Was like being out in a hurricane yesterday, my paper flapping in the wind as im trying to draw, and I nearly got blown off my seat into a bush.

done a couple more #crazyface sketches to add to my collection.

Spent the afternoon at a monoprinting workshop today. Very different from the type of prints I normally produce.

The process is a lot more simple then I'm used to but thats not to say its easy to get results, as you have a lot less control over how your print will turn out.

I started off creating this print of Willow Field Tower using a couple of techniques giving some interesting results. As you can see my registration is a bit off leaving a huge chunk missing from the roof

This print i made is a scene from the workshop where Ellen is inking up a plate with a roller for one of the girls.

Was good fun and found Ellen to be a great teacher, I would definitely like to experiment with monoprint again in the future.

The view of Westgate from a window above gives a more interesting perspective then the view from the ground. Plus you get too see the pigeons hiding on the rooftops.

This building has to be important to Harlow, It's the main hospital in the region accommodating all the people of the neighbouring towns and villages around Harlow.

It also happens to be the place I was born 30 years ago.

Spent the evening down at the East London Printmakers Christmas Open Studios.

It was really good to meet other printers, and be inspired by their work. Such a wide range of styles and techniques.

I had to buy some handmade cards while I was there, especially after painstakingly designing and printing my own cards over the last month. I felt an increased sense of admiration for their work. It's actually the first bit of christmas shopping I've done this year.
