Printing artwork in black ink over top of test prints to turn them into something new. Each one unique. I'll chuck these up in my shops in the new year.

Couple more screenprint designs for #PublicServiceBroadcasting - for their EU and North America dates. My last poster designs of the year... but I'm sure there'll be plenty more to come.

Recent work for #PublicServiceBroadcasting - set of 2 screen prints to commemorate their performances at the London Barbican.
Posters sold out at the show, few left on my own shops.

Tidying up folders, found a sketch that reminded me of @aptshadow.bsky.social's Final Architecture series.

Obsession 14: Posters reveal the design spirit of each era
I noticed how every generation of poster artists unconsciously documented their era's visual language.

Last week I was in a sauna in a wooden shack on a fjord in Bergen. Without my specs, the lights from the other side of the fjord made the most incredible bokeh. A really strange optical experience, like a hologram floating in front of my eyes... but of course only I could actually see it that way.

The ruin of Top Withins off in the distance on Haworth Moor. Very quick little sketch in water soluble ink.
The summer business has meant painting has taken a backseat but hoping to return to these little sketches.

I designed and printed this for the band Los Campesinos! who were one of my highlights at Green Man Festival this year. The poster sold out but preorders are open for a reprint - details here:

A real honour to create artwork for Kneecap; a screen printed gig poster to commemorate their energetic performance at Green Man this year. These sold out at the festival but are still available from the band's online merch store.

Hello folks! It's been a very busy few months for me and I've drifted away from social media use as a result. I'll be posting more of what I've been up to soon...

I created a short edition of screen prints from my Snowdon / Yr Wyddfa pen & ink drawing.
These are available in my online shops now (linked from my main armyofcats site). Cheers!

Someone local bought some of my art and I took a short but enjoyable walk through the village to hand deliver it.
I feel moved and energised by this simple transaction, a welcome respite from spinning out about the state of everything else.

Lots on at the moment so I'm restless and doodling.
Enjoyed sketching with this water soluble brush pen last night while watching that new fan-made version of Alien 3.

The Yorkshire Three Peaks. All being well I'll soon have a new print celebrating the route taking in all three fells - just in time for this year's Three Peaks Fell race, where I'll be showing and selling my landscape silkscreen prints.

Another #printpromptmonday contribution, this time something a couple of yrs old for the theme #foliage, a tour poster for folk duo First Aid Kit.
While out for a run, daydreaming and admiring trees, I imagined the foliage blossoming into giant flowers.

A while back a scientist friend hired me to draw some illustrations for his PhD. Just came across an alternate version of one of them - this is the Leeds University Parkinson Building. I worked a temp admin job here long ago and would sit on the big steps to have lunch.
