Study for something larger

 I've got an idea for a larger piece that just needed something... like a naked woman on a skateboard. So I thought I'd have a little postcard sized try out. A couple of wee tweaks and I think I've got what I wanted. All I have to do now is work out the rest.

Black Sun, Cemex

 This print has been a long time coming. I've been stuggling with it for months. It ended up that there was one corner that I liked. So I decided to cut the rest away and go with a print half the size. Anyway now it can be the third Cemex print, and I'm happy to chatge money for it. It was going to be much more complicated with multiple blocks, which is why the sun is the "wrong" colour. But when I decided the Sun was black, everything fell into place. Do you remember staring at the sun when you were a kid? Even when you were told not to. The world turned colour then, didn't it?

Brown paper bags

 Packaging has always presented a problem. I've tried varius things, wrapping paper, random commercial bags... So I decided to make my own bags that would take the larger mounted prints I sell. And of course, the smaller sized ones. I used brown wrapping paper. So its essentially doing the wrapping work up fromt.

I can't remember if I posted about the design way back, but I tried printing on fabric bags back in 2020, but I wasn't too happy with how they turned out. So I reused the text from those to print here. It's desiigned to take any postcard (portrait format) so I used tthe "Handprinted" postcard here.
