Staff Art Exhibition

In my other life I work at City College

in Norwich and some of the staff there have

organised an exhibition to raise money for

the student exhibition. I am taking part

(and I got to design the poster !) its in

the Castle Mall on the ground floor next

to Argos, so come and pop your nose in!

Help !

We need to paint all these drying racks, 

oh and the walls! Any volunteers much appreciated!

T-Shirts

Testing out the textile printing facilities

at Stew with some Bonfire Band t-shirts

rooms we are building. There will be an

auction of artwork, a floating Christmas

forest, games and even stew (to eat)

Clutter City

Will be selling my wares at Norwich

Arts Centre on Saturday 28th November

Summer Holidays

Spent the summer camping round Europe,

there are some more holiday snaps on my

website, which I might sell as prints if

people like what they see

Diamond Bruv

I'm going to run with this one:

greetings cards, t-shirts the works!

Watch this space....

More Band stuff....

Jordan

Just back from a mind blowingly amazing couple of

weeks in Jordan (the country not the page 3 model)

where my brother is studying, my camera took some

beaut photos. Thoroughly recommend it - Got to go

to Petra where they filmed Indiana Jones,

dada da da da der da....

New Screenprint!

Long story behind this one: inspired by

a song by Ben Grizzly which in turn was

inspired by a Johnny Cash interview.

Thankyou Lewis for holding up the poster

while I took the picture!

For sale at my folksy shop

Lucha Libre !

A combination of a woodcut print

and collage this one, inspired by

Mexican wrestling masks and available

in a range of colours

Bonfire Band

Have been doing some poster design work

for my friends The Bonfire Band. Check

out their myspace they are pretty awesome.

Exhibition with Lucian Freud and Howard Hodgkin!

Well sort of.... they went to the same school

as me (although many moons before me I would

like to point out) and therefore their work

is in this exhibition celebrating artists past

and present who have been to the school. I think

that is my best claim to fame to date!

It is at The Gallery in Cork Street (London)

from the 1st to the 6th of December

Christmas Open Studios

Stuck for what to buy those special

people in your life for Christmas?

Pop down to the Muspole Workshops

and visit myself and other crafty

types for handmade gifts to suit

every taste and pocket.

Norwich Print Fair

I am taking part in this little beauty.

Definitely worth a gander if you are

in the vicinity. Beauty, awe, inspiration,

wonderment and inspiration all through the

medium of printmaking. Oh and buy a raffle

ticket while you are there to be in with a

chance of winning limited edition prints

from the artists taking part.

Also available in.....

More Records! Using Gold and White ink,

printed on Somerset Black Velvet Paper

Broken Record

Don't worry no records were harmed during the

making of this collograph (apart from Cliff

Richard ones!)

Achtung!

Here for your visual delight a new collograph

print inspired by Constructivist graphics. It

was a bit tricksy to ink up so I think it will

be available in a very limited edition of 5!

I have the bestest friends ever (you know who you are)

They got me an agfa isolette camera for my birthday

which takes gorgeous photos - there are more on my

website - love you guys!

New Collographs

These follow on from the work I was doing on 'Cogs'

for my degree. Martin Mitchell very kindly let me

print them up at his studio on Muspole Street,

check out his work here.

In the Guardian!!!

Even better- Get a mention in the Guardian

by Harland Miller when he does an article

about the award; and I quote "Joanna Stafford's

design for Nick Stone's 'Mr Clarinet' is worthy

of its 'high commendation' for its sinister and

atmospheric appeal"

Degree Show Time

Roll up ! Roll up ! Its degree show time!

Check out my stuff.....

Penguin Design Awards
