I resorted to my favourite view of the abbey from near the whale bones, instead

Nice, I started an illustration of the same view and abandoned it. Yours looks much better 🤣

It's the perfect antidote to my brother-in-law who is forever bemoaning 'twats with stats', and saying that Wales would be world dominaters if they just threw it around a bit, like JPR, JJ, Gareth etc. 🤣

I tried. My screen popped. It was clearly a sign to give up for today.

Good: the number of upturned collars on the UBB players. You can't fail to be fun when you look like that!

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

It feels like it's taken a few years off my life, but my 2026 Calendar is out, and has 10% this weekend to celebrate www.or8design.com/shop/2026-ca...

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
View of the island of Zakynthos from the top of a hillside on a sunny day with bright blue sky.

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.

A look at just how long it took!

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

We have a basket of leaves near our front door due to this very situation! I will slowly release them back out into the wild 🤣

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 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)
A screenprint of a cabin in the woods with the Northern Lights in the background. The print is being held in two hands.
