  • Cutting a new linocut from my interim studio in the
    Cutting a new linocut from my interim studio in the house. With the low temperatures we’ve had lately, this is a pretty nice place to be. The final stage in the studio refurbishment is to install a split system to keep me warm/cool.
  • School Holidays! so many of you are heading off
    School Holidays! ✈️ so many of you are heading off to discover new places and experiences. For those left at home, enjoy the hiatus. [eg.my hockey training tonight is cancelled because there are so few of the team who can make it ] . . This little holiday themed work is in my web shop, link in bio, and celebrates the way Australians love to travel and explore this huge continent. Limited edition of 13, printed on beautiful Somerset 100% cotton rag paper.
  • Hanging out in bunkers I never get tired of visiting
    Hanging out in bunkers. I never get tired of visiting this defence facility now a National Park. For me it’s about the patina of old brick and worn concrete in sharp contrast to the desolate land and seascape, viewed through unexpected openings made for guns.
  • Lately Ive been so busy with exhibitions renovating the studio
    Lately, I’ve been so busy with exhibitions, renovating the studio and falling in love with letterpress, that I have neglected to tell you about my new website! You can take a look via the link in my bio. Those who have visited before may not see too much difference, however, if you are viewing this on your phone or iPad, then it will be vastly improved because now it reacts in size to the device displaying it! Yay, no more minute fonts that you have to enlarge before clicking them. Huge thanks to  @thatchspace  for making this happen. The Rosella
  • Wearing my favourite shoes at a linocut workshop Lots of
    Wearing my favourite shoes at a linocut workshop. Lots of uninhibited carving created lino tendrils which we swept onto the floor. This was 15 months ago. I think it’s about time I revisited Mysia.

  • Elated with what Ive learnt at this letterpress workshop I
    Elated with what I’ve learnt at this letterpress workshop, I fell in love with the little Adana press, and the language of letterpress. The integration of linocut to make our own ‘cliches’ just topped it off. Thank you Jonah  @idiotartpress  for a brilliant workshop.
  • Another step on the letterpress journey thanks to idiotartpress and
    Another step on the letterpress journey thanks to  @idiotartpress  and  @printfingers  who visited the verandah today . Jonah showed me how to fit the twin ink rollers to my Adana 8x5 press and we printed something on it for the first time! Perhaps it was paying a little homage to the previous owner Frank Robinson, when it was his preset Christmas card we printed first. (Thanks Frank It is a beautiful little machine). We were able to use the old Press King inks that came with it, once  @printfingers  dug down through the protective crust. Can’t thank you two enough
  • So my studio window arrived on Friday and soon Ill
    So my studio window arrived on Friday, and soon I’ll be able to move all my stuff back in and we’ll get our verandah back. It’s mainly furniture and letterpress stored out here, no paper or prints.
  • Heres just one more photo of the letterpress prints we
    Here’s just one more photo of the letterpress prints we made last weekend with Jonah  @idiotartpress  at the beginners letterpress workshop . Most of these were made on a small Adana tabletop press with a circular rotating platen. I was pretty excited to come home to my studio and look at my own equipment with new understanding. Two years ago when the Robinson family kindly gave all Frank’s letterpress equipment to me, I knew it was good, but didn’t know how to use it. Now I’m eager to set some metal type on my Adana 8x5. I’ve found the compositors
  • My first ever letterpress proof warts all with margaretmarks
    My first ever letterpress proof [warts & all] with  @margaretmarks  and  @akartprint  at today’s beginner letterpress workshop. This dowdy scrap of bulky news could be the start of great things.
