I was at my local country park today and spotted a pair of cormorants drying out on the peer. I almost didn’t photograph them as I see them so often, but really glad I did! It’s an overcast day so the water behind came out white making them look as if they posing in a studio!

PRINT RELEASE - Saturday 14th Feb, 8pm UK time
I don’t usually do print releases at designated times, but a few people have been asking about this one so thought I’d set a date/ time in advance:)

Peel reveal of the final layer on my Bohemian waxwing print! It was a lot of work, but I’m pleased with the result:)

I’ve been terrible at posting on here, but here’s my latest reduction linocut of waders; a common ringed plover, dunlin, and sanderling:)

Some frogs from a week or so ago in our garden pond. They left three lovely clumps of spawn which I’m now watching transform daily:)

That’s my long-tailed t*t print finished! Really pleased how it has turned out and feel I’m making good progress with wood engraving. I aimed for an edition of 30 but ended up with 23. Some were misaligned, under/over printed, and my cat destroyed two by jumping on them!

Still focusing on wood engraving, I’m currently working on a five layer reduction print of a long tailed t*t. Just the final layer left to go now.

‘Birth of the Pollywogs’ is now dry and ready to hop off!
This is an original wood engraving of a frog with her frogspawn and tadpoles - or pollywogs as they are also known.

I’m really enjoying wood engraving just now. This is my latest WIP, just in time for the frogs laying there spawn!

This time we have a Dunnock, black bird, and wren!

“One should not overlook the Sparrow”
Practicing with my big lens on the sparrows in the garden. Think I might make a print based on one of these.

I know some printmakers aren’t keen on ‘Giclée’ (digital) prints/reproductions, which I can understand. They can cause confusion as sometimes people don’t know the difference between these digital prints and handmade traditional prints (such as lino prints).

A change from my usual macro! Practicing with my zoom on birds in the garden. I’m still getting used to hand-holding a heavier lens so relying on high shutter speeds & dxo to de-noise. But pleased overall.

I’m working on a new wood engraving based on a photo of mine. I’m really liking being able to use my own photos as reference - it feels nice to combine my photography and art.

There’s not many bugs around to feed my macro photography habit in January, in Scotland. But there are these critters - Springtails! About 1mm long at the most, this one was found skating on the surface of my dog’s water bowl!

Well Bluesky seems very promising so far. Good engagement and a warm welcome. I’m looking forward to meeting fellow artists and art lovers (nature lovers too) on here:)
Here my latest print I’m working on, a wood engraving of a long eared bat and phases of the moon.

Over on IG have two accounts, one for printmaking and another for macro photography. Here I’m going to share both (although focusing mostly on print/art) because to me it’s a part of the same wider interest - i.e. a love of the natural world and trying to capture this in images.
