Making My Secret 7″ Sleeve

Secret 7″ Update

I am very happy and surprised that my Secret 7″ sleeve sold for £91.98, which is a lot more than I’d hoped for!

Secret 7″ Revealed

 

I can now reveal the sleeve I designed for this year’s Secret 7″! I created an original linocut and printed it directly onto the record sleeve for Tame Impala’s track ‘The Less I Know The Better’. If you want to know where I got the idea for the image from then watch the video for the song, but be warned it is a bit risque!

 

Cambridge Folk Festival Design

Here is the final print for the Cambridge Folk Festival project!

Work In Progress For Cambridge Folk Festival

Earlier this year I created a design for the Cambridge Folk Festival. I chose to do a reduction linocut and to experiment with ‘rainbow rolling’!

‘Born Slippy’ Linocut

Here is the lino block I carved for my Secret 7″ design!

Pink Poodle Linocut

The other week, whilst showing my sister how to linocut, I made a simple Valentine’s card with a pink poodle on it (not much to do with Valentine’s I know!)

I have been working on a few projects over the last couple of weeks, which I am hoping to be able show you soon, one of which was a submission to the Secret 7″ project, fingers crossed!

Seahorse Linocut

Over the holidays I was asked to make a linocut of a seahorse. I used a reduction method to create this print.

New work added to gallery

I have updated the gallery on my website with new work such as my entry for the 2015 Prize For Illustration. Take a look…

Christmas Card Design

I created a linocut of a dog wearing a Christmas jumper for a Christmas card design. I actually entered it into Jackson’s Art Supplies linocut Christmas card competition and although I did not win I received a £5 voucher for my efforts!
