Shine On You Crazy Diamond A2 lino print, hand pulled in a run of 20

£30.00

I was asked to take part in Great Bear Gallery’s The Palette Project: PINK last month and this was the piece it inspired, a lino print based on Pink Floyd’s “Shine On You Crazy Diamond.”

This piece is both a nod to the exhibition’s theme and a personal reminder to keep shining, which marks my debut in lino printing, and I’m stoked with how it turned out. A limited edition run of 20 PINK prints are now available.

I had the absolute pleasure of being part of @greatbear_gallery’s latest exhibition last month 🩷 The Palette Project: PINK 🩷

 

I always seem to be drawn to creating music related art and ‘Shine on you Crazy Diamond’ came to mind not only being an obvious ‘pink’ connection with the song being by the band Pink Floyd, but also has been a song that has resonated with me a lot this last year. A reminder to not let anyone dull your sparkle

 

The lino printing technique I chose to do was something I’d really been wanting to try for a long time. I seem to collect a lot of lino prints from other artists, so used this exhibition as a push to have a go myself and I’m SO HAPPY by how it turned out after this first attempt at a new craft 🩷

 

I have a limited run of 20 PINK prints

 

Thanks for looking
Love and light ✨

About the artist

GEM HAWK

Hiya, I'm Gem. I've been tattooing since 2013. It started as an apprenticeship squeezed in around a graphic design job, then I made the jump to tattooing full time and never looked back. I've worked in studios around Cheshire and Stoke-on-Trent, with guest spots in Derby, Sheffield, Manchester and Nottingham along the way.

In 2019 I opened my own private studio inside an old 18th century potbank in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent. I'm a proper Stokie, so working in one of those buildings means a lot to me. It became Little Hawk Studio in 2022, a home for my tattooing, my illustrations and whatever else I'm making that month, plus guest artists and the odd creative workshop.

My style is delicate but bold. Clean linework, grey dotwork shading, and a bit of traditional and whimsical thrown in. I'm happiest tattooing animals, insects, fruit and florals, and anything with wings.
