If you think you know screen-printing, think again – you ‘aint seen nothing until you’ve witnessed the skilful creations of squeegee-master Jeffrey Dell. Jeffrey knows more about printing through silk than anyone else we’ve come across; from complex gradients to precision registration, he’s got all bases covered. The problem with someone like that is picking out work to show from a portfolio in which excellent work is rife. Do you choose the monochromatic renderings of venetian cityscapes overrun with pitch-dark birds? Or how about the subtle single-panel frames of muted colours overlaid to stunning chromatic effect? In the end we just went for the vibrant images of cake composed from brightly coloured gradients and polka-dots. Call us simple but we’re pretty enamoured with these inky confections and their instant charm.
