Remembering that time I drew Ernest Hemingway as a sack of potatoes/slab of granite. Prints are available on the website. Or, as Hemingway might have written, “Prints were still available from the website, and they were good prints and they hung on the wall well, and in the springtime with the mountains in the distance we did not go to the mountains, and the prints were still on the wall and they were good prints, and they were available from the website”. #printsavailablefromwebsite #hemingway #ernesthemingway #writer #writers #novelist #modernist #modernistliterature #literature #books #igreads #booklover #bookstagram #portrait #penandink #blackandwhite #print #homedecor #interioirinspo #standarddesigns (at London, United Kingdom)

Wherein I write the word ‘flowers’ until I find one that has the right amount of wrong (because too wrong doesn’t make a right). #artphilosophy #lettering #handlettering #print #printmaking #art #flowers #gardening #textart #artprocess (at London, United Kingdom)

Today’s artishtic tinkering is ‘G for Gorilla’, the simple story of when old encyclopaedia met photocopier met sandpaper met wooly jumper (it’s a specialist technique I’ve developed, very hush-hush) met Photoshop and finally met itself four times.

Strong colour overlay effort from the workmen down the road this morning. Keep on optically blending, lads! ✊🎨🚧

A quick half hour on the photocopier today using the @nationaltheatre January 1980 programme (courtesy of @oliverwoodsphoto ) summoned up a rather spectral image of the seating plan for the Olivier Theatre (so spectral in fact that the seat prices - which will make you CRY with nostalgia - have disappeared into the analogue/digital fog). Anyway a bit of jiggery-pokery and it’s transformed into this little visual ditty.

Brutalist enthusiasts! I snapped a couple of pics of the Trellick Tower while walking in west London last week, and I’ve used them in today’s photocopier workout. #goldfinger

Looks like @transportforlondon have started putting up signs naming various shades of green.

Some bits of a print I’ve been working on. It’s gone from Fresco on the iPad to Photoshop to the photocopier (several times) to Photoshop (again) then to Illustrator, and I haven’t even got to the part where I crochet it with leeks or something. Now THAT’S an ‘artistic process’, fact fans! #art #process #adobefresco #photoshop #illustrator #photocopy #photocopier #photocopyart #flowers #floralart #floral #botanical #botanicalart #flora #printmaking #silkscreen #retrosupplyco #truegrittexturesupply #adobe (at London, United Kingdom)
