[Closed] Blimey. Binners has been busy.

He's handy with those crayons 😉

Though I'm surprised no Gregg's placement on the site!

Blimey! … I’ve just read that back to myself, and it does sound like a load of pretentious old twoddle. But, there you go. Guilty as charged, your honour. I just thought I’d try and explain….

It's almost as if he's describing his efforts on here!

😉

Happy to 'advertise' on of his signed prints in the new workshop (FOC Obvs) 😉

I've just realised I have a fb friend in common with Binners - it's a small world.

I like this one a lot.

That one's just crying out for some spokey-dokeys and a rainbow.

And a teddy bear. And a unicorn.

Always liked the MNPR posters and these are great. Now that the website's all done though, there's no excuse for coming out on Monday nights. Is there?

Excellent

Mine is already on order

Some fantastic prints, any idea on price?

Some fantastic prints, any idea on price?

Would be interested in finding out too...

any idea on price?

A steak bake.

I was intrigued by 'getting the metaphorical felt tips out'. Is this acceptable behaviour?

Some good stuff there, like it a lot. Although I'm a bit puzzled by the cubist cock interpretation of peel tower......

Although there are issues with the website as I can't see some of the pictures (the urn one to start with) don't show up on my Samsung phone running Dolphin browser, 8080 too.

cubist cock

I've got a fiver on that to win The 'National.

"Owd Betts Descent" for the win - although "Its all downhill from here" is a close second.

Really, really like these...

Chappeau Binners

as you’ve taken the trouble to have a look at my work, I suppose I best tell you a little bit about myself. I’ll just put the kettle on…

your typical insecure, and self-doubting creative type

Just for my own enjoyment more than anything.

Some people even suggested I should get some printed out and framed, and they’d actually buy them off me.

come to the wrong place, I’m afraid. Sorry about that. There are lots of people infinitely more talented than me who do that so much better than I ever could.

Blimey! … I’ve just read that back to myself, and it does sound like a load of pretentious old twoddle. But, there you go. Guilty as charged, your honour. I just thought I’d try and explain….

You images a are great but why all that self depreciating twaddle? Do you know a copyrighter? You don't need 2 pages of about me/what I do when the images speak for themselves. You come across as unprofessional and a bit of dabbler when you obviously are not

So where does the name "Binners" come from??

Agreed. The problem with this writing style, is it's a very fine line between working, and coming across as annoying filler one has to get through just to learn some pertinent info.

....or even worse, like an email from Pact coffee.

The artwork itself, is very nice.

I think the strength of the images allows for the 'twaddle'.

Binners, I'll order mine

'I'm a simpleton, and I think my work reflects this'

😀

He did some work for me a few years a go now and cant fault what he did.
I'd tried myself but not being of the arty fairy type then I stood no chance. However his delicate little fingers created my logo without too much hassle and in very short time.

Reminds me I need to get it updated/changed a bit...oi Binners ya cant!!!

Binners, can you do me a contemporary, geometric interpretation of a Mint Sauce keyring?

Tell me you can still get "spokey-dokeys"!

Loving the art 🙂

I like the railway ones even better than the cycling ones.

Only just spotted this thread. Thanks for the positive responses. And for the not so positive ones about my twaddle. I'm making this up as I go along, you know. And lets be honest: honking on unnecessarily on t'interweb is something I've always been guilty of. 😀

I shall now delete all that, and replace it with 'I'm ****ing great, me! Now buy some of my artwork, you bastards!

Price-wise: Depends what you want really? What size? What frame etc. The prints themselves are pretty bespoke. I don't print volume. Each one is done as a high quality 6 colour print onto matt finish film, not paper, as its colour-fast and doesn't fade. The artwork is set up so I can do any design in any colours you like. I've just done this version of the Owd Betts print for Plumber*

[img] [/img]

I'm doing a variety of sizes. I think they're very reasonably priced, and affordable. As does anyone who's bought one. And I've sold a good few in the last month. But I would say that, wouldn't I? If anyone seriously wants one, drop me an email, or message.

Actually... I've only got one A3 of my original print run of the orange turbine print, sat here window mounted in a nice oak frame. Yours for £45 guvnor. I'm cutting my own throat etc etc....

I'm really busy. Its gone a bit mental to be honest. Got 3 commissions on this week. Presently doing a lovely art deco composition of the view across the bay from Cleveleys waterfront of the Lake District fells, for a customer in London. Then I'm doing one of Ladybower for Pook.

Genuinely though... thanks for the interest and the positive comments and vibes. I've been a bit overwhelmed by the reaction I've had, to be honest. As has been noted, I'm not the most confident in my own abilities. And I certainly don't like shouting about my work. Need to change that I suppose. But its not really me.

* Plumber - as I've got so many commissions on, I want to send them all to print together, as I'm using a new printer for this run, (should be even better quality than the last run!) so I want to check them coming off the press individually. I reckon back end of next week mate.

And while I'm in flagrant self-promotion mode, can I just shove this one out there into the *edit* [b]world.[/b]. 😉

[img] [/img]

I finished it yesterday. Its of somewhere a lot will recognise, and featuring xherbivorex of this parish, to adorn the wall of his new house. Can't wait to see it printed, mounted and framed, and up on't wall

Its lovely but the mast is on the wrong side of the pike as your perspective is not my house

For that reason I am out

Will e-mail you as I do quite like it [ can it be easily reversed?] and I will say its me - he is a vegan its near enough

And while I'm in flagrant self-promotion mode, can I just shove this one out there into the [b] word [/b]...

word? Good with the crayons - rubbish at spelling!

Seriously though binners I really like those, particularly the Rivi one and if I can convince the Mrs to let me have some bike related artwork, I'll be dropping you an email.

I fancy a Blackstone Edge one looking down across Mordor to the lake.....

binners did me some posters last year onto a Matt finish paper and they were lovely.

Very nice work indeed.?

You'll have to pay me Royalties on the Rivi one Ads.

They are bloody brilliant though mate. Really good stuff.

Owd Betts in the orange has a certain 'Art Noveau' quality, which I like.

Good luck with this Binners.

Looks like you've got two of the same pic up there mate, Owd Betts and Edenfield.

Same place.

. . . but different bike

Ah.

Sweet class 14! May ask the wife for it as a birthday present for my railway room...

The problem is that having bought one of these, I now realised I do in fact need a triptych. They're fantastic bits of art. and great quality.

Binners, we can have a chin wag about which prints I need, next we catch up.

I think the framed versions are even more stunning! Love them!

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

nobody's getting the Rivi one until I have mine (seeing as it's for me and I'm in it, i'm allowed to make such demands!)

adam, this weekend some time?

Indeed! Fancy getting out Monday mate. Going to sort your print out next week fella. Using a new printers, which should be better quality than my first ones, which were already bloody reliant, to be honest - so I want to make sure it's right!

I'm a printers worst nightmare! I'm OCD as ****! 😀

[img] [/img]

reliant or brilliant?

Spelling has always been your anti OCD! 😀

I'm a printers worst nightmare! I'm OCD as ****!

Missing apostrophe suggests otherwise.

😉

[i]You'll have to pay me Royalties on the Rivi one Ads.[/i]

I'll get our company lawyers on it tomorrow as well. That's our hill that is.

I couldn't give a shit about spelling. Or apostrophe'a. It's not my job. If you're ever really really really bored, you can ask me to go into why graphic designers can't spell (and none of them can - it's not just me)

It's to do with concentrating, to the point of obsession, on the other important stuff on the page - type-setting, leading, alignment, baseline grids, print calibration etc - you actually stop seeing words as words. They're just geometric forms. I'd never send owt to print until 2 people have proof read it, as that's just bound to end in tears. Asking me to check spelling and grammar is like asking a monkey to service a jet engine.

Play to your strengths. Pay somebody else to do the rest 😀

I agree with Craig, those framed prints look stunning binners.

bit of a stealth edit there binners? 😉

oh

I agree with Craig

i will cherish that!

Cheers. They're the A3's. You should see the A1's framed! They look brilliant, really big! The joy of vector artwork!!I I'll post some piccies up.

Lovely stuff.

Righty ho. Just thought I'd update this as I've had another batch of prints done. xherbivorex's picture of Rivi is all framed up and looks great. I won't post it up, as he hasn't seen it himself yet.

I've also just framed up this beauty as an A1. It looks fantastic at that scale. Even if I do say so myself. The photo doesn't really do it justice. Its a bugger trying to photograph the big prints without getting all kind of reflections off the glass though.

Who wants it then? It's the perfect man cave accessory, surely? 😀

Loving the one with Winter Hill mast in the background
A view I will get very familiar with this year as I'm probably going to be spending a few months up there replacing a load of steelwork up the mast
I shall be taking the bike and sneaking in a fair few rides on 'windy days' when we can't work up top
Will have a proper browse of your website Binners but imagine I can squeeze one or two on the walls somewhere

I know I've not been paying attention and reading properly but.... just twigged, it's an homage to the cinema release poster for Vertigo isn't it 🙂 good work

It is indeed Ed! An homage to the genius that is Saul Bass. I love his work, and this seemed an appropriate interpretation 🙂

I do like those. I'm going to see if Binners can do one of our local hills...

Iain - when is it you're here? You could do far worse than join us on the Monday Night Pub Rides, if you fancy seeing where loads of different routes are in the area.

Give us a shout before you're here, and we'll show you around the trails

Will do Binners cheers
A few things to organise at work to 'reallocate' myself into a different more site based role but I'm working on it
The job will be running from about June/July to April/May 2016 so I should have plenty of opportunity

Hmmmm - If only there was a way these could be carried around with you all day - perhaps made wearable. Applied to some sort of jersey-knitted, short sleeved, collar-less cotton singlet maybe.

We'd need some sort of catchy name for them though.

Hmmmm

Theres a few designs so maybe there needs to be some sort of armature for displaying them all on.

Hmmmmm

singlet rack world.com maybe

Its no wonder he has no time to ride...

Where are they?

Morning Binners! I've built a new wall ready for mine 😀

Mine arrived last week and very nice it is too.

I've put it up at work - these suverners don't understand hills much

Thanks Binners

blimey binners. One day he'll be wearing one of those neck scarfs and mixing with the Guardian set 😀

And moving back to Chorlton 😀

Then I'm doing one of Ladybower for Pook.

Morning All. Harry - the cards are now in a few select shops in the area. As well as some framed prints now being up one of the gallaries.

I'm bringing Andy's print of Rivington for him tonight. It looks great! Even if I do say so myself. Might pop another of my new ones in too. Should any of you fancy one 😉

Pook - I'll be on to yours this week. As I know you want a landscape. I got a bit carried away with my Lancaster over Ladybower idea. Which is very nearly finished. Along with another couple of 1940's styled ones, which may or may not have Spitfires on them. Watch this space.

Phew! Its all go!! Just sorting out this weeks print run. As well as new t shirt designs, some print design for the Irwell Works Brewery (I've already been told by Mrs Binners I cant take payment in beer), and all manner of other stuff.

I can't believe that 6 weeks ago I was sat in a job I increasingly hated. Seem like an awful long time ago now! Another bloody lifetime, in fact 😀

Could you do one of me?

[img] [/img]

Hey Binners,
not sure if your got my email through your website, but could you drop me an email (in profile), i'm interested in getting one or two prints off you 🙂

Has anyone raised the idea of cycling jerseys with these designs on yet? If not why not? I'd buy one, probably more.

...and he's still got time to do his masked vigilante with a can of spray paint routine too.

The man is an inspiration to us all.

Was the subject of discussions on Monday night...

Watch this space!

spawnofyorkshire - If just emailed you.

The cycling jerseys I'm just looking into at the moment.

Just thought I'd post this up of the winter hill design I did for xherbivorex, in situ. Doesn't look half bad, does it? 😀

[img] [/img]

Love it.

Edit: who'd have thought I'd ever consider having a pic of herbivore on my wall? 😆

Oi, stop pissing about on stw 😉

I'm doing yours right now Pook. Its coming together nicely

Do you have any preference on colours. I'm doing it in greys provisionally. But I'm going to mess around with other shades once its a bit more finished 😀

I'd like a Mellor cross picture but with more girlie, subtle colours (for nbt obviously) 🙂

Edit: Are you getting an online shop/website buying type place?

I should be able to sort that out for you bunnyhop. Its just fitting it in at the moment. I've got a bit of a backlog going. Which is a brilliant problem to be faced with. I'm snowed under with work! 😀

This one has just gone to print for spawnofyorkshire

[img] [/img]

I'm in the process of getting some more designs sorted for my website, then the online ordering in place too. Its all go

needs some rainbows, spokey dokeys and a teddy 😉

Not a problem.
So glad you're busy.
Was thinking for the future anyway.

Edit - I'm really liking the Art Deco feel of Pike and Winterhill.
