I've been extremely slack with my real tomatoes this year, but at least my prints are vibrant 😁🍅

I ended up not enjoying the really darkest layer, it looked very outliny and a bit too graphic so I stopped and kept it at the 7th layer. I've really enjoyed the painterly quality of this and moving forward its something I'd like to focus on. Printed with a cold press laminator on Strathmore Printmaking paper with caligo safewash. I photographed the tomatoes and used the referance photo along the journey and using referance from real life remains important to me.

I've done an intensive month of tomatoes and for the next 11 months I'm taking a monthly theme and using that to explore and push my skills. My themes are centred around food, produce, nature and wildlife. My adhd brain needs this structure! My next theme (I've not announced this anywhere else yet 👀) is going to be 'Cider Orchard' . Apple trees, fruits, blossom, cider, I've got a cut crystal tankard arriving this week for a referance - those reflections will be fun 😁 Possibly the coddling moth might make an appearance, they ruin all my bastard apples! Also apple crumble and custard - nuff said 😋

It is of course coming up to harvest time, we're losing swathes of orchards across the UK to land grabs and I'm hoping to do a cheeky trespass onto an abandoned orchard near where I live and do some scrumping 😈

Thanks for the support on this one guys!

As requested! Budget friendly studio space in the living room that I share with the family. The desks are ikea but I've forgotten which name! I keep one drawer exclusively for clean paper and arty sundries in the other. You can kinda see where ive screwed on a L shaped bit of chipboard to the desk so that I can attach the clamps for my light and camera stand/phone (Elgato flex arm, this was worth spending the money on as its pulled about all day every day). If you found this video helpful consider sharing your space - I'd love to see!

EVENTUALLY we'd love to live in a house where me and my wife can share a workspace in a dedicated room.

Another 3 layers to go 😁

I had fun with this 7 layer reduction. The gingham ended up a little looser than I would have hoped but that colour 😍💚 Printed with caligo safewash on battleship. Inspired by gorgeous yellow/purple tomatoes like Alice's Dream and Purple Sunrise.

4 varieties on the go - Baby Boo, Jack Be little, Uchiki Kuri and Candy Roaster, gonna be a good year!

Mushroom central here.

This was a cute one and I love my new name stamp

Hot as balls here but enjoyed the mushrooms 🍄

Working with the soft shades pallete from caligo, going to be a fun one!

Easy carve and speedball fabric.

I'm on the village garden safari today listed as 'bomb proof gardening on a budget'. Lots of 'in progress' areas but I wanted to show up as a person on a lower income.

Why do dragonflies get to hoard the metallic?

Fairlight = village near me.

With versacraft ink pads, I'm really enjoying them!
