I’ve been thinking lately about woods and meadows and the edges of lakes, places of importance in my own personal mythology that feed into my artwork. So far in my Acid Renaissance series these places have only manifested at a distance, distilled into human figures as genii locorum, spirits…
It’s been a month since my last update on my Acid Renaissance series of artwork, and as I mentioned in that post I wasn’t planning on doing any artwork for the project over August because I had too many other things on and needed to “recharge” anyway. The Delaware Road: Ritual & Resistance…

Work on the letterpress side of the Book of the Erinyes is on temporary hiatus while I wait for the letterpress facilities of Brighton Independent Printmaking to re-open as Ink Spot Press in June. I’ve got 9 of the 13 chapters printed, so it shouldn’t take too long to finish them off when the…
In early January I’m planning to print a number of Broadsides as related side-projects of the Book of the Erinyes. As well as being appropriate to the whole atmosphere of the artwork, I’m also drawn to the often scurrilous history of Broadsides, from the 16th century to the mid-19th century.…
