One of my favourite Christmas presents this year was a copy of Random Spectacular, the new bi-annual (hopefully) publication from St. Judes.
Its a stunning collaboration between artists, makers and printers that include Mark Hearld, Angie Lewin, Emily Sutton, Ed Kluz, Jake Tilson, Paul Bommer, Rob Ryan, Jonny Hannah, with literally each page even more awe inspiring than the last.
As well as being a huge fan of Angie Lewins work, I love all the artists and printmakers that exhibit with St. Judes and was extremely excited when I heard about this collaboration and ordered it immediately.
I was really well behaved when it arrived though and handed it over to be wrapped up for Christmas day ( I was very tempted not to even mention that I'd ordered it, so that I wouldn't have to wait).
But it was well worth it because I love how with each page I think that I've found my favourite print and favourite style of print, only to think it all over again when I turn to the next page.
I could never tire of looking at artwork as beautiful as this and am determined that this is the year I shall visit St. Judes Gallery in person.
Its kind of mean of me to share this though because it sold out of all its 750 copies in the first 48 hours, so it's no longer available, but you can find out more about future editions here.
Plus, I wanted to congratulate everyone involved with Random Spectacular, because not only is it completely spectacular, but all of the proceeds from the sales went to the cancer charity Maggies Cancer Caring Centre.
