Happiness is a butterfly

Posca Pen on Ilford Archival Watercolour paper, A3 (29.7x42cm), 2025. Unframed. 

Following the success of the rice paper originals, I'm releasing a super limited range of full size originals on heavy duty watercolour paper. These pieces are rigid, toothy, and a throw back to the original Easty.

This genuine art paper is certifiably archival, acid-free, made by the best in the business, making for an affordable art keepsake that will last forever.

I slipped into creating digitally so quickly that I didn't actually realise I had, in my mind, completely departed from the idea of creating with hand to paper ever again. Prints felt more profitable, more playful, more exploratory, and they were. But I think with some departure from my Posca pens on paper that I lost an element of the original Easty. There's a style to the linework of using Posca pens that is basically impossible to perfectly replicate, and I think so much of my artistic personality comes from those tiny, almost imperceivable, nuances in the lines.

It's nice to step back into the tactile Easty with these four pieces. This limited collection contains works that are soft and muted, but never mistaken for boring. They're strange prompts to enter a new dimension; the weird and wild nature of Easty's world. 

They are beautiful and one of a kind. When hung in a classic stained wood frame, they'll make for a quiet signpost of conversation in any space. In your home, when you need the feeling within reach, or in any corporate outpost, when inspiration is required fuel to travel through the week. 

All my works are shipped flat in unbendable rigid, reinforced cardboard mailers. They are protected against the elements by a plastic-free compostable slip, and include a hand-written note of gratitude from Easty herself.
