I’m working on a series called ‘Magic Spells That Don’t Work.’
This is ‘A Spell for Recurring Dreams.’
I’m not sure if it’s intended to prevent recurring dreams or to actually induce them, but it makes no difference as it doesn’t work. #spells #dreams #recurringdreams #art #illustration

A joyous Juneteenth. On June 19th 1867 the holiday was established to commemorate the ratification of the 13th and 14th Amendments, guaranteeing the right of Black Men to vote. Now You-know-who wants to abolish the 14th Amendment. This is a print I made last year of Grace Jones #juneteenth

Yo Philly protesters! Your ire should be directed at The Union League at Broad and Sansom. That is where your adversary dwells. Not the art museum. Not city hall!

Completed print.
Distant snow - 35x55cm. Reduction linocut on Somerset Satin with Cranfield inks. Inspired by a really bad photo I took with a powerful zoom lens, looking from Aviemore towards the Cairngorm Mountains. Happy Monday!

Something to share for this #PrintPromptMonday theme #intothewild - I made this lil reduction linocut in December, small edition in 14 different colour sets. It’s called “Into the woods”, a self portrait, here in colour set ‘chartreuse’.
