Tommy Martin's "Ullswater Calm" Featured in the Times
The Times newspaper last Saturday (feb 21st 2009) featured my perennially popular Ullswater Calm, which was nice. It was on the centre pages of the Weekend section and came out remarkably well, given the limitations of newspaper print, so all in all I'm pretty pleased with myself.
Limited Edition Prints of Ullswater Calm are still available online, and at my gallery, but selling fast...

A Slightly Belated Happy New Year
This New Year of ours seems rather keen to get underway. The last two weeks have been as busy any of last year and I have sneaking suspicion that this is just the beginning.
I'm currently restocking my gallery after Christmas cleared out all of my spare stock, and starting to think about getting ready for shows at two other galleries that will be opening in the next couple of months (dates and details to follow).
We've had some fantastic proper winter weather and light over the last month and I'm working on a huge backlog of new images that I'm very excited about.
Commercial photo work is picking up as well, along with quite a few new design jobs. Oh yes, and I'm moving house in a couple of weeks...

Framed Prints Available
Limited Edition Prints by Tommy Martin
I have finally got around to adding the option to buy framed limited edition prints to this site. These frames are custom-made, black-stained Ayous wood and glazed with a postal-friendly, shatter proof acrylic that also happens to provide museum-quality UV protection. These are exactly the same frames that will hanging in my gallery* and I'm rather pleased with how good they look..
More about the frames here and the prints that go in them...
*Ah yes, my gallery... More about that real soon...

Melmerby Show Extended
Water Nook House
My show at the Village Bakery Gallery was originally booked for July and August.
The first month has exceeded my most optimistic expectations. As well as praising my work people have also actually been buying it in gratifyingly large quantities. I personally take the opening of wallets to be an extraordinarily sincere form of flattery...
Following this success, I've happily accepted an invitation to extend the exhibition until the end of September.

Melmerby Private View
Privtate View, Melmerby 2008
The private view/launch of my show at Melmerby was officially a raging success.
We had a fantastic turnout, some great reactions to the work on show, and enough prints sold to send me running back to the framers with another big order.
The A4-mounted open edition prints went down a storm and I think pretty much everyone left with at least one.
Buyers admiring their loot
All in all, I couldn't be happier.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along, and to the staff at the Village Bakery for looking after everyone so well.
