Inspiration and Values
The herring illustrations feature detailed linework, hand-drawn in dark grey ink and with the lyrics from the folk song ‘Dance to your Daddy’ hand-written with a dip pen and ink against a light blue/grey background. The illustration is inspired by the classic North East folk song ‘Dance to your Daddy’, one of many traditional songs celebrating the ‘silver darling’ of the North East fishing industry - the herring.
Sustainability is important to me and I source all of my art prints from an ethical and environmentally-responsible, UK-based company. This one has been printed on to a premium, heavy-weight paper made from sustainably-sourced eucalyptus pulp, using environmentally-friendly ink. I don’t use any plastic in my packaging and there’s always a little extra something in your order as a thank you for supporting my small business.
A percentage of my profits goes to support a number of local charities that look after our built and natural environment here in North Northumberland.
