it's a giveaway day!

OK folks! It's time for my very first giveaway!! About bloody time I hear you cry! My all new Etsy shop is up and running and generating interest... so in celebration of this auspicious event I am giving away a free 'Beef Cuts' 9x11 print - a gallery quality Giclée print on heavyweight 180gsm matte paper printed with long-lasting archival inks. It's a thing of beauty of which I am especially proud.


Simply leave a comment below with your name and email address. I will pull a winner out of the hat on Friday 4th February. And as I'm feeling generous today the winner will also receive a one-time 15% discount coupon for my shop!

Good luck!

Giveaway is open until midnight PST. Winner will be notified Saturday 5 February.

a request

There are a few strange creatures in the world who have an obsession with envelope security patterns - that is the patterns that are found on the inside of the envelopes containing your bills and so on. I am one such person. A number of years ago I started to collect them and scan them. I collected a staggering 5 patterns! I am always using them in my work and just think they are so, well, pretty.
I've suddenly got the urge to create a large work with them... a map of the world made up of security patterns. I've done a test with the USA...


If I had more than 5 patterns, the map of the world would be that much more interesting of course. That is where you my dear friends come in. I need high res (300 dpi) scans* of envelope security patterns. Can you help me? Please send them to onelittlebird (at) ymail (dot) com. Anyone who sends me more than 10 different (usable) patterns will get a free print (once I've done it).

*Of course if you can always post some to me old style if you prefer :)

retro perfection

Killer retro work from Stevaker Design for Urban Stack Burger Lounge.

prints are here!

Rather tickled pink to receive some rather beautiful giclee prints of my work this morning. They look gorgeous! Not the work, as that would be blowing my own trumpet, which I don't want to do, but the quality of the print is fantastic! And I'm a fussy bugger...



I will be putting these and more for sale in the shop in the next week.
