How the creative process works: 1. Observe snow out the window at the end of March. 2. Remember weather forecast said ‘chance of snow’. 3. Feel exceedingly pleased with oneself for reversing that to make ‘snow of chance’. 4. Decide to superimpose both phrases on top of each other as part of daily art exercise. 5. Notice there’s a much more interesting but in the middle. 6. Show that bit instead and pretend it was what you were intending to do all along. 7. Remember: DON’T tell anyone about that snow thing. #art #artprocess #theartistatwork #collage #textart #typography #print #printmaking #design #retrosupply #snow #weather (at London, United Kingdom)

The new print on the Standard Designs website takes the phrase ‘Too Shocking For Words, We Present It Only As Pictures’ and turns it into a lovely collage-y picture… made out of words. Oh the irony! Great big bold colourful stuff for any lover of the printed word.

Do you ever feel the world would be a better place if only people would just stop doing stupid stuff? So do we. That’s why we created this print, in association with the Dagenham & Upminster North Gardeners (DUNG) and the Middlesex/Uxbridge Local Conservationists & Horticulturalists (MULCH). It’s available on the Standard Designs website - but because it’s pro-peace and pro-generally-being-decent-to-one-another the algorithms will probably take it down soon, so grab one while you can…

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)

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.
