Vintage grooming bits and bobs will feature in the next print in the 'Chess Masters' trio. This will be Chuck Berry. I always think he looked like a very smooth and dapper chap in his publicity shots for Chess Records in the 50's.

Here is a veritable smorgasbord of freshly completed 'Diddley Jets' hot off the Albion press

Final stage, add darker colour over the head and a couple of ray guns- Bingo!

Stage Four: a bit of green lino print for the portrait of Bo Diddley is slapped over the top over the masked out bit. Bingo only two more layers to go!

Stage three: next layer of a darker lino colour with space masked out to add the head

Stage 2: a lovely orange colour layer is added from the whole lino plate over the top of the spray paint and dot screen stencil. How exciting!

Here's the start of a series of pictures of a print in process. Layer 1 spray paint and silk screen stencil. Be sure to stayed tuned for the next inthralling installment when a layer of lino print colour is added.

Here's a double brace of Lumpy Lollies also just completed this week

New edition of Howlin' Wolf print. Hurrah! Just completed these bad boys today

Independent record store day today, so heres a picture of a 45 of Primitive Love by Crest records recording star Tom Reeves spinning on an AMI G120 jukebox. I'm sure this record was a smash hit chart topper recently, but perhaps it wasn't. Sorry don't know how to rotate the image yet.

Frank Whittles jet engine makes an appearance in my Bo Diddley print, its a little play on words as Bo's guitars were often based on Gretsch's Jet series of twangers from the fifties, also its a nod to the space age atomic jet powered future, as a contrast to the 'jungle' rhythms normally associated with Bo's pounding music. I have always been inspired by the way Bo often made his own guitar effects, and took an experimental approach to creating strange noises on his funny shaped guitars.

Bloody hell, heres another one!

Hello and welcome to my slightly dull blog, at least there is a picture now.
