Magnus Irvin
Magnus Irvin "I do wonder what some of the presenters look like."

I turn on Radio 4 most days that I work in my studio. I don't always listen but I do wonder what some of the presenters look like. Does Simon Hoggart have dark hair and a large nose? Is Jeremy Hardy's head square? Does Peter White have luminous skin? Does Jenni Murray look like Simon Hoggart? Do they all look like Joe Grundy? Sometimes it's hard to concentrate.
Magnus Irvin has been making prints for over 30 years. He is an experienced etcher but is best known for his large-scale woodcuts produced by using methods of multiple-block registration and inking that he developed himself. Recently he has made digital prints, books, short films and mechanized drawings and prints. He has a studio in East London where he makes silly things very seriously. He likes fishing, cake, Kirk Douglas and bananas.
