It’s easier to think that you’re in love than it is to accept that you’re alone”

4 set, stochastic separation (screen print)

Fabriano Disegno 4

50cm x 70cm

Edition of 20

So that I will never make the same mistake again. A reminder of what I had and a reminder of what I’m looking for and what I lost. To record and say that I… we were there.

I was happy even though I should have been sad, and that sadness was all around me. I couldn’t wait to leave and be with her. She’s always “on my mind”.

In a way she changed my life. I had no idea this even existed or what it was called.

She didn’t look real. She looked like she was cut out and pasted in this word and she looked so happy. She said “You’re like something out of a book.” But after all was said and done she declared, “You’re different; I’ll give you that”

"If you see this girl, tell her I loved the idea of her and that I’m sorry."

Ok I've had this one done for a while but it's taken me a while to find the courage to release it. Its the classic story of boy meets girl.

Then boy makes sticker to find girl again.

Well boy makes lots of stickers

and sticks them everywhere.

that leads to a print (YES it's screen print by hand!)

You don’t forget you just move on

“I reached out but I didn’t find what I was looking for. Just closure. The rest are just memories.”

This is a response. It’s clear that we all respond to life’s challenges in different ways. Some fight death, some embrace its solace, some recognise their fate, some do what’s ever necessary to alter it. Sometimes we defy others expectations and occasionally we rise to meet them. But the constant is being true to ourselves

Stochastic separations

Ok long time no post I've been away bettering my self as a printer and I never accounted for how much time it would take to settle from being out of uni but here is what I've been up to CMYK 4 set

I hope it's what you like.

just fresh off the press

"don't let me fall asleep alone" finished 7 colours 50cm x70cm and it has phosphorescent (glow in the dark) stars.

Whatever you give inevitably takes something away from you, need is never equivalent to love, the price of which is a heavy one. This was a misguided, but sincere attempt to encapsulate an emotion

When I began this print, I felt completely different. What I was trying to achieve with this was a tall order. My motto is ‘dreams are fragile’, which has proved lamentably true.
