Happy Christmas, 2015
I thought it might be a good time to send out a blog post on my Patreon page, to mark the end of the year, and let you know a little more about what I've been working on. Maybe you'll be able to find a quiet moment over the holidays to have look at some of the content, here's hoping!
Patreon Experimental Print Club
I've just started using Patreon to host a new, very particular Experimental Print Club. Somewhere along the way it seemed like a really good idea to start making more ephemeral, experimental print work, to set alongside the larger pieces I'm making with Perspex and laser technologies.

A little like a bunch of cut flowers from your garden, fabulous, but transient, to be replaced by new blooms in the not too distant future...
