About The Artwork

'Tea Time' 2018 24x31" 5 layers for this print. This is a real print. What comes out of the printer is the original art. Tea or coffee is used to start the day but it never seems to stop. Especially for creating. By 1900, the average tea consumption per person in Britain was a staggering 6lb a year. But it's one of the extraordinary ironies of British national identity - that the drink that epitomizes Britishness is not actually British at all and is the result of a complex imperial history. The American tea culture is a part of the history of the United States,. Tea became a very popular drink in the colonies, and tea ceremonies were common among all classes. By the time of the American Revolution, tea was drunk everywhere from the backwoods to the cities. However, tea and tea taxes became a bone of contention between the Colonies and Great Britain. This led to the 1773 Boston Tea Party, a precipitating event of the Revolution when angry Colonists destroyed the tea cargo of three British ships by dumping them into the harbor. As a consequence, tea drinking became unpatriotic. Paper size, 24”x31” (size can be larger with special printing). Limited edition of 30 prints on heavy watercolor paper. Hand-signed, named, numbered and dated.

Born in the U.S. Educated in the U.K. I describe my approach as print layerism. It’s a combination of analog and digital thinking. It’s where the lithographic technique that Toulouse Lautrec employed meets limitless digital possibilities. It's the separations or layers from old school technology transferred to a computer screen. Each layer is like a printing plate. There are between four and 40 layers per print. Every piece starts off with a sketch. Throughout history, ideas have started as a scribble on paper, a drawing on wet sand or on the back of a napkin—from cave paintings to Michelangelo’s sketchbooks. Consider the clothes you wear. The airplane. The iconic stop sign. Just look around and you'll find that nearly every design you see started off as a sketch. That's what makes sketches so intriguing. My sketches are not copied like a poster and then printed. I add layers and depth, transforming the original drawing with a modern perspective. What comes out of the printer is original art. The output is an archival print, produced by an archival inkjet printer on thick watercolor paper. Limited edition of 30 prints only, named, dated and signed before the file is destroyed.
