Shop to re-open on 1st of June

Following these difficult couple of months I have decided that the online shop will be able to open again, I know that although there are still likely to be some problems with postal services and that most deliveries will take a little longer it would be good to return to some kind of normality. The new and improved monoprinting kits will be available along with some original artwork and prints. The monoprinting booklet is not yet available in print form but can still be found as an Ebook on Amazon. I will be having the booklet re-printed in a couple of weeks. A pocket sized version of the booklet has been added to the kits. As always I thank you for your support and really enjoy looking through the work that you send to be added to my online gallery.

The YouTube channel has continued to grow and all the positive comments and feedback are very encouraging, the demo videos have provided some inspiration during these dark times and I’m always pleased to hear that they have been encouraging others to spend some time trying out the techniques for themselves.

I send best wishes to all, stay safe and keep creating,

Regards, Dan

Shop closed

Due to the ongoing situation regarding the COVID-19 virus I have now closed the shop page on my website. I really hope things improve and that normality will be restored soon. Take care and please continue to send work for the gallery on the your work page, now more than ever creativity helps to spread a little colour.

For now the mono-printing booklet will no longer be available in print form, but as an ebook only. Thanks to all those of you who have already bought the booklet in print or the new ebook, I appreciate your support at this difficult time.

I will try to film more demo videos, which I hope will help to provide a little inspiration.

Monoprinting kits

The monoprinting kits are all finished including new information sheets and a pocket sized version of the monoprinting booklet. Unfortunately due to the current crisis I will not be putting them on the website just yet, it's disappointing but postal services are doubtful at this time. Take care, and let's hope that the situation improves for all of us.

All kits include information sheets, instructions and a pocket sized version of the booklet.

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.
