In the exploration of printing in Riso, I made a few digital tests with previous illustrations. This one is in one ink with different intensities. Found a pretty sick print studio in Valencia and am thinking of making something specific for it. #art #illustration

Had some work up at the Shoreham Centre with the West Sussex Art Society.

This was a fun idea!

I'm one of the performers for Hats OFF at @brightonfringe.bsky.social , this Saturday the 31st at the Roost. #brighton #poetry #brightonfringe www.brightonfringe.org/events/hats-...

I think that, as mid-life crises go, this one is pretty harmless.

New print for the next issue of the 100 Words zine...

I'd literally have no idea idea on who to contact about this, and I'm pretty sure some of my esteemed mutuals will have been on it like Sonic behind the scenes already, but if Skybound do need any extra bits and bobs and and anyone is aware of that, I've got both good scans and all issues.

RIP, George. I know this was a dvd extra, but it’s a fitting tribute. Head ‘em up! Move ‘em out! youtu.be/Q28MilXHPIQ?...

He brought peace... to space.

Just a girl and her bundle of baby clones she's wearing like an ass turban 🥹 My population of Schizomida (parthenogenic tailless whipscorpions) are so happy in their box of dirt. As always, tending a box of dirt is such a good decision and I recommend it.

The ink layer and the gouache layer are complete. I traced them onto separate acetates layers over a printout of the digital drawing. Now to develop these onto screens and print!

yes, yesss. the print has become real.

New screenprint process. One layer is ink + meths applied with a fountain pen and brush. The second layer is acrylic gouache applied with brush. On Thursday I'll print this sucker.

I'm buggin' out. 🪰💀 #ink #illustration #drawing #art #horrorart #punkart

A mysterious process continues

This quality burger restaurant angered the wrong hombres.
