Hepworth Print Fair - chat with James Green

Had quick chat printmaker James Green. I wasn't really aware of him and his wokr till I was resurch the fair before hand but his practise reveols around lino print , so thought it would be worth talking to him. He said that he originally graduated from fine art about 20 years ago and found it impossible to esablish himself. Mainly becuase there was no social media or internet. He only found lino printing a few years ago and since has become obsest with it. He dosn't class himself as a illustrator but his tip for a graduate of any creative course is network and keep on making. He mentioned that he is currently working on a commition for English Herritage and there site at stone henge but he much prefers working on his own work and selling it. The Donkey prints below are an example of this. He like making prints and pins to sell rather than physical products. Without the social media he also said it would be really hard to get commintions , there are a nesseity to get money.
