Pulp Fiction

As well as my own work I have a shop on Etsy selling reproductions of a wide range of graphic design, maps, comics, travel posters, advertisements etc. I’ve started playing with some of these, removing text and making freestanding pictures from them. You can see examples below.

My Etsy shop referred to above has now closed. See this post for more details. These and others will eventually be added to the shop here. If you are interested, please contact me for more details

Lattice – drypoint on prepared paper.

I have already posted the ‘basic’ version of this, (here) which is available in an edition of five. This is a one-off experiment in printing over prepared paper, in this case washes of acrylic paint plus some acrylic ink. I suppose this makes it a monoprint – or perhaps it is mixed media?

As an experiment, it’s worth recording, but I don’t think the prepared paper really works in this instance.

Monotypes

I made these two small monotypes as test pieces when I bought my press and feel they worked out well. They are both now sold, so clearly it wasn’t just me…

Upper Teesdale – collagraph monoprint.

A collagraph print called ‘Upper Teesdale’. It is part of a series of prints evoking memories of landscapes and places experienced in the past. These formed the core of a show called ‘The Landscape of Memory’ that I self curated at the Black Swan Art Centre in Frome. It has not been produced as an edition, each print being treated as a monoprint.
