Description
A handmade frameable A4 print to inspire you to ALWAYS seize the day and make an impact!
Need to know
I love using the heritage craft skills of letterpress printing to bring back to life images from the past. I found these beautiful swimmers in an old magazine and asked Lisa at Lyme Bay Press on the Isle Of Wight to make them into photopolymer plates so I could bring them back to life for a new audience. I then added ess oil-based inspirational wording and handprinted this in two colours using Lyme Bay Press oil-based ink on a vintage press.
The dimensions are A4 (210 x 297 mm) so that it is easily framed by popping into a ready made frame. It is on stiff card and looks perfect on the wall or on a desk. Anywhere in fact that could do with a bit of extra splash to start the day!
I made an edition of TEN and this is Number 1! Right now I am keeping the other 9 back so.....grab it while you can...

My name is Simon Trewin, Founder and Chief Inkoholic. My prints, books and cards always start out with me scratching my head and thinking, “I wonder what would happen if I...." and then I am away!
Experimentation is at the heart of my practice - I love playing around with inks, vintage papers, wooden illustration blocks and historic metal type to a clanking soundtrack of my wonderful family of hand+foot operated presses. I also love classic typefaces, bold colours and an ever-present sense of how good prints can make a real instant impact. As you will see - I can rarely resist sprinkling a sense of humour in to the mix too!
Running through everything I do is my passion to help keep heritage crafts alive and to enjoy that sense of a historical connection to the printers, presses and ephemera that have come before me. I also truly believe in the benefits of slowing down, switching off and zoning into the deep focus that this process of discovery inspires in me.
In a world where everything is too fast, I enjoy nothing more than closing my studio door and diving into the rich and ever-rewarding world of letterpress printmaking.
