Would you look at that, only our print, adorning the wall of one of the best pub's in Derbyshire (according to the Telegraph) Holly Bush Inn Makeney 2.0 It's our little way of saying Thank you for their support during the last year.

🛎️ Ding-ding! 🛎️ Research* results are in.

A whopping 98% of Festival Weekend visitors to my shop venue proved themselves - by virtue of doing no ding - respectful, literate, compliant and risk-averse.

These are precisely the consumer profile characteristics demanded of those looking to enjoy my artwork.

The other 2% - for ‘Others’ they truly are - left my premises wearing the badge of shame.

Well done, 98% of everyone 🖤

*Quantitative study only. Assumes 100% of visitors saw bell and notice. Sample includes very small children, babies and dogs. (100% of dogs did not do a ding.) Other assumptions apply. Thank you.

I have such exciting news! At this weekend’s Wirksworth Art & Architecture Trail, I’m showing for the first time my Japanese Series, ‘I Like Today.’

Developed with the wonderful and generous talents of Japanese translator and artisan, Chi, of ‘a twist’ (please check out their beautiful textile, homeware and print creations on instagram) this selection of Inky Conditions pieces has been given a new, fresh visual interpretation.

12x12 inch prints, made in Leeds on Perlino Cotton Heavy paper will be on sale exclusively at my Venue 55, up North End at WirksworthFestival 🖤

Proper lovely job this one was. Righteous cheers to all at Typeset Attack Brewery 🍻

Really chuffed to see the first of our specially commissioned posters designed by local graphic art hero Inky Conditions up on the wall in White Hart Bargate !

You'll soon be able to buy one for yourself at the forthcoming Battle of The Breweries on 26th/27th September at Crich Brew Co tap room in Belper. We'll also be pouring some our beers and selling bottles and other merch too!

Hello! When you visit Haddon Hall in Derbyshire today, and on Saturday and again on Sunday, remember to dip yer hip and swing yer pants to the left-hand side at The Gatehouse.

For it is *there* you’ll find a 70’s style buffet (but in a non-creepy way) of artisanal makes from local makers and craftspeople - all very fabulously happening through the generous talents of Arbor Farrow’s Billie-Jo 🌟

INKY CONDITIONS cards, prints, art prints and calendars are all neatly arranged and displayed for you to enjoy and buy.

Also please have a grand time visiting Haddon Hall 💚
