Ahh, delighted that people are bidding on my prints.

As your typical "am I even good enough to be here?" artist it's very encouraging 😊

Harvey, thrilled and excited at his new portrait...

(Well, perhaps not, but he's definitely helping me have a gentle cozy day by example)

A day off at last, and of course I have the beginnings of a sore throat 😅

That means I don't feel too bad about taking it easy and doing some art today.

So I finally did *something* with Harvey's shadow and tidied up the edges of this print

Just a reminder that the deadline for responding to the govt's AI consultation is the 25th.

If you care about writers, artists, and musicians, or have an opinion about how AI companies are wanting to ride roughshod over people's livelihoods, do find a moment to fill it in.

The Government is considering allowing AI companies to freely use your works, unless you opt-out. This is unfair and unworkable.

Now is your chance to tell them what you think! Submit a response to their AI consultation using the guidance below.

I tried the cream softcut lino for the first time for this cat print.

Interesting to work with! I like the bite of a tougher lino, but I'll definitely try this stuff again in future.

First couple of test pulls of my #cat / little monster lino print. Haven't decided what to do with the base/shadow yet.

Happy Sunday from me and a cat who does NOT want me to go near that hoover.

Working on something new today...

A little angelic (demonic?) cat linoprint, because my little visiting friend is absolutely both.

#WorkInProgress test print of a little Whittlesea Straw Bear linoprint block.

Working my way through local East Anglia folklore and customs.

Looking back through my Instagram posts for things to add here, and realising I got quite into doing videos in the end... Which means I don't have a lot of photos to post!

I'll see if I can grab some WIP stills from the videos.

In the meantime, have a first moth on a mask.

Good morning Bluesky!
I've been doodling little thank you ravens in Indian ink for some lovely people who ordered whole packs of folklore cards from me 🥰

I also make #masks using Italian #PaperMache techniques.

Again, #Folklore inspired is a theme I keep coming back to. Here's a Green Man, Green Lady, North Wind, Skull, #Krampus

I also make #Folklore inspired art, often #linocut these days.

Here's a slightly #FolkHorror harvest blessing corn dolly, the #Whittlesey #StrawBear, and something inspired by the legend of St Edmund and the wolf of #BuryStEdmunds

I should post some of the things I make... but where to start?

Tiny books!

Hope there isn't some new hashtag etiquette here that I'm breaking...

Hi Bluesky, I'm a #mask maker and #lino artist freshly escaped from Twitter and looking for people who like #art, #folklore, #nature and #poetry, building a better more hopeful future...

Now to find everyone who jumped before me and to figure out how this place works!
