Hello to all my followers! I’m in my January break but as the end nears I wanted to reintroduce myself

I’m a printmaker from North Carolina. My work is largely focused on landscapes and birds, and sometimes people. Looking forward to trying some new things this year!

#printmaking #art
A collage of traditional printmaking works, with a photo of the artist in the middle. Clockwise from top left: - a line print of a bird doing a kickflip with a skateboard - a desert canyon with a small posse walking into it - a bird sitting on a branch hidden amongst leaves - a kaiju rampaging through a city roaring “want hug!” - a simple line drypoint portrait of a woman looking into the distance - a stark black and white image of a city street corner with many power lines cross-crossing the scene - a mountain landscape with a golden sun in the sky - a portrait of a woman from the side in an art nouveau style

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one, and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
A photo of the pope in all white, holding and leaning up to a microphone on a stand like he’s crooning a killer jam. A bunch of people mill behind him but who cares about them

It’s been uh…. 23 years (🤮) since I was last in a darkroom, but I got to break that streak. Film is cool, but putting a blank sheet of paper in some water and watching an image appear from nothing is cooler

A picture of a negative enlarger, used for projecting a film negative onto photo paper for development. A picture of a photograph, a black and white silver gelatin print. The photo is a picture of a mountain peak rising from the ground, the many layers of rock visible much of the way up. In the foreground are some tour busses, and the sky behind it only has faint, wispy clouds A picture of a photograph, a black and white silver gelatin print. The photo is of a new born baby wrapped up in a blanket, laying in his hospital bed. His hands are by his cheek and his eyes are just barely open, looking off the right of the image. A picture of a photograph, a black and white silver gelatin print. The picture is of a tree hanging on the edge of a stream bank. Much of the ground under it having been washed away, the tree’s gnarled roots have turned into support columns stretching to ground level.

(1/x) Went to Scotland last week for a cousin's wedding, taking a toddler, a camera, and six rolls of #film The following thread is a collection of what came out of it

Tri-X 400, Minolta Autocord, developed and scanned at home

A black-and-white photograph of the Regent Bridge in Edinburgh, Scotland taken from below. The bridge is framed by two buildings, and is cast in shadow from the sun behind it. A black and white photograph of an old brick wall and a big utility box (or something). The bricks are roughly made; the mortar is thick and inconsistent, and has some plants growing from it. The utility box is graffiti-ed, and plastered with a poster for a show caleld "Dystopia: The Rock Opera". A black and white photograph of a castle-looking tower (Governor's House in Edinburgh, Scotland) sitting on the edge of a cliff face. The picture is taken looking from below, the tower silhouetted against the sky. The cliff is covered by many trees and scrubs. A black and white photograph looking down a street from the sidewalk. The street is bordered by two 20th century buildings, but they frame a castle-like structure sitting on a hill in the distance. Two cars are in the street, and people mill on the sidewalk. The picture was taken in Edinburgh, Scotland at the intersection of Calton Rd and Old Tolbooth Wynd, looking west to Governor's House.

Some shots from my first time using Ilford FP4. Maybe a little too flat out of the box for my taste, but it pretties up real nice in post and the detail is fab

A close-cropped black and white photograph of a building storefront. In the center is decorative art deco stonework on the facade, just to the left of an entryway advertising cocktails. A table and chairs are on the bottom, and a few fronds from a short palm jut out from the left edge. A black and white photograph of a foreboding liminal space. The focus on the bottom left are a few steps bathed in light, their lips worn down from a century of people climbing them. The rest of the frame is dark, but suggests a landing and a companion staircase. A black and white photograph of a forest stream. Taken from almost water height, the opposite bank and trees on it tower over the image, and are also reflected in the still water. The dark reflections are mottled by fallen leaves floating on the water. A black and white photograph of a tree sitting on the edge of a river bank, taken from below ground level. The tree’s root system has been exposed by erosion, turned into a gnarled network of roots that have been strengthened into structural members.

A few frames from the latest batch of development. Ilford HP5 120 #film shot on a Minolta Autocord. The contrast wasn't as punchy out of the tank as I like so I'll probably stick to Tri-X for my 400 shooting.

A black and white photograph of a series of large, gnarly live oak trees. The trees fill most of the frame, with a sidewalk running around them. A spooky black and white photograph of a hallway. The hallway is intermitantly lit and in shadow as the architecture of the walls blocks the ceiling lights. A black and white photograph of a city scene, taken above the ground. The focal point of the photo is a wood power pole and the various lines coming to and from. Around and behind it are a few buildings, with a forested hill in the far distance. A black and white photograph of the famous drum circle in downtown Asheville, NC. In the center of the crowd are a bunch of people playing various percussion instruments, surrounded by bystanders watching and dancing along.

#WIP, #comics
Four black and white comic panels in a 2x2 grid. Each appears to depict a mirror frame, reflecting a pretty person applying mascara to their eyelashes, messing up their hair and pouting, then wiping their mouth and grimacing, and finally turning around, looking over their shoulder.

More truck-free cargo trailer action! This was a 30-mile bike ride to pick up a bedroom set from a Craigslist ad. Once you live a car-lite or car-free lifestyle, you can't unsee the waste and inefficiency of personal car ownership. #CargoBikes #CarsRuinCities #FossilFuel #CleanAir #CarsStink

A few frames of result. Absolutely floored at how well it came out. All hail medium format black and white.

A black and white photograph of baseball pre-game warmups. It’s looking down to home plate from the deep third base foul line. Players mill around warming up. A black and white photograph. A bunch of people are sitting on tall chairs socializing, with a dog sitting in front of them A black and white photograph of a stream running through a forest A black and white photograph of the edge of a forest. Centered in the frame is a long line of trees running down either side of what must have been a path at one point, but it’s now blocked by a private property sign.

23 years after I last developed some film, I did it again! And I didn’t (largely) screw it up!

My wee one has started demanding drawings from me. A tiny art director in the making.

A picture of some crayon drawings on paper. On the top is a cartoony truck with a face above a cartoony car. Scribbles of faces are around them A picture of four cartoony crayon drawings on paper. Three are cars and top right is a propeller airplane with its tongue sticking out A picture of two cartoony drawings of airplanes done in crayon. The top is a squished 747, the bottom is a prop plane

A large single-color linocut print of a portrait of an art deco-styled woman. The view is from the back, with the woman looking over her shoulder to the viewer. She’s holding a fan unfurled, and wrapped in a translucent shawl. Around the woman is a decorative art deco border.

Six of the 12 Lino prints I made for the @worthvalley.bsky.social 2026 diesel calendar. This was an enjoyable but challenging project as I’m relatively new to printmaking.

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”

Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

Space shuttle part #1.
Designing a space shuttle is a big deal, especailly in a cartoony way.
I've been asked to take @polyminthe.bsky.social original design and translate it with space proof features.

Belted Kingfisher

1.5 hours from pencil to test print is probably a personal best for me. A little bit of refining to do but I like how it came out
