After a few technical issues and the addition of a couple of new pages I’m pleased to say the 22 page booklet has now been finished and has been sent to the printers. I hope to have this available in the website shop as soon as possible. The new monoprinting kits will also be added but this will be in a couple of weeks now.
New booklets will have 22 pages of monoprinting tips and examples of my own work.
All the new booklets will include 2 FREE prints, these are A5 high quality and there is a selection of 10. Extra prints will be available for sale from the website shop. Prints are £2.50 each or a full set of 10 for £20 (FREEPOST)
The new monoprinting booklet will be off to the printers this week and I should finally have copies available from the website. Each booklet will include 2 FREE prints. Delivery is FREE, worldwide shipping. I will post updates when they are available.
New 22 page booklet.
I’m sorry for the delay of the new monoprinting kits but I hope to have them back on the website soon. I have had a lot of enquiries regarding these and I can promise you that they are on the way. All kits will now include a 20 page information booklet as well a four instructional sheets that guide you through each of the projects. The booklets have increased in size and more information and quality images are now added.
The contents of the kits have also been added to, all the kits will now include a sample of paint, various transfer sheets, texture sheets, tools and paper etc. I’m also going to add some samples of recycled plastic that can be used for the monoprinting process.
I will post updates as soon as possible and when ready the kits will be available in the shop. The booklets can also be bought seperately.
I’m working on the Britain’s Rubbish art project that I started last year, I always wanted to create a unique artwork that would help to illustrate the ideas behind the project, the concerns about the increased use of single use plastic and how this can find its way onto our beaches. I’ve never been a fan of bottled water, to me it is one of the worst examples of avoidable waste, it has to be the most common item of rubbish found on the beach and always seems to be found in the largest section of any supermarket. You can buy 20 bottles of water for less than £1. Turning some of the monoprints contributed to the project into labels for bottled water seemed like an obvious choice, even though it meant going to the supermarket and having to buy bottled water. This is still a work in progress and I will post updates as the final artwork is completed. The labelled bottles will also be taken onto the beach to be photographed (they will NOT be left there).
My new video will premiere today at 3:30pm (UK time) I will be watching at the same time and responding to live comments. Hope you can watch.
You will find a selection of Tee shirts, prints and mobile phone cases in my Teespring shop. More exclusive items will be added. You will find a link to the shop in my YouTube videos. https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/dan-tirels
I would like to send best wishes to all for the new year and thank you for all your support and encouragement. I am really pleased to see that you have continued to be inspired by the YouTube videos and it is encouraging to see all the work that has been submitted to the YOUR WORK gallery on this website. The YouTube channel has really started to take off and I have bigger plans for this over the next few months. Reaching 10,000 subscribers was achieved last month and this has meant the channel has been getting more views for each video. I have now created a new print on demand shop that has a variety of products including Posters, Tee shirts, Phone Covers and more yet to be added. The Teespring shop is linked to all my YouTube videos and there is a link to products below every video. I have no part in the manufacture of any of these products, I just supply the high resolution images of my artwork. From the samples that I have seen the quality is excellent. I will continue to offer my own Limited Edition signed prints in my online shop and the new monoprinting kits will soon be available.
The 16 page information booklets will be included with all the new kits. For previous purchasers of the kits I will post one of these for FREE. When the booklets are finished I will post an update and you will need to send your customer information using the contact page. The booklets will also be available to buy for a small charge.
Sample pages from the new monoprinting booklet. (work in progress, incomplete mock up shown)
I am currently updating the monoprinting page so it has temporally been removed.
I am currently in the process of updating the monoprinting kits and hope that they will be available soon. All the kits will now include a tin of 30ml oil paint (Winsor & Newton), a new information booklet with detailed instructions and monoprinting examples plus 2 exclusive FREE prints will also be added to the kits.
Adding content to the new section of the website. Please note the Print Shop is now part of the main shop page and has a link to all the content. More Items will continue to be added over the next few days starting with these 2 sets of SIX prints. All available and ready for dispatch.
I will be updating the website with some new content, including a new print shop which will have signed limited edition prints available. I hope to have the first selection available this week.
I have just filmed a new demo trying a sculpture sketch using a 3d pen for the first time
I thought this would be a simple idea, a good way to provide a kit with everything you need to begin experimenting with the monoprinting techniques that I demonstrate in the videos on my YouTube channel. Due to constantly being let down and waiting for delivery of materials for the kits it has been a frustrating process. These new versions of the kits may help. I'm trying out the idea of including 5 colours of oil paint in these handy containers with screw top lids, I will test them out for a few weeks before deciding to put them on the website.

Sorry for thd delay with the kits, I'm pleased that all kits will be despatched on Monday (21st Oct)
I'm sending all monoprinting kits with a FREE gift. An original signed monochrome sketch or monoprint. Later today I will email everyone who has bought one of the kits with the access code for the locked page of the website so you will be able to look through the projects and get ready for the kit to arrive. It would be good to get some feedback on the website which I'm adding to daily.
I'm busy getting all the monoprinting kits ready for dispatching next week so if you have bought one, please don't worry they will be with you as soon as possible. I'm working on new photographs and instructions for the exclusive content page of the website, when you receive your kit, a code number will be included, use this to gain access to this section. I'm going to be adding new projects to this page and will also be having a few raffles and FREE art giveaways from time to time. When you buy one of the kits you get more than just the contents included in the package, so I really hope that it is a great introduction to the techniques that I have been demonstrating in my YouTube videos.
