A screenprinted version of Paul, a friend of mine who I have been drawing for years, usually in fashion illustration classes at Central Saint Martins. For this print, I drew him from life, and each of the layers of the screenprint were drawn by hand, in textures that I love using on these sort of illustrations. For me, Paul is the ultimate poster boy for my fashion illustrations, hence why I have named the print ‘Poster Boy’.
This screenprint was designed exclusively for Blisters: Time to Play in September 2023, which showcased over 50 emerging and established artists, each with a brand new and exclusive edition of handmade screenprints responding to the theme of PLAY. From fairground rides to broader concepts about colour and abstraction, the show comprised an array of styles from street art to fine art illustration. The exhibition presented pieces from renowned contemporary artists such as Anthony Burrill, Oliver Jeffers, Morag Caister, Lucille Clerc, Babak Ganjei, John Booth and many more. And many Print Club favourites of course!
