Fat Cat is where it's AT

Latest prints delivered today! I'm very relieved and happy with this batch 😁 I'm still pretty new to working digitally with procreate - and sometimes the physical print isn't what you hoped. But these are!!

Hmm maybe needs a colour tweak or two.... But I'm pretty happy with this design ☺️ Stepping away from it for a couple of days, when I come back to it I'll know what needs changing!

A work in progress - I'm thinking I'll add some corner pieces next.

It definitely has some Tolkien vibes going on!

With our Wassailing bowl we drink to thee!

I've just got a few tweaks to make until this one is done. I've been working on using procreate to create a linoprint aesthetic, and I'm really pleased with this one 🙌🏽

I'll always love my printing - but creatively I love the speed of working digitally

Hibernated today and printed these. I love the walks around Devil's Den. Weirdly lots of online articles reference the stones being hard to find - I don't think they are, and I have a terrible sense of direction 😂 I now need to find the polisher stone!

I've been busy! Still lots more planned - trying to get a good amount of stock built up before gardening season kicks in!

Anyone else struggle to fit in everything they love doing? The concept of boredom is lost on me at this point 😆

I know I've made something good when I'm chuckling whilst I make it!!
I make the art I want to see - and I NEEDED to see Fat Cat Morris Dancing

Lots of lovely printing today - I'm a bit obsessed with this orange colour 🧡

Green Man - now actually green 💚

Brilliant morning at the Rooted Chippenham Community garden today 💚

My latest lino - the Green Man. I'm surprised it took me so long to do a design with this fella, very much up my street.

I like the brown colour way best, but I've just ordered some new inks which I'm really excited to try - until now I've been a committed black only linoprinter. Brave new world 😂

On a stormy wet day I'm immensely envious of my cat. How can I get this comfortable?

Note the expression of pure contentment

I don't have permanent studio space set up, but the spare bedroom often looks like this when I'm drying a batch of prints. Project for this year is to try and carve out a corner to use all the time, somehow!

I just picked up a Vinted Parcel - this has to be the best packaging of ALL TIME

I don't even care about the actual thing in the parcel now, it can ever be as glorious as this packaging

Misty Mornings - anyone else pretend they are in a Sherlock Holmes story when it's like this?

A sketch of Devil's Den, near Avebury, that I made after a walk there last weekend.

It's all that remains of a neolithic chambered barrow, and just up from it is a huge drift of sarsen stones - well worth a visit

This sketch is destined to become a lino prints very soon ✨

One of my all time favourites lino prints, inspired by the Ashmore Fillyloo - an event held every year on the Friday closed to the summer solstice ✨🌜🌞

Darkness falls, you see the flames of torches drawing near. Everyone is silent. By fire and moon light the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance is performed ✨

Hello! I'm make linoprints and illustrations from my home in Wiltshire.
I'm having a bit of an overhaul of the platforms I use, getting away from Etsy, FB, and Insta ✨

I'm the meantime here is a a piece I'm currently working on 🌿
