Work for sale at Patches Market, Malta

Next Sunday the 8th of July will see yet another installment of the now firmly established Patches - Malta's handmade product market (which is, by the way, run by my camera hugging/brush wielding sister Denise Scicluna). This will be I believe the 11th edition yet, and as much as I've always wanted to take part I've never really had much of anything to sell really. Up until now that is. 

So, this time round I'll be having a stall at the market. I will be selling some prints and books of mine but the exciting bit for me is that I will also be selling works by other Maltese (or related) graphic artists. These include - Ken Borg, Thomas Cuschieri, Adrian Gauci and Sara de la Mora. We'll be selling a variety of graphic goodies ranging from prints (riso and screen), artist and comic books, postcards, accessories etc, most of which I believe is going to have been available in Malta for the first time.

For my part, I will be having 3 or 4 new risoprints, a selection of postcards and copies of my book The Birth of Culture up for sale (see pics below). If you're not in Malta at the time then of course do please get in touch if interested in copies of the prints or the book, but for you graphic and illustration enthusiasts who will be in Malta at the time - we expect to see you there!

Hey.

Hi all and and welcome to my fresh fresh blog. Here I'll be posting bits and pieces which don't make it on my new website. It's so new that it's actually not even up yet, but you'll be able to browse through that in a couple of days' time by clicking here. I will meanwhile post some stuff I've been doing recently.

 

I'm currently working on some comic work for the National Museum of Archaeology in Malta for the newly inaugurated Bronze Age section. The picture above is one of the final images. I rarely ever used colour in the few comic doodlings I've done before and having to use colour made me feel slightly unsettled. I tried a couple of approaches different to my previous work which eventually evolved into this ink layering technique, partly inspired by Jon Mc Naught's lovely lithograph work.

Apart from the above I've been mostly occupied with moving to London and hanging out at UCA Maidstone's D&AD New Blood stand where I had some work in a folder.
