A grumpy face in linocut

New lino. New face. New grumpiness.

An image of a terrible wolf-dog creature being chased by dogs and arrows with the words We Hunt The Beast But The Beast Is Us carved into its body

⚡️riso version⚡️
Based on my original large format print, We Hunt The Beast But The Beast Is Us is also an A4 size riso print in two colourways. Frikky fresh minty green shown here.

My thatchers screenprint is coming together with this seventh layer which is dark brown. Details of the thatchers faces and arms are now visible as well as the road, roofs, windows, doors and wood grain.

Dark brown down! Seventh colour. Five to go.

Last week Unbound was scheduled to refund 8k of pledge money to people that had supported my book 'Singing Up the Sun'. Last week Unbound went into administration. Today I discovered the money won't be refunded. I'm mortified about the situation. I recommend you attempt to get refunds directly...

It’s so awful Mat, and how they’ve strung you along as well as the pledgers. I hope the book sees the light of day after all of this some day, don’t let it poison the work!

I used to live not too far away from lovely Ham Common. Wish I was still there and I could join you!

Thanks so much John!
