I hand-print my wallpaper, or send it to large-format digital printers. I cut blocks from large sheets of German lino and print them in my Brixton Village 5th Avenue studio, or screen-print them round the corner at London Printworks Trust, an open-access textile printing workshop.

That Feral Mob, a screen-printed wallpaper using the Toile de Jouy format. This commemorative design is named from David Cameron's notorious comment on two young students supposedly pulling a mounted policeman from his horse during the anti education cuts demonstration in late 2010. They were charged with violent disorder but eventually acquitted- the policeman was leaning over to attack them and then fell off because he'd forgotten to tighten the horse's girth.
This is a two block, three colour design called Bicycle Chain. You can see it above with George's track bike (a Freddie Grubb 1959 Comet) propped against it for scale.
A single block two colour design called Pay Advice , based on the security pattern on the back of my pay advice slips. Dogs in front for scale.
