Beano artist signs Comic Art screenprints

Veteran comics maestro David Sutherland has signed a selection of my screenprints which use images originally drawn by him for The Beano.

He has signed half a dozen of four different prints, all on paper: Dennis Face x 9, Dennis Sweet Shop Owners, Bash Street Kids Teacher Silly Me and Biffo watches telly.

David said:  "The screenprints bring a new life and new dimensions. I draw them quite small, at 6 inches by 4 inches, and when you see it bigger, when you pick out individuals, that's when it becomes so different. It's not telling a story any more - you're looking more at the composition and colours."

His favourite was the one of Dennis's head repeated nine times: "That Andy Warhol-style one, with the rows of Dennis's face, looks very good. I liked that one in particular."
