The weather is warming up a little here in the northern hemisphere, spring has finally sprung so to speak. The door to our garden is more often than not flung open and migratory birds from the south are slowly appearing in view, bringing a warm smile to the days.
In this same moment I’m fortunate to have a few small projects on the horizon as well. I find myself slowly working towards a creative workshop inspired by the natural world, which will see me creating work alongside a group of youth in South Wales, I’m also in the process of creating an exciting Zine with an incredible indigenous artist, and developing a few exciting projects for later in the year.
I’ve been working through some of my archive recently as well, and some of this work is now appearing as fine art archival prints within my Online Shop. With this in mind I’ve decided to make all of my usually limited edition work available as affordable 10 x 8 inch prints for the month of May. These smaller artworks will be available as open edition’s, all printed and handled as carefully as the larger format work’s I produce are, and will be printed as pigment prints on archival cotton based paper.
Below I have some examples of the work available and a few more thoughts.
Branscombe, originally exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts.
These types of print sales go a little way towards supporting my practice and allowing me to tell important stories of community, land use, and climate change. If you are able to support or share this print sale initiative it’s hugely appreciative, plus you could get to enjoy a beautiful artwork on your wall or alternatively for a friend.
French Shrimpers #1, originally exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts and other established venues.
All prints in this May open edition sale are printed on 10 x 8 inch cotton based paper, the prints are inclusive of a 1 inch border on either side, with the top and bottom border differing a little depending on the image crop.
The prints are priced at £100 inclusive of shipping. ( please use the discount code “MAY” to avoid shipping costs )

It’s very easy to purchase an artwork if you do decide to go ahead, and you can be safe in the knowledge that all artworks are then carefully packaged in hard-backed envelopes or rigid cardboard tubes depending on their size, and sent out to a convenient address.
Skate Park, California, a popular image, the theme and quietness resonates with many.

I love the lighter exposures and the minimalist compositions. Makes for really serene images. They all look like they should go together.
Incredible images. So beautifully tranquil 🙏🏻
