Once more I invite you to tear your disbelieving gaze from the almost inconceivably badly written tragedy that currently masquerades as reality, and look upon a new screen print made at the Slowly Downward Manufactory. This is titled 'Devils Crying' and I think (if my memory is any good) that it was made originally with old books from the Oxfam shop in Oxford, a malfunctioning photocopier, ballpoint pens and a computer. It has now been recreated with several colours of ink, a shiny varnish and paper, and it definitely was, as it says, printed in Great Britain; an entity which appears to be crumbling as I type.
We've used a metallic silver with green pigment overlaid with high gloss varnish for the bookplate motif, which nicely captures the light. The whole phrase, before I partially erased it, read 'A good book is the precious lifeblood of a master-spirit' and was written by John Milton in 1644. I'm not sure what it means but it's something about reading being generally a good thing, although some of the novels I've read would cast that into question. Anyway! Never mind, never mind. If you're interested and might like to find out more about, or even perhaps buy one, do click the link below. Salut.
