It’s taken from a spread from ‘Rain Day’, a lovely book published by Duke Press, second edition coming out soon (keep your eyes peeled, the first edition sold out instantly). This print is a 3-colour print - black line work of the cages, a dusky green sign and a full rainbow of colour used in a blend for the feathers. Hannah graduated from the University of Brighton in 2007 where she completed a BA in Illustration. Since then, she has enjoyed working freelance in London and Berlin on a variety of projects as well as developing her own practice, which is predominantly exercised in the book form. Hannah has chosen Great Ormand Street Hospital to receive 10% of the profits from her print. http://cargocollective.com/earlygriffin/Series-5-David-Galletly http://cargocollective.com/earlygriffin/following/earlygriffin/Series-5-David-Galletly Tue, 29 Jun 2010 13:58:12 +0000 Early Griffin Press 486187 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486187/galletly500.jpg" border="0" width="420" height="500" width_o="420" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486187/galletly500_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486187/DGclose1.jpg" border="0" width="375" height="500" width_o="375" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486187/DGclose1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486187/DGclose2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="499" width_o="671" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486187/DGclose2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486187/DGclose3.jpg" border="0" width="667" height="500" width_o="667" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486187/DGclose3_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486187/DGclose4.jpg" border="0" width="375" height="500" width_o="375" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486187/DGclose4_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486187/DGclose5.jpg" border="0" width="447" height="500" width_o="447" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486187/DGclose5_o.jpg" align="left" /> Two-colour screen print 40cm x 50cm Signed and numbered edition of 50 Archival, acid free 200gsm white Heritage paper £40 each <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> We’ve had the happy pleasure of knowing David for a while now and love his intricate, patient lines and gentle but dark sense of humour. Anyone who knows his work will recognise his favourite bright red and black colour combo, and the detail in his drawing. 'Rockets' is a 2 colour print which sits playfully off centre and goes all the way down to the bottom edge. ‘The Rocket artwork came about through playing around with water patterns in my sketchbook. These quickly became smoke patterns and eventually ended up as quite a jolly little firework drawing. From there I began working on slightly more sinister versions of the image - trying to make it a little unclear whether the rockets were something positive (fireworks / spacecraft etc) or something more destructive (bombs / missiles etc). It's a pretty straightforward piece of work but I like the little contrast between the time-consuming, patient pattern in the print and the blink-and-you'll-miss-it reality of the subject. Kinda like all that potential energy all stored up in these things waiting to go off.’ David Galletly is a freelance artist and illustrator living and working in Stirling, Scotland. He graduated with a degree in graphic design but returned to an old love of drawing after too much time spent in front of a computer. His work often explores humour, nostalgia and loneliness through playful use of pattern and line. David has exhibited throughout the UK, Europe and the USA. David has chosen the Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland.to receive 10% of the profits from his print. http://cargocollective.com/earlygriffin/Series-5-Christopher-Bettig http://cargocollective.com/earlygriffin/following/earlygriffin/Series-5-Christopher-Bettig Tue, 29 Jun 2010 13:58:11 +0000 Early Griffin Press 486194 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486194/bettig500.jpg" border="0" width="404" height="500" width_o="404" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486194/bettig500_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486194/CBclose1.jpg" border="0" width="667" height="500" width_o="667" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486194/CBclose1_o.jpg" align="left" /> {image 3}<img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486194/CBclose3.jpg" border="0" width="615" height="492" width_o="615" height_o="492" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486194/CBclose3_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486194/CBclose4.jpg" border="0" width="667" height="500" width_o="667" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486194/CBclose4_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486194/CBclose5.jpg" border="0" width="667" height="500" width_o="667" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/486194/CBclose5_o.jpg" align="left" /> Three-colour screen print 40cm x 50cm Signed and numbered edition of 50 Archival, acid free 200gsm white Heritage paper £40 each <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> Chris’s name came up as someone we wanted to work with before we’d even agreed on our own name, so we are so pleased to have him here. He’s an expert with pattern and colour and uses both to great effect in this print. The bold graphics recall those amazing sci-fi book jackets from the 60’s.

The more you look at the faces the more you see. Holly explores a variety of subject matter through self-initiated and commercial work for a range of international clients. She systematically experiments with materials and subject and enjoys work which has a story to tell. She is always keen to learn new ways of making things look good and meeting like-minded people to collaborate with.

His ‘Gigantic Robot’ is a fantastically huge metal beast, looming on the horizon. I hope we see more of him in Tom’s future work. It’s 2 colours, silver and black. Tom Gauld (b. 1976) is a Scottish cartoonist and illustrator. He now lives and works in London with his partner Jo and their two daughters.

Rachel’s print is one colour, the ink lovingly mixed to be as close to graphite as we could get. “The drawings I make of places, objects and people attempt to somehow explain emotional states or a feeling. An inanimate object or an animal will often become utterly representative of something I feel. A place, story, image from a picture book, photograph, remembered scene from a film or specific place I remember from my childhood will seem to sum up an emotion. The act of drawing is as integral as the subject matter and drawing with graphite pencil is the most direct and natural way for me to work. I also like the association of graphite pencil with childhood/teenage drawing. I often draw at night, to music and use songs and their associations with memory as a background to my drawings and as the soundtracks to the films I make in collaboration with Steve Richards”. Rachel has chosen Amnesty International as her favoured charity. http://cargocollective.com/earlygriffin/Series-3-French http://cargocollective.com/earlygriffin/following/earlygriffin/Series-3-French Mon, 21 Jun 2010 22:35:41 +0000 Early Griffin Press 357666 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/357666/French500.jpg" border="0" width="355" height="500" width_o="355" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/357666/French500_o.jpg" align="left" /> Three-colour screen print 50cm x 70cm (B2) Signed and numbered edition of 50 Archival, acid free 200gsm white Heritage paper £50 each <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> French’s ‘Boar Tree’ seems to take inspiration from mediaeval woodcuts and manages to be beautiful and twisted at the same time. It’s warm green and brown are set off perfectly by the amazingly detailed black line work. French hails from Aldershot, a part of the UK known for its Army Base – a good place to start an interest in torn body parts. An obsession with Metal music informs his work that literally draws the line between the magnificent and the repulsive. His sensitive and detailed line work show’s beauty in the revolting. French’s recent clients include Pointer, Carhart, Uniqlo and Slam City and he has exhibited widely across the globe. French would like 10% of the profits of this print to go to L.O.S.T., a charity that helps and supports those affected by solvent abuse. http://cargocollective.com/earlygriffin/Series-4-Stuart-Kolakovic http://cargocollective.com/earlygriffin/following/earlygriffin/Series-4-Stuart-Kolakovic Mon, 21 Jun 2010 22:35:40 +0000 Early Griffin Press 355658 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/355658/stukolakovic500.jpg" border="0" width="356" height="500" width_o="356" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/30061/355658/stukolakovic500_o.jpg" align="left" /> Two-colour screen print 50cm x 70cm (B2) Signed and numbered edition of 50 Archival, acid free 200gsm white Heritage paper SOLD OUT The inspiration for Stuart’s print came from an old etching he found of a French man, called Margat, who rode his white stag, Coco, around in a hot air balloon in 1798!
