Craster harbour

For all the fun&games, and the fancy hotels, Scarborough is still a working fishing port.

Editioning is done! Upturned Boats is finished. I think I got about 27 good ones.

Warmer yellow, lighter blue, lighter dark grey. I think it all works well.

Nothing lines up! It was great fun to make and I will take all this learning going foward. This is not the end of me making stencils but just the beginning.

Here is the completed print, all twelve layers!

I will photograph it properly tomorrow and try to get the colours in the photo right.

Only one out of registration layer in 300 pulls of the squeegee, I am delighted.

This work in progress illustration is looking a bit better. I am much happier with the gull and the seaweed. And the sea holly. Not sure about the fish.

It has been an interesting experiment. It makes me want to do more stylised stuff. I was thinking a rockpool.

Anyway, if I print this it will be a nine colour print and I will only do one print run.

I think it does evoke a harbour though.

Almost exactly three years ago I made this Between Tides print. I should have made more. It was quite popular!

I guess this was an important milestone in the development of my style.

I'm slowly going through all my best prints! Soon I'll be onto the terrible ones.

Here's one of my favourite prints from a few years ago: "Between Tides". It is a five colour screenprint, two blues, yellow, brown and transparent black.

It is based on the harbour wall at Mousehole and features boats on the sand, lobster pots and a seagull. Unfortunately I only made 22 of them (I was still learning how to register prints accurately).

The last one travels with us to Cheltenham next Thursday to meet its new owner.

Not sure if this qualifies for #ThickTrunkThursday but here is a Christmas tree made of lobster pots from a few years ago.
