I was commissioned by The Scotsman, Scotland's historic national newspaper, to create a piece of art to mark their 200 year birthday. The piece attempts to capture the vibrancy, dynamism, and diversity of Scotland, all emerging from a Foster Printing Press, which was used to produce the first issues of the Scotsman back in 1817.

A limited edition of art prints were made as gifts to staff and friends of the paper to mark the occasion. 

Ian Stewart, The Scotsman’s editorial director, said: “I was keen to mark the huge milestone that is 200 years with something a bit different that would obviously talk to the history and 200 years, but also reflected the values of the paper, something of demonstrable ­quality. I loved the thought that it would even be something of paper and ink. It is something of great quality that will last, and that is very fitting.”
