This is Derek.
Derek came to join my studio & household some years ago, when I fell in love with his funny dragony face on my birthday at the Emporium in Manningtree, and refused to leave without him.
And now he has a proper role & title – Recycling Dragon!
I needed a way to catch & recycle unwanted carrier cardboard folders from the mini print vending machine, and he seemed like the perfect candidate – though I have had to make him sign an agreement:
So far he’s doing really well and hasn’t breathed fire anywhere anyone can see him…
Come and see me, Derek and the mini print vending machine at Studio 27 & 30, Wivenhoe Business Centre, Brook Street, Wivenhoe CO7 9DP – I’m open twice a year for the Wivenhoe Art Trail, and whenever the pink sign at the foot of the stairs says I’m open the rest of the time (usually when I’m working there without clients). Just drop me a note to check if you’re planning a visit.
Can’t get to the studio? You can buy vending prints in the shop now too – either as a surprise, individually or as sets!
