Someone has created a brilliant interactive map of Ukiyo-e prints showing the locations depicted in prints by Utagawa Hiroshige.
Edited: With a little bit of searching I’ve just found out that it was created by a computer science undergraduate called George.
Well done George, and thank you!

I’ll be at the Black Swan’s Summer Art Car Boot sale, at the Old Cattle Market Car Park in Frome, on Sunday 16th July. This is a wonderful event, one of my favourites every year. It is a great opportunity to meet over 50 artists and makers, and you can buy art direct from the artists without paying a commission. If you are looking for affordable art, this is the place to buy it.

I’ve been adding some pages to my site, to group together some of the prints by subjects. So far, I’ve written about the Retrochoir and the Scissor Arches.
I have been interviewed by Jake Kennedy of ProbablyPrints for his wonderful blog, all about printmaking. You can see the interview and others here.
On the 4th March I’ll be running another one day “Introduction to Linocut” workshop in Wells.
The workshop will be from 10:00 till 4:00 and is a great opportunity for beginners to try out linocut printing. The cost is £55.00.
Here’s a list of the artists taking part in the Cam Valley Arts Trail this year, on the 7th and 8th of November. We shall be there selling our linocuts.
