“I have something to say”… yes folks it is finally here, the brand new limited edition ‘Kurgan’ T-shirt which will launch this weekend upon my stall at Tynemouth market. The fourth design in my ‘Across the Wire‘ series it utilises my original hand carved lino cut artwork and this particular design is limited to only 100 editions! Printed front and back it will retail at £28.00 and will go live exclusively on my clothing partners website to order at www.purpleparsnip.com from tomorrow and I will have the initial stock range available with me over the weekend. With the ‘Highlander’ remake screening later this year, this is the perfect way of celebrating the amazing Clancy Brown and his legendary Kurgan… ‘I’ts better to burn out than to fade away’

‘The Mad Axeman’ … so we’re back at Tynemouth this weekend and as promised here are the latest additions to my stall…Firstly we have a brand new limited edition print taken from from my original pastel portrait of the mercurial Michael Schenker. Celebrating his 50th year in music, this simply seemed the ideal way to pay tribute to my favourite rock guitarist.
Joining him will also be the next batch of limited edition framed bespoke prints from my original hand carved lino artwork of the ‘Kurgan’. With both these designs soon to be available as T-shirts and/or Hoodies, stay tuned folks and enjoy your weekend whatever you are up to.

Home sweet home… okay folks here is the third design in my project of brand new military hoodies featuring the ‘Operation Veteran’ charity. So the front design of ‘Coming Home’ features my original colour painting which was inspired by a historical black & white WWII shot of a 514 Squadron Lancaster and its crew returning to their base at RAF Waterbeach, after a daylight raid on October 14th 1944. The back design again features a stylish graphic that includes direct links to the local charity ‘Operation Veteran’ which helps ex-military personnel back into civilian life after completing their service. A premium quality garment which will retail at £45 each and for every hoodie sold we will then donate £5 direct to the charity… just an ideal way for me to help support, celebrate and raise awareness of ‘Operation Veteran’.

All three designs will be available on my stall at Tynemouth from this weekend and all will be available to order online from today, at my clothing partners usual website at www.purpleparsnip.com

Aces High… okay folks here is the second design in my brand new military hoodies ‘Operation Veteran’ project… ‘Battle of Britain’ is another of my original colour drawings which was inspired by a historical black & white WWII shot of 32nd Squadron Pilots at Hawkinge airfield during the airborne conflict of summer 1940. The back print is a stylish graphic that includes direct links to the local charity ‘Operation Veteran’ which helps ex-military personnel back into civilian life after completing their service. These hoodies will retail at £45 each and for every one sold we will donate £5 direct to the charity… just an ideal way to help support, celebrate and raise awareness of ‘Operation Veteran’. Watch out for the final design tomorrow and again If you can’t wait, this garment goes live to order online later today, available through my clothing partners usual website at purpleparsnip.com

3,2,1… okay folks this Saturday at Tynemouth market sees the launch of my brand new military hoodies project, which will feature direct links to a local charity ‘Operation Veteran’ which helps ex-military personnel back into civilian life after completing their service. So the first design up today is ‘Who Dares Wins’ featuring my original colour drawing inspired by a historical black & white WWII shot of messers Stirling, Mane and the original SAS upon the front. The back is a stylish graphic that includes the charity logo, slogan and website details. This premium quality garment will retail at £45 each and for every hoodie sold we will then donate £5 direct to the charity. Following many collaborations with charity founder Jim Owens, this project just seemed an ideal way for me to help support, celebrate and raise awareness of ‘Operation Veteran’.

Watch out for the second design tomorrow, but If you can’t wait until the weekend to get your own hoodie, the garment goes live and available to order online from later today at my clothing partners usual website at purpleparsnip.com
