New Work! And Black Friday discount code.

Hello to you! I'll skip the usual lack-of-blog apology and move right along to the important stuff. I've worked all summer long on new things and I have FINALLY put new prints up on my website. Here are a few work in progress shots to prove that I have been working hard, and that I draw everything by hand before any printmaking commences.

I think one of my favourite prints is the Spectrum Goat Skull. I love the way the colours blend, so each one is completely unique. It's always a bit of risk, trying something new and changing direction, so I really hope I sell some of this work. I've loved making it. There are five new prints up, go have a look, http://nellsmith.bigcartel.com/ and if you like what you see, there is 25% off everything in the shop all weekend with the code NONEMOREBLACK. Have a good 'un! x

Workspace

I am lucky/greedy enough to have 3 workspaces - my dining room/home office, pictured above in all its messy, colourful glory, my studio at Hot Bed Press and the shop at the Craft Centre.

This is the wall in front of my desk at Hot Bed. Not very inspiring is it?? Need to pop some posters of my favourite hunks up, should get the ideas egg grooving.

This is the print room downstairs from my studio. It's rad. I'm planning on getting stuck into some printing next week. The problem I am a little disorganised, so it's easy for me to get sidetracked. This morning, for instance, I am sitting here in my pyjamas, writing this blog and no doubt I'll answer some emails in a bit, which eats into the time I should be spending at Hot Bed. My computer is here, it's hard to leave this guy. I am good at being disciplined sometimes, but other times I AM NOT.

Various items being made in the Craft Centre. Badges, bibs, baby wear.

 Treats for sale in the shop.

How do you stay focused? Come on, I need some help here!
