You said earlier you thought it was 'cheating' doing these composite pictures (I disagree, for the record!) - do you draw/paint, and have you done much printing using original images yet? You've certainly got the technical chops to make some pretty spectacular prints, I'd say.
It's time mainly for me. 2 young kids and a dog plus trying to cycle and skateboard as much as I can fit in, leaves me without the sort of time to be able to spend a day doing prints. That's what I love about using an iPad - its so immediate and I can be pretty opportunistic about it and get some drawing done wherever and whenever I find myself with a bit of time.
I'm currently looking longingly at one of the last screen prints I did, which is framed in my office :-/

That’s the new technique I have been developing. The chemicals used to acid etch are so horrible, this is a much more sustainable way of doing it.
I never got the chance to go to art school, did quantity surveying at uni then got made redundant in the 2006 crash. I did an apprenticeship type thing in my mid 20s printing T-shirts and I am just now trying to make my own “art” having spent the last 10 years printing other peoples.
You should get it down from the loft, especially with the procreate work you have been doing, easy and real fun to make screen prints from those.
