New year, new ideas...

Hi there

The start of the year (so they say) is supposed to be a good time for working on new ideas, as it is fairly quiet for events etc, but this doesn't always work out, as you end up sometimes putting too much pressure on yourself to create (the blank canvas problem). However, this year has started well!

I have been working on 4 new prints, two of which are here. The other two are under wraps for now.. 

New Prints

'Donkey Treasury No.1 & No.2'

I had an idea just around the end of last year to create a print containing a collection of artifacts from the mysterious 'donkey world', evidence of ancient donkey civilisations, including helping hands, monoliths and more. Several drawing later and I came up with the 'treasuries'!

Both prints are A4 two-colour screenprints, on 300gsm Seawhite acid-free paper, in editions of 28, in ochre/grey and light green/grey. Both are £25 each, and in my Folksy shop.
