I drew a few pictures for @stoutstoat.co.uk's new book Carved in Stone (www.stoutstoat.co.uk/products/car...) it's probably the best-researched project I ever worked on, and also it looks beautiful. Lots of amazing artists worked on this! Anyway here are some pictish vignettes
A drawing of some pictish scenes comprising several panels - people climbing a rockface, some boar in a forest, a pictish symbol stone, a woman spinning wool, and a shepherd with sheep and a sheepdog.

I've been enjoying weird long format drawings lately, very frustrating that the internet only likes squares and squareoids

We found a November 2003 copy of The Times when tidying, and spotted this incredible piece of correspondence in the letters section:
A cutout from a copy of The Times, November 2003. It reads as follows: From Mrs David Iredell Sir, I found that visitors to Germany in 1937 were required to preface an inquiry or purchase in a shop with the Nazi salute and a verbal "Heil Hitler!". As a child of nearly 11 years, I enjoyed giving the Hitler salute efficiently, but this did not meet with approval from the retired English colonel with whom we were travelling, especially when I saluted a group of Nazi soldiers who were staying in the same hotel. In mixed German and English, the colonel boldly told them that it ws all nonsense, and that they had better salute me and say "Heil Winklepot!" (his variation of my nickname). Slightly abashed, they did this, but this was as nothing to the performance the following morning when I entered the breakfast room. All of the uniformed Nazis rose as a man and gave the Hitler salute with a chorus of "Heil Winklepot!". The incident was quoted throughout the rest of our journey, and when we reached Czechoslovakia I was given a glass ashtray engraved "Heil Winklepot!", which I have to this day. Yours faithfully, DENISE IREDELL. November 19.

Oof I don't think it's feasible for me to make calendars this year, considering I can't really send stuff to the US or EU at the moment - anyway this was from February 2024

I haven't tried it myself, but, if you apply the paint to the lino with a roller, it would essentially be the same as one of these things

I managed to wrangle all of last year's calendar images onto Inprnt, where they're currently running a sale - just in case anyone wants any of these in a (slightly) larger format www.inprnt.com/gallery/anine/

Another project from the vaults, a zine I made some years ago about the language of flowers. I'd love to find the time to make a few more of these, maybe next year!
a photograph of a zine with the title "The little phrasebook of Floriography", by A. Bösenberg. The cover is red, with a drawing of yellow berries and black leaves, and a drawing of a moth. A page from "The little phrasebook of Floriography". It shows a drawing of an iris, a columbine, a mushroom and an almond branch to form the message "I suspect the carrier pigeon was intercepted". A page from "The little phrasebook of Floriography". It shows a drawing of a rhododendron branch, a buttercup, a stalk of wheat, an eggplant and a wolfsbane flower to form the message "Danger! The cake is poisoned". A page from "The little phrasebook of Floriography". It shows a drawing of a rosemary twig, a fern leaf, an inverted flower of Lewis's mock-orange and a tamarisk twig to form the message "The archivist has no memory of the crime".

Calendars are taking a break this year - sorry about that! I've had a lot to do and just ran out of time.

aaand here's May from this year's postcard calendar 🐢
A drawing of a turtle swimming in a pond at night. There is a small house perched on the turtle's shell, amongst some vegetation. It is unclear if the turtle is very large or the house is very small. The light is on inside the house, and there are moths flying around the little lantern outside the door. A life ring is hanging up on the veranda. There are iris flowering in the foreground.
