Your work
I am making a few changes to the gallery of your submitted artwork. This will be updated and will be improved to make it easier to look through all the artwork. I will try to get this back online as soon as possible.
Mono printing kits (new lower price)
Please remember to add the correct postage for shipping the kits, I cannot send them unless this is added at the checkout. All orders without the correct postage applied will be refunded.
Leaving YouTube
I have decided to take a break from posting the demo videos while I start work on some new art projects. All the videos will still be available to watch and I hope to be back with more ideas and techniques for you to be inspired by.
Postal services are now fully operational
I will begin to open the online shop soon and start to resume postal orders again. The Royal Mail has been making sure normal postal service can continue around the UK as well as overseas.
There are some expected delays but I am told that this should be no more than 2 - 3 days for most international shipping. All UK deliveries should be as expected.
It has been such a horrible time for everyone at the moment and I hope that things will continue to recover. Stay safe and well and thanks as always for your support. I would also like to thank those postal workers and all their efforts to help to provide such a vital worldwide service. Take care, Dan.
New YouTube videos
Happy New Year (sorry that’s a bit late) I hope that this year will be much better than the previous one, surely it can’t get any worse. The website shop is still not able to send out postal deliveries because of the current difficulties here in the UK. My e-book and other downloads will still be available and I hope at some point to begin working on a new book of art projects. I have begun to make a few improvements to the YouTube channel and will be posting a video everyday throughout January. Thanks for your support, take care and stay safe, regards Dan.
UK post disruption
Unfortunately due to the current situation here in the UK at the moment with this new outbreak of the COVID-19 virus that seems to be spreading worse than ever I have suspended all postal deliveries. All recent orders are dispatched and should arrive without too much delay. I was hoping to add more of the mono-printing kits to the website shop but I will delay this until normal service can be resumed. Whilst this is very disappointing I think it is the best option under the circumstances. It is an awful situation that we now find ourselves in, take care and stay safe.
Monoprinting Kit. (Special edition) now available.
Sorry for the lack of recent blog posts and updates, I have been having a few technical faults with the website and this has prevented me from updating the website and including more original artwork to the shop. I have just added 10 more of the monoprinting kits to the and hope to add more in the next few days. I have updated the YOUR WORK gallery page and it is always great to include your artwork that has been inspired by the videos. Postal charges have had to be increased but I have tried to keep them as low as I possibly can.
The COVID-19 pandemic is still having a devastating effect here in the UK as well as the rest of the world and I am always encouraged by the comments I receive about my YouTube videos helping people cope with the isolation and offering some form of escape from the daily news, I always have been under the impression that creativity does help in times like this. I have had many comments from teachers of art classes who have been sharing my techniques with their students of all ages and abilities and this is fantastic to hear. I make videos to encourage others in a positive way.
I really hope it isn’t too long before a suitable vaccine is found and normal life can resume once more, I send best wishes and as always thank you for your continued support. Take care and stay safe.
SALE of Original artwork
I’m just adding a new page to the website that will include all original artwork that will be on sale for the first time. This will include some sketches, monoprints, paintings, and maybe even some small sculptures. All work is original, signed and dated. I will photograph the works over the next few days and will update with more information when they will be available. Hope you find something of interest. Many of the pieces are from my YouTube demo videos.
New special edition mono printing kits (only 10 available)
These new kits are are now available, they include a copy of the 22 page booklet.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO ADD THE CORRECT SHIPPING COSTS AT CHECKOUT.
Booklet now available to download (PDF file)
I have now added the booklet to the website shop as a downloadable PDF file. This will a replacement for the ebook which is no longer available to from Amazon at the moment. The printed version of the booklet is still available although the supply is limited. Thanks to everyone who has bought one of these, I hope it proves useful and inspires a few ideas.
Monoprinting booklet now back in print
The monoprinting booklet is now back in print and available from the website. The first 40 copies will include a signed original monoprint from the Coast series that features in the booklet.
Shop closed
Sorry but I have had to close the shop while I sort out the problems with the shipping. It seems that at the checkout it doesn’t allow the option to select the correct shipping charge (or to choose the FREEPOST option) I will try to get this sorted and have the shop page working as normal.
Booklet now available to pre-order
The monoprinting booklet has now been sent back to the printers and copies should be available next week. I will have a limited supply but the booklet can be ordered now for immediate dispatch once it has been delivered from the printers (5-7 days). I am really pleased to be able to offer this again in print form and I am so grateful for all your positive comments from those of you who already have a copy. Later this year I am going to work on a follow up booklet that would include other techniques from the YouTube demos and include more projects to explore.
The monoprinting booklet is still available as an ebook for Kindle on Amazon.
Monoprinting kits
Pleased to say that after all the long delays due to COVID-19 and problems with shipping services the new monoprinting kits are ready to despatch. This first batch are on the way to Germany, France, Italy, UK and the USA. More will be despatched on Monday. Thank for your patience and support during these difficult times. Enjoy using the kits, I appreciate your custom. I hope to have the booklet back in print next week.
Thank You
Thanks for your interest in the new mono-printing kits, I will be shipping these in the next few days and will have more available soon. (you will receive a confirmation email when your kit has been dispatched) I have been having a few tech issues and trouble with the internet so I have not been able to update the website as I had hoped, this problem seems to have been resolved so I can begin to make a few improvements. Unfortunately I have been unable to upload new videos to my YouTube channel for a week but I will begin to film more and should have a few new ones next week.
New email address for the Your Work Gallery
Greetings to all, I hope everyone is in good health and keeping well under these difficult circumstances. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy looking through all your artwork that you send for the gallery, it always gives me a great sense of achievement and satisfaction to know that so many of you enjoy the demos and are encouraged to try the techniques for yourself. I am trying to re-organise the gallery to make it a little easier for me to post updates and add more work, I may try to change the way the gallery looks and make it easier to view each of the works. Most importantly I want to create this exclusive email address that should only be used for sending me your work for the gallery, this means that your email will be seen and not get lost in the high volume of the other emails. (if you have already used the old address, don’t worry I will still be adding your work in the next few days)
