I've got my biggest sale of the year running this weekend. All items are 'seconds', so they have some slight imperfections, but everything is at least 50% off. www.or8design.com/shop

lf you were one of the cool kids who came along to my open studio, you'll have already seen these (and maybe even printed your own). But, if not, these A5-sized screenprints are out now.

New gig poster for Taking Back Sunday headlining @2000trees.bsky.social in just one week!
A gig poster for the band Taking Back Sunday who are headlining the 2000 Trees Festival. The image is looking out of a tent opening on to a couple who are sat close together, in front of a fire that's burnt out. On the side of the tent walls are stars and a moon.

Fancy having a nosey around the studio? Having a bash at screenprinting? A free goodie bag (if you're early)? Im having an Open Studio event on Saturday 19th July, and you're invited. It's free entry, but please book a ticket www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/or8design-...

In a coffee shop in Sheffield. Jessica Ennis asked if she could take the seat next to me. I apologised and said it was taken. She was very understanding.

At this time of year, the best art is the art you can take with you when you're out and about. So, here are two new pin badges, ready to attach to your favourite shirt, blouse, bag, jacket or whatever else while you're off having fun over the summer.

It's taken a few days to get back into my normal routine after a lovely holiday, but it's time to get going again. A new gig poster to start, wholesale orders to pack and the North Wales Print Fair this weekend to prepare for

I have a Spring Sale starting today. Spring always seems a good time to sort things out, clear out some space on the shelves and start working on what's new (it won't be long until I'm thinking about calendar and Christmas ideas!). So, there is 20% (or more) off everything in the shop.

I took some new headshots. I did it on my own, and it took a very long time 🤣

Give this a share if you can - the prompt this week is your #favouritepiece Some great work has been shared already! If you search the tag #printpromptmonday you can have a look 🩷 #printmaking #art #artshare #illustration #woodcut #linocut #intaglio #screenprinting #etching
The graphic for this weeks print prompt Monday! It shows three relief print motifs - a rabbit with a long medieval trumpet, a lady doing yoga and a weird bird. From the trumpet the words “print prompt monday” are emanating. In the top left it states that this weeks prompt is “favourite piece” 
The graphic has an off white background and the details are in a bright red and muted teal.

This #printpromptmonday prompt is #favouritepiece & although I don't tend to have favourites (I find flaws in them all equally) this #screenprint of our cat Sylvie is up there with my favourites. It captures what I'm trying to achieve with my prints; simple, clean designs but still with emotion.

I've spent a glorious sunny day in the cabin, trying not to melt while screenprinting these today #screenprint #screenprinting ##or8design

I struggled to think of something #magic for today's #printpromptmonday. But, the Northern Lights are pretty magical, right? And a constant source of inspiration. This is a 3 colour #screenprint, with a green/purple split fountain. (You may notice these aren't my hands holding the print)

After literally years of having them on the to-do, I finally have some new embroidered patches. I love all the classic camping patches and badges, and I wanted these to resemble something you might find in a dusty corner of a thrift store. #patch #embroideredpatch ##thegreatoutdoors

A closer look at my new Runswick Bay print. The last time we visited, we stayed in the white house, right at the top of the hill. It had a beautiful view across the rooftops and to the beach

A print celebrating one of my favourite places. If you've never been to Runswick Bay, I'd absolutely recommend it. #screenprint #screenprinting #or8design #Runswick

A little look at how my recent print of #Staithes came together. I'm pretty new to screenprinting more then 3 or 4 colours, so printing 6 presented some extra challenges with registration. #screenprint #screenprinting #handprinted #or8design

Although it's a faff, I do love adding the little embossed logo as a finishing touch to all my screenprints #screenprint #printedbyhand

I've been meaning to get involved in the #printpromptmonday for a while, so here goes. For #inprogress here in a glimpse of a new Runswick print. The printing is done, but I'm putting off the worst bits... trimming, signing, numbering, and embossing them all.

It was pretty damn exciting to go into Asda last night and see this beer I designed on the shelves. It's part of a new series of Asda craft beers, combining independent breweries and local artists, and they teamed me up with Kirkstall Brewery (which I was very happy with).

Hey folks! I'm Owen, and I design and screenprint as OR8DESIGN. Mainly outdoorsy themed minimal prints and pins, featuring cabins, camping, campervans, and cottages. With the odd gig poster thrown in for good measure. #design #screenprint #screenprinting #gigposters
