"Isle of Hackney" screenprint map

I've just finished printing this new "Isle of Hackney" screenprint, the first in a series of prints representing London's boroughs as individual islands in the style of old nautical maps. This print is a three colour screenprint on Fabriano 300gm paper and measures 30x40cm and is available from my online shop.

Visit Hackney Central screenprint

This is the latest addition to my "No Underground. Get Over It." series of London screenprints - Visit Hackney Central by motor-bus service No.55. As usual it's hand-printed on Fabriano 5 300gsm paper with non-toxic inks and is now available from my Etsy shop

So... where next?

Hackney DIY Art Fair - 31st August 2014

The Hackney Flea DIY Art Market took place on August 30th and 31st, in Abney Hall, just off Church Street in Stoke Newington London N16. It was the first time I'd taken a stall at an event like this, and I wasn't sure what to expect so I shared a table on the Sunday with market regular Caz of Beetle and Wilde.

All in all it was a very good day - a steady stream of visitors, some great feedback and a fair few sales (my smiling chicken head print in particular sold well). I also met some great people, including Hastings-based illustrator Georgia Sawers, and Julieta and David from Stokey-based Pixel Press letterpress studio. 

It was certainly worthwhile enough to make me think I'll do it again and probably take a table to myself next time to be able to display more of my screenprints. I'll post details here and on Twitter when I know when that might be...

New screenprint - Abney Park Cemetery

Screen print of Abney Park Cemetery in Stoke Newington, London N16 - Hackney's first nature reserve. This new open-edition print shows the marble recumbent lion on Frank C Bostock's grave in the foreground, with the derelict chapel in the background. Hopefully this will be the first one of a series featuring London's Magnificent Seven Cemeteries. (London Undertheground, Arf!)

Initially the print will be sold online through my Culture Label and Etsy shops, and in the Abney Park Visitors Centre.

NB. £5 from every sale will go to the Abney Park Trust, who are responsible for the upkeep of the cemetery and nature reserve.

Where next? Highgate, Brompton, West Norwood, Tower Hamlets, Kensal Green, or Nunhead?
