Heart-Shaped balloon
Since a few people have asked, I thought it would be worth mentioning that I’m happy to hand finish more of the *prints, with or without heart-shaped balloons for £135.
*I’ve exhausted my reserve of black Klaus prints, but the brown are good to go.
blame geronimo!
I pulled another lithograph from my to-one-day-hand-finish reserve and upon it I scrawled a heart-shaped balloon.
I can’t help but feel that it would go down better if we weren’t flirting with Valentine’s Day, but we are- anyway, it’s off to someone who likes heart shaped balloons probably as much as I do and the person who’s buying it for her seems to think she’ll like it AND on that note, I hope she doesn’t read my blog and see it before she receives it…
Anyway, I can’t be blamed: I’ve been glued to Geronimo!’s instagram and twitter feed and my passing “aw, those are lovely” feeling has turned into a borderline sulk that I don’t have one of those tassel’d balloons keeping me company all day long.

Win a print. england is so hot right now
Today marks my first year as a real British Citizen.
For six years I had to fill out forms to keep my place in the country, which also meant I always had to have a job to quash any indication that I would ever just lie on my back and suckle on England’s great teat, which meant being fully self employed would have made things difficult for me.
So, celebrating one year of being legal and 9 months of being a full time artist means giving something away; specifically one of the prints I produced on my recent course:
Anyone who “likes” this picture (my crown pin, given to me wrapped in Beano pages by my mom) on the Candice Tripp facebook page will go into a random draw. The winner can choose which of my inexpertly produced screen prints they get. I’ll draw a winner on Sunday.
Day two at nothern print
As predicted, my registration was out. Typically, the first two colours were fine (fine enough, I declare, for a first-timer) The third was a laugh.
The result reminds me of cheaply made children’s picture books from the 40′s, which is a look I happen to like, so things worked out okay. I don’t however, enjoy bullshiting myself so a perfect print would have been ultimately preferable.
Between Ideal Brown’s printing and my own, we each have an odd set:
3 colour hand-pulled screen prints on irregular paper; 4 on some somerset satin, 3 on an unknown brand of stock,
approximately 29 cm x 39 cm with partially deckled edges,
Edition of 0 given that the artist (sigh) never signed off on any of her proofs. What remains is 7 of each, marked as PPs because I suppose that’s exactly what they are.
Hand-Finished Prints
I’ve done a new set of hand-finished prints. Numbers 08 of an edition of 10, both The Patio as well as And One Day Blimp Cat Floated Away. They’re the first that match, if you get your rocks off on that sort of thing.
61 cm x 73 cm
Hand finished giclee print
Edition of 10 – 315 gsm paper
