I have bled the ink to the edge of the mould-made paper to maximise the vividness of the screenprint.
This image is taken from the Asterix books – it is actually one of those used at the beginning of each book to introduce the characters.
I am the the first and only British screenprinter to have permission from French publisher Editions Albert Rene to use their archive of images for my work.
(Je suis le premier et seul sérigraphe britannique à avoir l’autorisation des Editions de l’éditeur français Albert René à utiliser leurs archives d’images pour faire des sérigraphies.)
Asterix first appeared in 1959 and 35 books drawn by Albert Uderzo and written by Rene Goscinny were published until 2010, although new titles are now being issued with new writers and draftsmen.
The Asterix series has been translated into more than 100 languages. The books have been turned into 13 films: nine animated, and four live action. There have also been a number of games based on the characters, and a theme park near Paris, Parc Astérix. Some 325 million copies of 34 Asterix books have been sold worldwide.
