The Sixth Instalment in my 2025 print collection.
Each month I update this websites homepage with a new piece of artwork. Partly because it’s nice to visitors to see something new when they arrive but mostly because it’s a fun way for me to keep my design ‘chops’ sharp. So I decided to turn these pieces into prints for you to enjoy.
