Dodds' first publishing venture was an edition of "Peter Grimes"
printed in 1984 during his final year at the Royal College of Art.
The Folio Society held an annual competition for students of the Royal
College to provide illustrations for titles that Folio wished to re-issue,
with the winner attaining publication. When he saw "Peter Grimes"
on the shortlist of books James immediately recalled an unfinished
project by his father, "Radio Times" illustrator Andrew
Dodds, and saw the project as one that would re-connect him with the
East Anglian Coast. Whilst he didn't win the competition, James decided
to publish the edition himself and this was effectively the birth
of Jardine Press. The primary function of Jardine Press has always been to promote James' linocuts which are on view on this website and his interest in the boats, folklore and history of the East Coast landscape where he feels most at home. However, this doesn't preclude collaborating with other artists and poets. The most enduring and rewarding of these partnerships have been with Wivenhoe's own Martin Newell and Northumberland's Katrina Porteous. We
have now set the website up so that you can buy books and prints directly
from us. |
