Owl screen print - Pink and blue

Following my post on my green and blue Caslon Owl, here is the same owl in a Pink and blue colourway.

This little chap has a body made from characters from the Caslon font, a serif font originally designed by William Caslon in the 1700s, and printed in black.  The rest of him is printed using bright pink and pale blue acrylic inks overprinted to create more colours.

This is a limited edition of 8 prints, some have got leaves around and some havn't.
You can buy now it in my folksy shop; welaughindoors now! Also if you like what you see and would like to be kept up to date with my latest screen printing activities why not become a fan of mine on facebook :) or follow me on Pinterest.

Owl Screen Print - Green and blue

Behold my latest Screen print creation, the Green and Blue Caslon owl, do you think he is cute?

This little chap has a body made from characters from the Caslon font, a serif font originally designed by William Caslon in the 1700s, and printed in black.  The rest of him is printed using bright green and cyan acrylic inks overprinted to create more colours.

This is a limited edition of 9 prints, but there are other colours to come.

Pick Me Up Exhibition Part 1

On Saturday I visited Pick Me Up, a Contemporary Graphic Art Fair at Somerset House in London. The exhibition runs until this sunday and is well worth a look if you're nearby!
The art fair featured mostly screen printed work, collage and illustration. It was a great place to get ideas and also buy some yummy prints for my house.
Here are some of my favourites from the day.

Jon McNaught has done some lovely nature inspired prints, and was featured in the Pick me up selects section.

Yoko Michishita was also featured in the Pick me up selects section of the show, She works mainly in pencil on these delicate drawings.

The next artists that caught my eye were Zim & Zou, a french duo who create beautiful creatures and three-dimensional artwork.

I was really looking forward to seeing some of my favourite artists, Peskimo. Here's one of their latest prints that they have on sale at the show, called Catnaps.

This is the Puck Studio section, who are a creative print studio from East London, they had a very creative stall area, which I managed to ruin by releasing one of the helium balloons by mistake! oops.

Owl collaged screen print - V&A museum paper

I've used my much loved Caslon Owl (see older post) design for some screen prints, some are screen printed with three colours. My favourite however are my collaged versions, where I made the body background design from various different paper stocks, and then I screen printed the Caslon bit (the letters which make up the body) in black paint on the top.

I'm really pleased with the results, I did four different versions with different papers so watch this space, more to come!

Drawn text

Felt like doing some drawing so I decided to illustrate this lyric from The Smiths.

An artist I like

This guy's work is so cool, thought I'd share, in case any one else likes it too! I wish I could come up with something like this, I am jealous as I so often am!
