Inkysloth Printmaking

Hand printed cards, badges, and original prints, sold through Etsy

A cluster of 7 hand made badges. The badges are of ammonites, a prehistoric sea creature with a coiled shell, and a body ending in tentacles, like a squid crossed with a snail. The centre ammonite is rainbow coloured, and the surrounding ones are either rainbow coloured or are in pale pink & blue, like the trans pride flag.

A card on a wooden board, the card has a picture of a stegosaur in rainbow colours printed on it.

A relief print of the bones of the pelvis, printed in dark blue. "chatter lines" where ink from the background of the block has accidentally transferred to the paper makes the print look lively.

A lino print of an electricity pylon in the foreground, takes up nearly the full height of the page. In the distance is a small tower block that has the main block to one side, and slightly detached but linked by walkways is the lift shaft. In the background, a sunset glows, made by inking up a plank of wood with strong grain, the lines and swirls of the wood grain make the sky, a circular knot forms a sun behind the pylon.

Inkysloth Shirts

All sorts of stylish t-shirts, designed by me and printed in the UK by Teemill, using renewable energy.

A grey tailored t-shirt with a design printed on it of a cylindrical gas holder, in front of a large half moon.

A white straight-cut t-shirt, printed with a triceratops (A chunky, herbivorous dinosaur that stands on all fours, has a large frill behind its head, two horns projecting from its forehead and one from its nose). The triceratops is coloured blue at the face, and fades through to pink at the tail. Underneath text reads "triceratops for trans rights"

A black straight-cut t-shirt with an electricity pylon design, the pylon is a tall tower made of interconnecting beams, with three pairs of horizontal arms from its top half. It graduates through the rainbow, from red at the top to purple at the base.

A photo of me standing in front of an external wooden-cladded wall. I'm squinting a bit in bright sunshine. I'm a white man in my late thirties, with very short light brown hair, clear blue ex-NHS specs, and a slightly scruffy beard & moustache. I'm wearing a black t-shirt with a stegosaur on. The stegosaur is a very chunky dinosaur on all fours, with a small head, long tail with four spikes on its tip, and a spine lined with angular plates. It's coloured blue along the spine plates, graduating through to pink at the toes.

Calligraphy

Commission me to transform your words into something visually beautiful.

A short text written over two linoprints of ravens, wings outstretched, one facing upwards, the other rotated through 180 degrees. Text is written in a rounded style from around the 9th century called Uncial, and reads "Huginn and Muninn fly each day over the spacious earth. I fear for Huginn that he come not back, yet more anxious am I for Muninn". The text is written on narrow strips of tracing paper, so the ravens can be seen behind the words, and the strips are sewn to the page using vertical runs of red linen thread.

A scrap of parchment pegged to a string, with text written in a rounded gothic style reading "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well" - Julian of Norwich
