Health crisis

I just wanted to pass on my thoughts and concerns for everyone currently living through this terrible coronavirus, at the moment here in the UK the situation is becoming more worrying with each day. All we can do is to listen to the advice given to us, don't take any chances STAY INDOORS when asked to to do so and look after those who are more vulnerable. Art and creativity does feel a little trivial in times like this but I strongly believe that it really does have a positive impact on mental wellbeing. I’m going to continue to film my YouTube demos and encourage anyone to spend some time being creative, in dark times like this we all need a little colour. Take care and stay safe, Dan.

Important update

More Booklets !

Thanks to all those who purchased one of the booklets. I have now added extra copies which are available to pre-order. Delivery is expected after the 16th March, but I will dispatch them as soon as they arrive from the printers. Unfortunately I have had to increase the price due to higher delivery charges. All copies of the booklet will include 2 FREE prints. I will also include a 100% biodegradable plastic bag which you can use for the monoprinting techniques.

New Booklets

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.

New Monoprinting Kits !

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.

Britain's Rubbish (project update)

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).

Happy New Year

Best Wishes For 2020

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.

Monoprinting Booklet (new)

Information Booklet

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.
