"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely flowers..."

A beautiful and unique letterpress print from my own original artwork, specially printed in a limited edition run of 250 on a vintage Heidelberg press, giving a wonderful debossed look and feel (see the close up pictures to get an idea of the texture). Printed in lush black ink on white 100% cotton 300gsm Somerset paper, A4 size (210 x 297 mm, 8.3 x 11.7 inches). The 250 numbered editions have sold out but I have a handful of Artist Proof editions for sale. Each print is signed in pencil to the bottom right-hand corner.

Inspired by Shakespeare's "seven ages of man" speech from As You Like It, and my enduring love for the much-maligned dandelion, this little vintage-style pen-and-ink illustration shows the passing of time through the figure of a dandelion-headed Edwardian English gent, from tiny seed through to an old head blowing into the wind, starting the cycle all over again.

Will be sealed in a cellophane sleeve and shipped in a rigid board-backed envelope for protection.

A copy of this artwork forms part of a permanent collection of art installed at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon (look out for it if you visit!).

The print that I've purchased has quickly become one of my favourite possessions. It's just a really nice piece of art from the unique illustrations to the texture of the paper its all just perfect. I had a little worry about the delivery but was quickly put to ease after asking Jon about it, as per last time the delivery felt very special with the inclusion of a postcard that had an illustration that differed from last time.


Soooo thrilled to get this :) It’s brilliant! Crisp print, promptly shipped, seller is so nice :) Definitely will be back!
