My prints always celebrate colour and shape. The more clashing colours the merrier! I could design all my shapes on a computer; to get a straight line, sharp curve or a “perfect” circle. But a clunky cut out circle is much more perfect to me.

I love getting my hands dirty in the studio making beautiful mistakes. To me, screen printing is an art form, and I celebrate all the pinholes, mis-registration, crossover of colours, splodges, bleeds and streaks.

The story behind the business
Meet Newton Davey

Graduate of the Picture book MA at Cambridge School of art, I worked in publishing for over 20 years - surrounded by my biggest love and inspiration - BOOKS.

My happy place is where words and images collide, celebrating this in my story telling and printmaking.

I think of myself an image maker and ‘build’ all my images by hand - with no computers! - cutting and scribbling with many types of REAL pens and pencils; montaging and taping to tracing paper to then expose directly to a screen to screenprint.
