<br />
A
few months ago I was asked to design a special commemorative tea towel
to go with local Whitstable poet and ex-soldier Ron Cove's poem, "Where
the Poppies Grow".<br />
<br />
The Tea Towel is now up for sale on Lea
Ray's website, with all profits being donated to Help for Heroes, a
charity whose main aim is to help those soldiers wounded in war.<br />

It turned out to be a fairly big piece, just under A2 in size. No wonder my arms and shoulders hurt so much after printing them!<br />
<br />
You can buy the print and also the matching series of greetings cards at the Turner or on their online shop: <a href="https://turner-contemporary-shop.myshopify.com/collections/prints/products/flock-of-birds-limited-edition">here</a><br />

I can't say 2013 was my best year (but it was at least better than 2012!), however, I did finish and pass my MA, get a job as a graphic design lecturer and start what will hopefully be a successful business. So, looking to the future, hopefully 2014 will be amazing.<br />

//What is Cat Tee Mission?//<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #444444;"><i>"Our aim is to assist in the rescue of unwanted domestic cats around the
world, and the preservation of big cats in Africa, through the sale of
our tees and other merchandise. 100% of the profit from all sales is
donated to charities around the world who work in these areas. We
support no kill groups and conservation organisations, and you can too
with your purchase. " </i></span></blockquote>
<br />
I've always had cats, so it's nice to be involved with Cat Tee Mission and if you want to get yourself some good karma whilst getting a cute tee, you can buy the Cat Bee tshirts and tote here: <a href="http://catteemission.spreadshirt.co.uk/png-png-I110970096">clicky click</a>. <br />

You can now buy original screen prints on New Blood Art! At the moment I just have my MA pieces up, but am hoping to get more work done soon. My profile is here : <a href="http://newbloodart.com/artist/show/1493">http://newbloodart.com/artist/show/1493</a><br />
<br />
We've also got a new catalogue for Fawn and Thistle which you can have a look at <a href="http://issuu.com/fawn_and_thistle/docs/01_ft_cat_2013">here</a>, now I've finished studying we're hoping to get lot of lovely new products, such as t shirts and totes, but for now our stuff can be bought at the Turner Contemporary in Margate (we got our first wholesale order yay!)<br />

I was recently bought The Book of Skulls as a present. It's a lovely book, full of lovely, lovely skull art. I highly recommend it...just look at the cover.<br />

It looks remarkably similar to something I posted back in 2009. (his was made in 2011). <a href="http://kikimcnee.blogspot.co.uk/2009/03/fashion-anatomy.html">http://kikimcnee.blogspot.co.uk/2009/03/fashion-anatomy.html</a> it was part of a uni project, creating a theoretical fashion exhibition. Ours was looking at how woman altered their body shape through clothing to obtain grotesque shapes that were considered ideal at the time. The illustrations looked at what it would be like if these artifices would look like if the skeleton was actually altered.<br />

<br />
This may all just be coincidence, but it's such strange subject matter that it seems too odd...<br />
<br />
I've had instances before when I've seen things on clothing and magazines that looks similar and could be dismissed as coincidence, but this is just too weird. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I should be in that awesome skull book.<br />

The first one I did was the Enfield.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglBr_SXDUK1J3Rp81LIQTK_ORW2T7pHxzGtgzEz651bhBT5GEZw2_ZUnnK0M0q6D1xtJ6ZJJGX05ib9VwPSfQJRIs4f0fZphnc_ES0MubcFlsHllLnLdBWOcGK11i8a3UDWfjGGnn7Cv-Z/s1600/enfield+screenprint.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglBr_SXDUK1J3Rp81LIQTK_ORW2T7pHxzGtgzEz651bhBT5GEZw2_ZUnnK0M0q6D1xtJ6ZJJGX05ib9VwPSfQJRIs4f0fZphnc_ES0MubcFlsHllLnLdBWOcGK11i8a3UDWfjGGnn7Cv-Z/s400/enfield+screenprint.jpeg" width="290" /></a></div>
I'm not massively happy with this, the colours came out less subtle than I was aiming for and the third layer doesn't show up enough, so a lot of the detail has been lost.<br />
Most recently I've done the Peryton screen print which has been far more successful. I'll post it up later.<br />
<br />
So, lino or screen print?<br />

Google reader is closing down soon, so what better time to move all the blogs you read over to bloglovin and nab yourself a pretty button for your blog?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9fkc2yeOBAnLrBwH7MLqt_NghRzHaOKvYrYGmN8HYKpceRdsEqpI8CgFCzfB90Rn1DkgrSTFm54R4XC_ZmAZIkYQp2GXABIoD62s-8CuSstHFueE8-F0zGajASJKXvrihdKjdDv2aQwc_/s1600/nouveaubloglovin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9fkc2yeOBAnLrBwH7MLqt_NghRzHaOKvYrYGmN8HYKpceRdsEqpI8CgFCzfB90Rn1DkgrSTFm54R4XC_ZmAZIkYQp2GXABIoD62s-8CuSstHFueE8-F0zGajASJKXvrihdKjdDv2aQwc_/s1600/nouveaubloglovin.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Installing it is easy.<br />
<br />
1. Right-click save as on the above image and save it to your desktop.<br />
2. Join up to Bloglovin' if you haven't already and follow their directions on how to get a little widget for your blog here.<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1061966395"><br /></a>
<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/en/widgets">http://www.bloglovin.com/en/widgets</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/help_icon">http://www.bloglovin.com/help_icon</a><br />
<br />
3. To put your own image in, upload it to flickr or an unpublished post on your blog and right click and copy it's location.<br />
<br />
4. Replace bloglovin's basic image url with your new image's location. For example, this:<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/en/blog/663992" title="Follow fineliner on Bloglovin"><img 197="" 232="" background-color:="" rgb="" src="<i><span style=" />http://www.bloglovin.com/widget/bilder/widget_watkins.gif?id=663992</a><br />
" alt="Follow on Bloglovin" border="0" /><br />
<br />
becomes this:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/en/blog/663992" title="Follow fineliner on Bloglovin"><img 197="" 232="" background-color:="" rgb="" src="<span style=" /><i>https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikyrJXi6s3Ww3zze-83k3gwBMIPxAlm0RalVNutHVWv-u4wOmzpQKEAHIqhy7ZVb-3HaOgrx44fbUxL843uQcD9g5cKqV9aP_88l_LUm4fFeMfwkPaHedEYSHYok1RZ9LmAE6HXj9opjVW/s1600/bloglovinwidgetfineliner.jpg</i></a><br />
" alt="Follow on Bloglovin" border="0" /> <br />
Ta daa!<br />
<br />
It's pretty straight forward. If you do decide to use this button, be sure to leave me a little comment so I can see it 'in action' on your blog!<br />

I've seen a few other bloggers doing it and thought it seemed like a good idea, as I'm pretty much constantly listening to music whilst working and am often inspired by it.<br />
<br />
This one is kind of cohesive, but mainly just some of my favourite songs that weren't too loud (coffee induced headache!)...<br />

I'm really happy with how these turned out, considering they're my first proper foray in to the world of Lino Cutting (and especially as I did them on my own DIY press ie, me standing on them under a big bit of wood!). The large areas of solid colour didn't work well, however - I don't think my body mass equates to the pressure of a printing press (thankfully) - so I'm adding in a bit more detail to the prints. May also experiment with colour.<br />

With this one, I thought I'd try a more textured, thicker paper. It did not work, but I still kind of like it.<br />
<br />
Overall, I like the outcome and really like the way linocuts look, it's got a very specific and bold quality to the line I like. What do other people think about the process? Do you like it? Or think it's too time consuming / outdated? <br />
<br />
