Mandy Henson

Our guest today is Jon Mackay who is an artist, an illustrator and silk screen printer based near Oxford.  In addition to producing his own silk screen prints  that are exhibited in galleries,  Jon  has a string  of commissions under his belt from  JackSavoretti, Bears Den and The Lumineers to name but a few.
Jon met Jack by chance whilst at the local garage getting his tyres changed.  After an exchange of emails Jon worked on a Singing to Strangers silk screen print and a couple of tee shirts.  Jack's management then reached out to Jon and he produced the fabulous Portofino silk screen print, which he generously donated one of them to auction for Warchild to the Amoretti Official Facebook group

In this episode of Talking With Strangers we discuss:
- Sitting between Sir Patrick Stewart and Jack Savoretti
- The silk screen printing process
- Singing to Strangers commission
- Portofino commission
- Connections
- Taylor Swift
- What's next
- Developing for the future

We hope you enjoyed this episode of Talking with Strangers.
