction and composition, and what feels 'right'. I hope to explore this area of my work further in the future.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A few weeks back I was commissioned to create a linocut for a vineyard in North Yorkshire called 'Ryedale Vineyards'. They wanted a print showing their vines, farmhouse and a fox that visits them every so often. Here is the print. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They used the print on their posters, flyers and even a special ordinance survey map!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway, they were a pleasure to work with, and seemed very happy with what I produced, and that was that, or so I thought....</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">..until I received a letter from them saying how much they liked the commission, and asking if I we'd like to come and visit the vineyard, do some wine-tasting and stay in their b&b accommodation for a night, for free!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So about three weeks ago my wife and I travelled up to Westow, North Yorkshire (not really that far Sheffield!). The countryside up there is beautiful, really idyllic rolling hills and big skies.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We were greeting by Michelle and John, the couple who run the vineyard and were given a potted introduction to vine-growing and wine-making and a tour of the vineyard/winery. I had no idea that the climate in the UK was warm enough for growing grapes, but apparently there are several species that thrive in the climate here.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm very drawn to the corvid bird family, so felt the urge to add to my collection with '<a href="https://folksy.com/items/7133026-Raven-two-colour-linocut-print" target="_blank">Raven</a>' and '<a href="https://folksy.com/items/7138586-Rook-two-colour-linocut-print" target="_blank">Rook</a>'. Both are two-colour linocut prints, in the same format as my previous corvids (Crow, Jackdaw and Blackbird(technically not a corvid!)). I really love working out the intricate patterns on these birds, which at first glance seem like a silhouette. They are both editions of 100, and available in my <a href="https://folksy.com/shops/jamesgreenprintworks" target="_blank">Folksy shop</a>.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is my new donkey print, entitled '<a href="https://folksy.com/items/7137770-Yellow-Donkey-Dream-three-colour-reduction-linocut-print" target="_blank">Yellow Donkey Dream</a>'. It is a three-colour reduction linocut (meaning that you cut each layer from the same lino block and can't go back and print any more. Due to the nature of the technique the edition is tiny, only 5 prints, and I have sold all but one print! If you're quick you might catch it in my <a href="https://folksy.com/items/7137770-Yellow-Donkey-Dream-three-colour-reduction-linocut-print" target="_blank">Folksy</a> shop.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This print might look familiar to some of you. That is because it is the first ever 'donkey' print I created, ten years ago! To celebrate this anniversary, I have a retrospective exhibition at the wonderful Oriel Mostyn art gallery in Llandudno, North Wales. There will be eighteen prints on display, some rare ones, my 'Donkey Jukebox film, and a I have created a new version of <b>'Donkeys Disturbed By A Meteor Shower'</b>, as a two-colour screen-print for the occasion. It will be available to buy from the exhibition (along with various other prints), and possibly online once the launch has happened too. The exhibition, entitled <b>'Entering Donkey World'</b> opens on 9th June 2018 and runs until September.</span><br />

March?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello there</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, I must admit. it hasn't been the most dynamic start to 2018 for me. I caught the flu lurgy that seems to have ensnared most people I know for a good two/three weeks (saved from going a bit crazy by the brilliant Winter Olympics), and that illness seemed to zap my creative impulses for a further while too. And then the snow came (I think I'll stop there).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HOWEVER, I feel that I'm back and almost up to full speed again. I've a new print, a couple of commissions to show you, and some great events coming up, as well as a new workshop date.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>NEW WORKS</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://folksy.com/items/7116590-Llandudno-two-colour-A3-linocut-screen-print" target="_blank">'Llandudno'</a> is my new landscape print. It is a two-colour A3 size linocut/screen-print. I created the image initially as a linocut, the printed the edition (of 60) manually as a screen-print at <a href="https://sheffieldprintclub.org/" target="_blank">Sheffield Print Club</a>. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The view is from the seafront at Llandudno looking towards the Great
Orme. In the foreground is a little of the Irish Sea, the beach, the seafront
with its many hotels, and behind it the mighty headland of the Orme,
with its winding roads and houses scattered around. Being part-Welsh, I
am very fond of this place and visit as often as I can!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is the finished print, and some pictures from the process of making it. I think it was probably the most complex landscape I've ever attempted! It is now for sale in my <a href="https://folksy.com/items/7116590-Llandudno-two-colour-A3-linocut-screen-print" target="_blank">Folksy shop</a>:</span><br />

The record label asked me to come up with some artwork for a new version of it that summed up the themes within, and also how it relates to human migration in modern times. I found this a fascinating project, and settled on three simple ideas; the relentless sea, a swimming migrant and the vessel that took the first convicts to Australia (HMS Success).</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That is....people who have commissioned me to produce artwork, people who have bought my prints, organisations who have chosen me to be part of their events, people who have come to my workshops, people who have simply emailed me to say they like my work, people who have supported my slightly niche projects(!) and just anyone who has shown an interest in what I do. I never take interest in my work for granted, and I feel very lucky indeed to be able to make a living from being an artist.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lastly, thanks to Ben Partridge (of <a href="http://www.theowlery.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Owlery</a>) for helping me get around to events all over the place. It is hugely appreciated!</span><br />
