The design studio Cultivate over in St Helens are almost three years old and to celebrate I've been helping them. Above is a sneak peek at some work, I'm glad there happy with my versions of them. Reet I need a brew and a think...
Here is a recent photo from Hornseys the Gallery in Ripon North Yorkshire. Above in the photo are my prints "Love Train, "Eight letters On Ice, and "The Meeting Place". This afternoon I got me a Asterix book to revisit after spotting a dude the other day who looked like the Soothsayer from one of the Asterix adventures...
Here is a photo of my latest screen print entitled "All This Time" which will be available at Hornseys.com real soon. Today on my brief travels I spotted some deer a couple of Buzzard's and a Kestrel. At the time of writing I've only had two cups of tea and I need to correct this tally pronto...
By eck it's a windy and rainy day in Donny. The above photo is one of my prints which now hangs in a newly fitted kitchen where it looks reet handsome. At the time of writing I need a brew a sit down and think...
Here is a couple of Lovers I've quickly drawn up with a inky biro in my sketchbook. Gutted I drew the dogs tail a little wrong in my mind. Over the page I spent a bit of time drawing dogs and wished I was the dude on the other page kissing a lady...
Here is a little man with his best mate. Looking out the window today it looks a cracking day, I just find it sad today that Donny is in the papers for the wrong reasons. Reet I need a brew, "We Continue"...
Here is a dude I've drawn up with his cooler little dog. Whilst making a brew earlier I was struggling to count the visiting birds to the garden; they love my fat balls. For those nature fans that read my blog have you seen the Mark Hearld nature book is out soon...
Well I've read the paper, done ten miles on the bike and along the way doodled the above in one of my sketchbooks. Now looking out the window there looks to be a little sunshine perfect to look at with a brew...
Above is a photo taken on my mobile telefunken so apologies for the quality of it. But this is what I produced for the Money Section of Saturday's Guardian. Today I have just been chilling and thinking about thinking...
Be Sure to check the Money Section of this Saturday's Guardian for my contribution. You may of course need to tackle the snow which is due this weekend. Today I've mostly been indoors chained to my computer meeting a deadline, but in between fed the visiting birds to the garden. I'm still yet to consume my porridge rations for today, we continue...
I was asked by staff at Marks & Spencer to produce them a simple poster for them to use while they did some rowing to raise funds for the Prostrate Cancer trust. I'm told they help raised over a thousand quid for the charity over the weekend...
Here is a little doodle from one of my sketchbooks, with a romantic flavour. Valentine's day is just a stone's throw away. Although this lad is not doing anything special. The last few days has seen a a snow covered Doncaster, I myself have found enjoyment feeding the visiting birds in the garden, keeping warm and generally thinking and doodling...
The other day I found myself chuckling at a piece of graffiti scribbled on a building wall. Ten points to the person from Doncaster that know's where this statement has been scribbled. It's looking like snow could be on the agenda this weekend in parts of Britain. Frankly I'm not over the last batch last November...
