Showcasing creative work from a small group of artists and makers in North West England and promoting creativity in the region.

Manhole cover no. 1 is finished and drying…I went for a dark grey for the second colour, not black - think that was a good decision.

And now I sense more manhole cover prints on the horizon.

My ‘3 Fishes’ and ‘Drunken Sailor’ lino prints are currently on display in the #HarrisOpen2021. You can’t go round it in person at the mo but you can take a look round their virtual tour!

My prints are small so not that easy to see on the tour, so here’s images of them anyway.

Looking for the right words for the one you love? Well how about my ‘You make me…’ design? Go for a digital download from my Etsy shop, or one of a range of products in my Red Bubble shop.

‘Cat on a pedestal’ is printed. Perky little cat, don’t you think?

[John Davey @sjohndavey]

Yep, it’s another cat. ‘Cat on a pedestal’ is underway. Let’s face it, most cats think their owners put them on a pedestal...and it’s true, isn’t it?

Ok, so it was a bit too hot to spend time printing today, but my ‘A tail of two fishes’ print is done 😊 #fish #fishes #fishy #linocut #linoprint #printmaking

[John Davey @sjohndavey]

Watery background printed for my ‘A tail of two fishes’ print, now hanging up to dry. Looks a bit odd before the second colour is printed but I always get excited building the colours up into a finished print.
