A positive November start
Never an easy month as autumnal weather moves in and we have had stormier weather and rain. Each week now is a mystery as to how many visitors / customers I will see. On Tuesday I was in the shop as the weather meant it as far too wet to be outside and I had …
Terrific Tuesday
Best Tuesday for sales since September 2021 during PAW 2021 and the month I opened AndyKnillStudio. So today was good for sales but also constructive with work done / completed. First work task was labelling and putting on sale cards 11 to 18 of the Kayaker series featuring my Linoprint cut. Then I went onto …
PAW 2022 first weekend
May has been a very slow month, unsurprisingly as the cost of living crisis deepens and art is in no way an essential item to be buying. The question in my mind would PAW see the usual art lovers out and about? Two days in and I have taken this month’s sales from my worst …
Printers and sketching
I placed an order for mainly reprints last week and some new pieces too. Today we collected my order, left a new one for my recently completed panorama and a card order for an artist friend. We always combine a visit to the printer with some time out and a drive in the Dorset countryside. …

I now have two new hats available for sale – Boatlife and Sealife and have started the work on my new personal pith helmet. Two new original postcards drawn yesterday, one has sold …
100th birthday cards
My mother in law celebrated her 100th birthday today and until you celebrate someone’s 100th birthday do you find out how easy or difficult it is to find a suitable card as the ideal is seen as a card with the number on. So we went for smaller helium balloons rather than huge numbers. A …
New month – studio month 7
So a very wet day meant the flag didn’t have to get wet as the new hanging sign shows where I am. Not feeling at my best today and no customers but I did complete two card designs from scratch. In both cases these are the original line drawings based on my own photos. Yep, …
More linocut time today
So the first linocut product for 2022 – ‘Kayaker’ as a greetings card. I have made the decision that I will hand print at the studio all pieces I produce this year and that each design will be produced as a limited edition. The first card (above) is a series of 100 and the first …
