The reference image used was of Margaret Joan Trudeau who is a Canadian author, actress, photographer, former television talk show hostess, and social advocate for people with bipolar disorder, with which she is diagnosed. She is the former wife of Pierre Trudeau, 15th prime minister of Canada and is the mother of Justin Trudeau, the 23rd and current prime minister of Canada. She is the first woman in Canadian history to have been both the wife and the mother of prime ministers.
Doug Kemp was born in 1939 in Bath (because of wartime evacuation) but was raised in Walthamstow in the east end of London. Doug has a modernist style of fine art which draws reference from personal experience, the USA (New York & Chicago) comic book hero art, pop art, post-industrialist (modern art), film noir, art deco and gangster movies made in the 1930s & 1940s.

Giclee Artist Prints
Spelt correctly, Giclée is a French word for spray (little sprey!). This is a digital printing process in which a dedicated type of ink-jet printer is used with specialist inks to produce a high quality Art print. As an artist, I feel a Giclée print produces a better finish than other types of modern artist printing formats.
Linocut Artist Prints
A Linocut is a relief print that is produced like a woodcut but uses lino as the surface from which the design is carved as a template used for the printing. In making a Linocut, basically your design uses the raised (uncarved) areas for the different inks to print the same picture over and over.
Silkscreen Print Collection
Creating screen prints – The inks are forced through a mesh screen onto the printed surface. This enables certain areas of the screen template to be made impervious to the printing ink, in effect creating a stencil. The ink that is able to pass through forms the printed image.
