Collection of unsold work (none for me!) and the AGM this evening, followed by the annual party – always nice to catch up with friends, especially from out of town.

Royal Academy Summer Show
This is my new print, Metroland. It is currently in the Royal Academy Summer show and has done very well – sold out after only three days!
Come and see it in London. It is showing until August. You can also buy the postcard in the Royal Academy gift shop.
I am currently starting a new print on similar lines. I will keep you posted.
Albion Press
Here is a picture of my beloved Albion relief press, made in 1841 , and bought on Ebay by me in 2002.
Demonstration at the RE
Forgot to say – I’m also there on Saturday afternoon (9th May 2-5) doing a demonstration. Difficult really, as there isn’t a press, but I’ll think of something….
RE Annual Exhibition
It’s the Private View tonight at Bankside Gallery (right next door to Tate Modern) – come along!
New Studio Member, Karen Keogh
Great excitement at Half Moon Studio – our friend and esteemed colleague, Karen Keogh, has joined our merry band of printmakers.
She is a fantastic artist, using three plates in her etchings, which are tricky to say the least, but she produces the most subtle colours and tones.
This is an example of Karen’s work, called Burnt River.

London Original Print Fair
I’m showing a couple of prints on the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers’ stand here this weekend, (Metroland and Midnight Cowboy, since you ask… ).
It’s situated in the main rooms of the Royal Academy and is a wonderful show. You can see work from the heady heights of Picasso and Goya, all the way down to, well, me. Honestly, though, go and see it – it’s well worth the trip.
Art Fairs
The studio is yet again in turmoil with the Glasgow Art Fair coming up. Our working year is punctuated by the same large scale events rolling by – Originals in January, Glasgow in March/April, London Original Print Fair in April, RA Summer Exhibition in June, and so on.
It seems that no sooner has one finished but that another looms up on the horizon. Oh, well…
