Currently I am doing a Graduate Artist Residency at London Centre for Book Arts and I’ve just finished this small concertina book titled ‘Pocket Sunset’. Inside is a gradient printed using a F.A.G Proofing Press and the cover is book cloth with two different gold foils using a PräGnant press for foil blocking. A simple idea kept simple (which wasn’t easy!).

Today I had the afternoon off so I strolled through China Town and did some sketching. I noticed for the first time the back alleys in China Town and found Lo’s Noodle Factory (top image).

Bambino English Playschool Hong Kong, 2015

The architecture in Hong Kong is so captivating - this one is of all the fans commonly seen on the outside of the buildings. I really like how old and rundown everything looks as it gives a very humbling atmosphere to the island.

I took this photo whilst on a moving tram in Hong Kong. I’m Super please with how it came out - the colours and composition are great. I didn’t have to do any post-production editing too.

For any locals/regulars - its along Hennessy Road from Causeway Bay towards Central at some point.

I've been doing a bit of monotype printmaking at the old London Centre for Book Arts. Check out these beauties - illustrations of imaginary gardens and green house (loosely inspired by Kew Gardens)

A quick sketch from when I was in a taxi going over the flyover (in a taxi) by Happy Valley Racecourse, Hong Kong

[elizabethamyheath]

I finally bought a light box and I've been tracing over some character sketches with pen and ink. I really wanted to keep the loose line work that I love in the quick sketches so the lightbox has worked a charm! These are some characters from a comic I'm working on ^_^

Earlier this week I was over at London Centre for Book Arts in Hackney, East London, having fun creating these beautiful images! The top image is of fashionable girls from memory/imagination, middle image is of a reoccurring female character from one of my fantasy stories, and bottom image is of luxuriously curly hair. All of these images are monoprinted - a generic term used for any printing technique that only allows for one print to be taken.

I enjoy being in the print workshops and creating images whilst at the printing press. I think I will do a little relief printing with Lino next time! I have been quite inspired by MC Escher’s woodcuts on display at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, London.
