bears & bananas

Thanks to everyone who came to the Bear flat open weekend. I was attempting to get lots of animals drawn in preparation for a new print. I spent end of last week printing it for the Affordable Art Fair in Hampstead which opens on thursday 13th june- sunday 16th. 
My work will be on the Rostra Gallery stand K1

the inevitable gold layer looking shiny in the afternoon sun, it was so hot in the studio the gold layer almost killed me...or at least my arms were hurting for days afterwards - always worth it though - love the gold!

this is day 2 after a fairly sleepless night dreaming of what was to come and having painful arms (see above)   

I always enjoy printing the last layer because you see everything coming together (and find out if you've printed everything in the right place. This was tough going though - I had to keep stopping and cleaning the screen - ARGH...but I have to admit to being pretty pleased
