I have a really massive sale going on right now for my original art, everything I've made (that's available!) up to the end of last year. This year's creations are not in the sale. Ideal for monster or fantasy lovers gifts! buff.ly/QZIAKGN

As a biologist, It really is a great analogy. Also trees. It's like saying, "There are trees and grass, you have to be one or the other." Ok... where is the line that defines "is a tree?" what about bush-like grasses? Palm trees? NON-tree palms? What about horsetails and their tree-like ancestors?

"Deep Blue"
A new lino block print inspired a bit by a couple of older lino blocks, the Serpent and the Wave. I mixed some white into the Prussian Blue to brighten it up

I made a book, a very tiny book.
On vintage paper with watercolour illustrations and a nonsense verse.
If anyone wants to publish it for me I would be overjoyed. This is just a rough to see how it works out

I break allegiance to the flag
Of the Disunited States of America,
And to the Oligarchy for which it stands,
One nation under Dire Distress,
Divisible and fractured,
With inequality and oppression for all but the rich and privileged.

Katie is SO right. Give yourselves (ourselves) a break. We're working hard even if it's not pencil-on-paper work. 📝
Hey art friends. A reminder that other people are not keeping close track of your productivity in the way that you are. Only you are aware of literally everything you're doing (and not doing). Everyone else has a million other things to keep track of, too. They're not keeping tallies on you. Breathe
