John Patrick Reynolds John Patrick Reynolds

Screenprinter John Patrick Reynolds is the first artist to have had permission from Britain's top comic publisher DC Thomson to make screenprints using its unrivalled archive of old comic heroes and heroines.

His prints feature cartoon favourites such as Dennis the Menace and his faithful dog Gnasher, Desperate Dan, Minnie the Minx and the Bash St Kids from classics of the genre The Beano and The Dandy as well as all the boys’ own adventure heroes from comics such as The Victor and Commando and forgotten gems such as teen romance comics from the 1960s.

The handmade, limited edition screenprints are printed on handmade cotton paper from the St Cuthbert's Mill in Somerset.

Exhibitions of John’s screenprints have been held across the country from Devon to Dundee; examples are held at the Cartoon Museum in Bloomsbury and in academic collections.

These original paintings are formed out of a unique layering technique to give depth and space to the image. This also enables the production of large scale paintings to client specifications.

These original paintings mainly include various historical and contemporary landmark buildings in major towns and cities. The work is unique in its construction and technique and the resulting pieces generate interest and fascination for the viewer, who is able to relate to familiar architecture through an alternative and stimulating interpretation.

In conjunction with paintings, artistically enhanced photographs provide a thought-provoking environment for both home and office.
