The problem with Hopeless Eptiness...

Here is another print that will be on sale at Pick Me Up - a very limited edition.
The dark HOPELESS EMPTINESS sentiment is balanced by the simple beauty of Gill Cameo Line.

The Problem with... blind bedossing.

I designed these cards for Pick Me Up - they'll be available during the show and were inspired by Catpowers exquisite version of Wild is The wind. Currently there are 2 versions - one printed black the other is a blind deboss - just like a whisper.

The Problem with my 8x5...

While I was printing some business cards today, the press broke.. I had no idea what was going on till I gave up and cleaned the press.. Sometimes it's better to try again next day rather than get hot and bothered. Then I noticed the cracks in the base... RIP my little work horse. A whiskey toast to you.... my very first press.
Fear not though, I have already ordered a replacement from Jeremy Winkworth which is due here on Sunday.

The Problem with Trio...

I was listening to Radio 6 the other day, and there was lots of German music on, I love German music. German people too... Anyway, Trio came on 'da da da'.... in the middle of this perfect pop song was the line 'after all is said and done, it was right for you to run...'
