David Bowie printed Totes for summer.

Ok it isn't summer yet. Or even close. Heck it snowed a couple of days back. In April. A tribute to Prince?

But that hasn't stopped me from getting excited about printing some canvas tote bags. Screen printing to start with. Very ambitious. Considering the last time I attempted it was 15 years ago in college as part of my art course.

The first few tries didn't go as planned! It seems simple, and logical if you follow the steps, but getting down to actually doing it, ended up being a rather messy affair. Note to self- screen printing on dining table- terrible idea. You need a flat surface, a steady hand, firm grip, and pull with strength and confidence.

Eventually I got the result I wanted, in a few out of the entire batch. They look lovely, and sold out the day I posted them. I look forward to doing more soon!

Incase you are interested, this print is also available in the

shop.

Tracking street art: Dalston to Haggerston

As I begin my journey with screen printing this weekend, I thought of hitting the streets for some inspiration. First stop at Epic Dalston for the DIY Art Market: overwhelmed by the sheer talent under one roof. Print makers, illustrators - riso, litho, screen, digital- every kind of printing technique- just going to prove that print isn't dead.

And guess who was having a solo show next door? One of my favourite artists who's work I had first seen in Brick Lane a couple of years back- Fanakapan. The woah- so -realistic inflated balloon art is hard to forget. Apparently he is touring all over the world now. Brilliant stuff.

Nest Stop: Haggerston. You've got to love Haggerston for these! (see below)- and of course The Proud Archivist. Can spend hours here, by the canal and live music on lazy Sunday afternoons.

I can see a great summer ahead! Happy days.
