With the move to Penzance in a month looming I haven't been working on much over the festive period and will be packing my studio here up next week. I have been experimenting with some three dimensional paintings of late though [see below]. I will releasing some digital prints while I am temporarily studioless, the first of which is below, imaginatively titled Square 1. It is 20" x 20" in an edition of 5, with certificate of authenticity.

I've been unable to get any painting done this week as the contents of the kitchen are in the studio while it is refitted. So, I've been toying with going back to Shopify again after two or three years with Etsy. I don't do a lot of online sales but I want to introduce a monthly limited edition print feature to dropship on a certain day and the Shopify starter plan looks to do the trick. It hasn't been without its headaches though, getting various applications to synch up, hitting an option I shouldn't have done and getting myself onto the basic plan unnecessarily. But I think I have it under control now. There are four old prints on there at the moment, that I have used for setting up purposes. My Etsy store is still live until late June and I need to actually create the limited edition prints that I intend to sell but here is the link to the page where it will all happen eventually. ​Steve Wilde Abstracts

Print orders from my Etsy shop must be received by the following dates to be in time for dropshipping from Creative Hub. ​Please note: These are guidelines only. There are no guarantees that your order will arrive by, on or before December 24th, due to elements beyond our control. We recommend to order as soon as possible.

Thank you to Aire Place Studios for sending me a PDF of the catalogue for the Print It! 2022 exhibition earlier this month. I couldn't make it up to Leeds to see the show for myself and a catalogue was promised in the post but I haven't received one yet.

I am now able to offer the ability to pay in instalments for any works [over £100.00]. I need to update the website to add this to product pages but if there is anything you are interested in while I do that* please email me. This has all been made possible by Go Cardless.

* I feel a bit of a product page update coming on and I'm rethinking whether to continue using any sort of 3rd party merchant store, so this could take a while as I am in the middle of painting a new series of work.
