sleepless ink: September 2012

My art and photography live under the name of sleepless ink and I am based in the south west county of Cornwall, England. The sea and coast play a major part in my life and offer several creative avenues to enjoy and care about. With decades of experience spraying graphics on surfboards while also pursuing my own personal art, design and photography, I have developed sleepless ink into a small business that aims to produce artwork, prints and photographs that other people enjoy and I can be proud of.

FINE ART PRINTS

Drawing and design pieces with a view to generate both limited and unlimited print runs. The subject matter can vary but I frequently hone in on surfing. With a wealth of experience being a surfer, both in the water and in the surfboard (graphics artist) industry, it is these prints that allow me to draw and follow the lines made by the art of good surfing. They are Giclee prints on Hahnemuehle 310gsm German Etching Paper. This is an archival fine art paper that produces high quality prints when combined with Ultrachrome HDR inks and an eleven colour large format printer. A collection of these can be seen or purchased at the sleepless ink shop.

PHOTOGRAPHY

I love cameras, a magic box that with the click of a button can hold a second. A camera in hand helps the eyes slow down and look at things for longer – once caught and printed, forever. So much can be interesting with a twist of light, lean of shadow, quirk of angle or dash of movement. It happens everyday, anywhere, everywhere. I have my camera at all times and travel on projects often focusing on the coastline, towns and countryside of Cornwall. Selected images are chosen to go to print.

All prints are A3 (11.7 x 16.5 inches)

All printing is C–Type on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Matt photographic paper.

UNFORTUNATELY UNDER THE CURRENT SITUATION REGARDING COVID–19, THE PRINT LAB I USE IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED, WITH ALL WORK RESUMING ON THEIR RETURN.
