It all comes from here is a new edition, perfected to sit in harmony with its sister print, This is the place, blending themes of nature and decadence. They are connected not only through the majestic bee, but through the continuation of circles, symmetry and the regal, multifaceted, gold backgrounds.

The circle of life is represented not only though the depiction of the bee - highlighting its tireless work to sustain our ecosystem, essential for our survival - but also through the rhythmic, life affirming symbolism of the circles.

The gold catches and plays with the light, changing the mood over time for the viewer. Each piece is perfected, made with multiple colour overlay lithography, creating different depth and dimension with the bee, saying different things at different times of day or year with the use of gold.

Both of these pieces are nods to my hometown of Manchester, I feel constantly compelled to capture the spirit of Manchester that resides in me; what it means to be from there and express that through my art. The title of this work is taken from a Noel Gallagher quote who, when speaking about Manchester, said “The thing about Manchester is… it all comes from here” and pointed to his heart. This is where true beauty resides.

*Artist’s proofs are generally considered a status symbol in the world of art collecting. Their resale value is proportionally higher than the numbered editions.

Artists Proofs are impressions of a print taken during the printmaking process. They are used to evaluate the current state of a plate, stone, etc. while it is still being worked on by the artist. The artist will pull proofs to evaluate issues such as color and line and then alter the plate, stone, etc. accordingly until the print is perfected to the artist’s standards.

After perfecting the print, the artist will set aside a number of “artist’s proofs.” Though technically considered proofs, the quality of these prints is the same as those from the regular edition. Artist’s proofs are not included in the regular edition but are still of the same high quality; they are exactly the same as works from the regular edition, but are not numbered or noted as works from the regular edition.

Instead, artists will often designate artist’s proofs with the initials ‘A.P.’ for ‘Artist’s Proof’. The amount of artist’s proofs is 10% or less of the full edition, so for this edition of 100 there is only 10 APs.

Artist's proofs maintain their collectability and value because A) They are a small subset of the edition, and B) they usually come directly from the artist. In these days of mass marketing, getting something directly or even indirectly from the artist is rare.
