Competition time (and a print shop launch)!

The Last Time I Saw You (2020)

Hello all! Over on Instagram I have just launched a competition…To celebrate the launch of my print shop I thought we could play a naming game…

The first three images to be made available in the shop are (in order of appearance on the Instagram post), The Last Time I Saw You (2020), Event Site (for MJ Harrison) (2022), and Who Do You Do (2022). I’m not massively happy with the first title, so I’ll be giving away a limited edition print worth £70 to the person who can come up with the best alternative title for The Last Time I Saw You (that’s the landscape image) in the Instagram post comments for the next week or so.

The winner wins a print of the image of their choice.
The judge’s decision is entirely subjective, completely unfair and final. The winner will be announced in two week’s time.

About the prints:
All three images are printed with Lucia Ex Pigment by Canon on Hahnemühle Agave 290gsm paper by Klein Imaging in Manchester in an edition of 200. Each print is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Prints can be ordered from my shop (link in description, please do, etc) and can be shipped worldwide.
Every couple of months I’ll be launching a new print, so let me know if there’s something you see in my feed you would particularly like to see as a print! Thanks all!

The titles used in this post were created with a Markov generator invented by my friend Matthew Olden…texts used in the process were titles of works listed in a history of abstract painting and news about Britain leaving the EU from Thursday’s Guardian. Anyway, full post about Markov coming soon…Thanks, Matthew!

Forsaken Gardens

– Garden II (sketch), 2015 –

Thanks for all your good wishes – I’m feeling a lot better now. Here’s a sketch from Thursday night. All the photographs used were taken earlier in the week. More substantial stuff on the way…including another gallery visit with David Cook, a collaboration with Dan Parnell and some (yes, I’m going to use the term), diptyches I’ve been working on.

In the meantime you could visit Ashley Lily Scarlett and my dialogue in pictures, Between Scarlett and Guest. You can read/ eavesdrop on the conversation here. Or take a look at the project Barry Comer and I recently completed.

Today’s post title is taken from the forth track on Peter Hammill’s 1974 album, The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage. You can listen to it here.
