Great combinations of screenprints: Oor Wullie plays football.
Focus on Oor Wullie - Scotland's favourite son
Posted by John Reynolds on
Oor Wullie is a great subject to screenprint. The original draughtsman, Dudley D Watkins, was also the first to draw Desperate Dan in the Dandy and Lord Snooty in The Beano. Panels have great composition, so it's relatively easy to pick some to stand alone as screenprints.
Focus on Dennis the Menace, comic icon
Posted by John Reynolds on
Dennis the Menace, icon of The Beano and hero to thousands of children, makes for some dramatic screenprints. Printer John Patrick Reynolds focuses on the character and the prints he has made using the images, all approve by Dundee publisher DC Thomson.
