#tweetart March

This month's submission for Westgate Studio's #tweetart 
Curated by my Twitter pen pal Bob Milner and on show in Studio A6 at Westgate Studios

The Wakefield Art Walk is on Wednesday 28th of March and Westgate Studios will be open for visitors, for more information and maps check the Wakefield Art Walk page.




I am going to use #tweetart to make a body of work around the themes of the handmade, domestic and twee.

Birthday Card - Dilophosaurus

Hope Dennis Nedry isn't about

JSF Birthday cake - Death Star

JSF is 17 tomorrow
I thought I would bake him a cake
I got the idea from here but it wasn't much use as a "how to" guide. 


I'm not really that happy with it, I preferred my Star Wars Xmas cake, but it was an interesting exercise 










it's no moon.

Dad's Photos

I found a box of photographs my Dad took in the late 70s and 80s before he had his gear stolen.
He used to develop his own photographs at home, my favorite ones were the photographs that were badly framed or mis-developed and those that were of baffling subjects. 

Like the pope, on television.

Cast Iron Dinosaur



I made this during my time at Dartmoor Arts Week 2010
I realise I have not documented the actual product of my pour on this blog, merely just posted lovely photographs of my in masses of safety gear lugging crucibles about. 
so here it is

When I have a decent studio with a work bench and desk, I will grind off the runner and riser on the base and clean off the remaining sand properly.

Lino Printing Workshop - The Result




Last Thursday's lino workshop at MMU was great fun, i hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
I wasn't allowed to give tuition in the actual print room, however, the prints I saw pulled from the blocks that were printed looked fantastic.

I started cutting my own block during the session, it was a good incentive to start my roadkill project. 
Just need to get on a press!
