The weight and beautiful mottled texture of this paper is perfect for fine art printing, as it enables the paper to hold more ink. This creates deep and rich blacks, with high contrast and strong colours. This Hahnemühle paper is sustainably made, vegan, and certified to a very high standard with a life expectancy of 100+ years.

A Giclée print is an archival quality inkjet print. Giclée printers have a higher dot per square inch resolution than normal inkjet printers, enabling a very high quality print. Giclée printers also use a higher quality of fade-resistant, archival, pigment-based inks. This results in an archival quality print which can last for generations.

I drew this piece from photos I’ve taken through lockdown, collaging together flowers from my local walk, from the rose plant outside our front door, from a bouquet my mum and dad sent me for my 5th year tattoo anniversary, and from a beautiful bouquet my florist friend gave me. It’s a fantasy bunch of special lockdown flowers - a reminder from nature that life and beauty coexist with death and suffering always, and there can be reassurance found in that balance. It took me just over 9 hours to create this drawing.
