North Londoners ❤️ their North London

All done now with the Autumn Makers Fair in Muswell Hill, and here is a quick countdown of the print repros that my visitors took home the most. Thanks to all who visited for the lovely chats and feedback.

These works are a first output for the larger collection that I am building for next Spring, all things going well. They are at the intersection of painting, printmaking and textile, playing with the possibilities of using paper like a form of fabric, and vice versa.

It was my first chance to show this work to the public, and in particular to people who do not consider themselves 'artists', and to get a sense of their response...

Very excited to be participating in my first Muswell Hill Creatives outdoor Makers Fair of the season next week!

It will be a chance to unveil 'Terrain Vague' (French for 'wasteland', or literally 'vague terrain'), my brand new series of original mini artworks mounted on greeting cards. There are fifteen of them, all hand-printed using an intaglio technique. They are great as gifts, or you can framed them and keep them all to yourself 🎁

I'll also be bringing premium-quality prints and cards featuring my most popular paintings, including several featuring the Muswell Hill and Colney Hatch neighbourhood.

Fingers crossed for a not-too-breezy day! 🤞🏻🍂

Find us outside the newly refurbed Planet Organic, North and Ten and the Turntable Bakery opposite St James Church from 11am-5.pm.⁠

Another sneak peek at what's to come next Spring with this early piece which will be shown at Errata, City Lit, with this week (details in the third pic).

It's a really tactile, soft, fresh piece, and I've enjoyed every minute of making it.
