Hellow Glasgow

Haven't had much time for drawing and such, let alone blogging since making the switch to Glasgow. Starting to settle in now and with a week off on the horizon, I should get some sketching time fitted in and hopefully maybe even a final print for the 'Humble Abodes' collection I've been working on.

Messing around with an ink and water pen that I purchased a few years back and have never actually used.

Queen's Park Chap.

Being less active art-wise, although I don't necessarily see that as a good thing, has given me a chance to enjoy some sports. Starting to get into the NHL this season (in particular the Maple Leafs), thanks to a little guidance from Ian Turner. Also went to see Queen's Park FC (our local football team on Saturday), rather looking forward to following a local team as I can't really watch Everton at the moment, except for televised matches of course. More to come in the next week or so when I'm off.

The Back of Beyond (New Print)

Finally got around to the second image for the 'Humble Abodes' idea, hopefully the third and final print is not too far away from fruition either, but we'll see. Anybody interested in this piece will be happy to know that it's now on sale in my Etsy shop, here. I have also been meaning to add some sort of a 'News' section to the front page of my website but I've been struggling to come up with a style that suits, as a result it's only changed ever so slightly, visit johnalanbirch.com.

There Would Be ONLY Chaos. (new Etsy additons)

A couple more new prints added to my Etsy shop today. Two digital giclée prints of recent works. 'Chaos Theory' - based on a quote by American author and Olympic athlete Don Kardong. Also a boat themed 'Weathervane'. Both prints were originally mixed media - indian ink, watercolour and pencil.

Happy to have made a few sales this past week. Don't forget though, there's still a few free bonus A6 prints available for those interested in buying some work so head over and see what's available - Etsy.

Currently working on an idea for a set of three A4 prints, humble abodes and their surroundings. Here's the first, a small fishing boat In Wild Waters, more prints to come soon. For those who are interested, this print is currently available in my Etsy shop, here.

Etsy Shop - Now Open!

My Etsy shop is now open for business, sadly I've only been able to list three items so far as I have to go and work today so more will be added later in the day. Visit my shop here and have a look at the Screenprints available just now and remember, the first 15 orders will receive a little bonus print!

Shop Giveaway Winners

Limited edition prints

The giveaway to celebrate the opening of my illustration shop finished this evening and winners Bryony Crane (website) and Bark Pamphlet (website) can expect a set of 5 limited edition A6 prints and a badge (shown above) in the post over the next few days. They will be the only people to own the full set of these prints; however, fear not those of you that didn't manage to win the giveaway as my Etsy shop (all going smoothly) will be open for business on Sunday evening and the first 15 orders will receive one of the above prints and a badge as a little bonus with their chosen print.

I am currently waiting on a couple more digital prints too including 'Chaos Theory' and 'Weathervane', so hopefully they'll arrive in time for the opening.

More to come.
