I’ve been encouraged to join the Facebook community.  Turning up old friends and contacts already.  This blog should appear there, if the technology works.  Let’s see.  Should also find us on Myspace and Linkedin, and might even get some songs on Youtube.  All this from a medieval cowshed in Devon!!

I can’t believe where the second half of November went.  Seems we’re working around the clock at the moment.  ”Big Noise” promo stuff went to print, as did WQ tide tables.  Most new work is scan and print, with a fantastic portrait to reproduce for my great friend and mentor, John Raynes.  This 4′ oil had to be scanned and printed as big as possible – which we did –  and is now winging it’s way to the south of France.

We’ve also been printing for a lovely new artist, Gretta Barclay.  She used to design fabrics and we’ve reproduced a set of poppy paintings on canvas panels.  They look incredible.  I’ve also scanned a set of hedgerow studies, 12 in all, with the December one going to a client already. See below.

Thinking about a show for next year now and talking to a couple of artists about collaborating and taking the show “up-country”. Let’s see what happens.
