Online presence is something I have a lot of for AndyKnillArt but not used efficiently enough. It is something I am aware I could try and do better although I don’t find it as much fun as the art. Yesterday I spent time tidying links up. I have updated the linktr.ee account for the studio …
Yesterday the shop was shut as I lost a whole nights sleep. Today I am here after a day of catch up rest and some sleep overnight. On Thursday we had collected the new Watersports series cards from my printer and I wanted to launch them. So today a changed window display, a new rack …
So Wednesday and a mix of drawing and Lino work today. I had a small block of the easy cut material left and decided to make a small printing stamp with it. I took a photo of a local paddleboarder at the weekend and based the stamp on him. The cutting was better but showed …
My studio day today started with a phone call to a retailer I had ordered items from in December 2021. After my first email one item of my order arrived. Two further emails have not been replied to and today I tried to talk to customer service – no one available – has anyone else …

Today I did quite a bit at the studio. First was checking the proofs of my new card series of Watersports cards which I dropped off at the printer yesterday. I also tidied up the window, valentines cards. I updated my mask sign, ie I will respect customer choice and wear my mask if they …
This morning I focused on cutting more of the linocut of a drystone wall and then using it to produce my third trial piece. I am please with the development and pleasantly surprised that I had the patience after realising yesterday that it really was too complex for your fifth ever design – I might …
I am aware how my range of art skills is limited. I draw with fineliners in pen and ink style or I use two sorts of marker pens – ProMarker and Posca markers for my colour pieces. A few years ago I had a go at linocut printing with swanage Art workshop and last year …
Since I started this thing that I called AndyKnillArt in 2017 I have enjoyed the freedom to share things I have done, tried, succeeded with, failed at in social media posts, blog posts, articles, conversations with people.
