He's a British artist, this is one of his print's called "Think Indigo". Fell in love with it.

Hi TC, how old wou;d you say this print is? late 1970s or 80s?

Not sure really, maybe 1980-90's as it's fairly new looking although it does have a tiny bit of rust on the metal hooks.

I'll photo the back of it later on....

Hi TC, All I can find is a Michael Johnson, originally from Berwick, later (70s) living in London. Born 1954. Trained Sheffield and Nottingham School of Art.

I'm sure I've seen that print before. I would say she's a 60/70s gal
How about this chappie http://www.shermangalleries.com.au/artists/inartists/artist_profile.asp?artist=johnsonm

Thanks guys, he's definetly British as it says on the back. Maybe these photos might help to date the print.

There is a Michael Johnson here www.thebakeryartgallery.co.uk/artists/artist_johnson.html  but i dont think it is him

It looks like mine is a more modern print compared to this version... Ebay print

There's not a lot of them out there (any version) which is a  shame as it's absolutely stunning.

Prints for Pleasure has a website here TC: http://www.printsforpleasure.com/ - worth an email to ask about him?

They seem to be from your neck of the woods too:

That's probably them considering the location as you mentioned, they started business in 2002 according the the website.
