Chossy... thing is mate, if I was to screen print, or litho print, I would need to outlay a small fortune to get the things printed.
My print technique costs relatively small amounts of money, and is a craft based process that takes time - time which I would love to devote to print making anyway as its a hand-made process which is where my heart is at. I'm not into all this digital bollocks in any aspect of my life. I'd give my next door neighbour's right arm to be able to do this print process regularly and know I would sell a few to people who appreciated them. So its all a pleasure, not a chore, and I don't plan to pay my mortgage with it, just to enjoy a process that I can't employ for my commercial work.
It was a good torch though wasn't it. It had fresh batteries and everything, and what's more, the gate was falling off its hinges at the farmstead. I had to replace the hinges out of my own pocket.
