Competition time – win a box of Christmas goodies

Posted on November 11, 2016 by jmoneillster@gmail.com

I’ve been feeling very festive this week. I started the week with a couple of inches of snow outside my front door, spent most of my time making snowflakes, stars and trees and planning my stall for the Harrogate Christmas Market, then today my new cyclist Christmas card arrived. I have been experimenting with using bicycle wheels to display my decorations. What do you think?

So, I have decided to continue the festive theme with a little competition. Would you like to win a box full of Christmas decorations? This box contains a snowflake, a star, two Christmas trees, a penguin, a robin, a greeting card and a couple of extra little festive surprises. All you will need is your tree!

To enter, pop over to my facebook page and tell me which item from my online shop you would like to see under your tree this Christmas. Feel free to share and like too. I will select one entry at random on the 30th November.

Yorkshire Cyclists greeting cards now available

Posted on May 5, 2014 by jmoneillster@gmail.com

I now have a set of 14 beautiful greeting cards with my Yorkshire Cyclists images on. Like my coasters and prints, each card depicts cyclists on the Tour de France route. I’ve chosen a high quality recycled textured card and a matt finish. They have been printed by the fantastic Imaging Centre and although I say it myself they are pretty gorgeous. They are now available in many of the galleries and shops that supply my work and also online.

The 14 images comprises 6 images of each of the two Yorkshire days of the race and 2 generic images:

Leeds
Harewood House
Otley
Ilkley
Skipton
Harrogate
York
Haworth
Hebden Bridge
Cragg Vale
Huddersfield
Sheffield
Pennine Cyclists

Cragg Vale joins my collection

Posted on February 16, 2014 by jmoneillster@gmail.com

I live near the bottom of Cragg Vale and so regularly ride up “the longest continuous gradient in England”. After a fab ride in the sunshine today I decided it was time it joined my Yorkshire Cyclist Collection.

I’ve added the Robin Hood with the yellow bike hanging from its sign, the Hinchcliffe, the caravan site and the geese that grace a small hill on the way up.

I thought I’d better add a bit of bunting as Cragg Vale residents are aiming for the world record for the longest bunting and plan to have it in place when the Tour passes through.

What do you think?

Yorkshire Cyclist prints now available

Posted on October 19, 2013 by jmoneillster@gmail.com

I’ve been on a bit of a journey over the last few weeks learning about printing and framing. I’ve learnt that gilcee printing is fade resistant and considered to produce the best results. I’ve learnt about conservation grade mounts that don’t discolour or damage your prints as they age and I’ve learnt it is much easier to get your original colours on paper than it is on glass. So, here to accompany my glass collection are my first Yorkshire Cyclist prints.

Each print is 15″ square including the mount and the actual image is 8.5″ square.

Otley joins my Yorkshire Cyclist Collection

Posted on October 13, 2013 by jmoneillster@gmail.com

I am having so much fun drawing my cyclist images and trying to represent local towns from my personal perspective as a cyclist. Latest to the add to the collection is Otley a popular cafe stop location on several of my favourite cycling routes. The first coasters with this image on are just out of the kiln and on their way to my current stockist.
