Did you read (or hear on R4) Chloe Dalton's Raising Hare? Do you love #hares ? Would you like to help their survival in England by establishing a 'closed season'? You've still a few more hours to sign this petition. Shooting hares in the breeding season leaves dependent young to starve to death.
Petition: Protect hares and their young from shooting during the breeding season
We call on the Government to stop the shooting of hares during their peak breeding season, by establishing a legally enforceable close season for hares in England and Wales, from 1st February to 30th ...

From my new zine Satyr: The Greene-Wood

#folklore #selkie #scotland #childballads #suleskerry #collage #zine #illustration
A collage of a seal with a human face and feet in brown ink and white gouache, with blue marbled paper. the text is the ballad The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry (child 113): AN eartly nourris sits and sing, And aye she sings, Ba, lily wean! Little ken I my bairnis father, Far less the land that he staps in. Then ane arose at her bed-fit, An a grumly guest I’m sure was he: ‘Here am I, thy bairnis father, Although that I be not comelie. ‘I am a man, upo the lan, An I am a silkie in the sea; And when I’m far and far frae lan, My dwelling is in Sule Skerrie.’ ‘It was na weel,’ quo the maiden fair, ‘It was na weel, indeed,’ quo she, ‘That the Great Silkie of Sule Skerrie Suld hae come and aught a bairn to me.’ Now he has taen a purse of goud, And he has pat it upo her knee, Sayin, Gie to me my little young son, An tak thee up thy nourris-fee. An it sall come to pass on a simmer’s day, When the sin shines het on evera stane, That I will tak my little young son, An teach him for to swim the faem. An thu sall marry a proud gunner, An a proud gunner I’m sure he’ll be, An the very first schot that ere he schoots, He’ll schoot baith my young son and me.

from "by they shape II" zine. the text is from: Mercurio, M. (2020) "Queer Moon Rising: Introducing the Werewolf Reread", the Ancilliary Review of Books

#illustration #zine #collage #folklore #monster #werewolf #queertheory
a collage of two wolf heads drawing in pen and ink and some leaf shapes cut from marbled paper. the text above is typed on a typewriter and reads: most often, however, werewolves figure as gender and sexual dissidents, particularly as they represent non-binary embodiments and desires. Their transformations demonstrate the malleability of bodies and their meanings.

But it's not over yet!

Now we need as many people as possible to write to the Scottish Government and tell them to change this decision.

collage from By Thy Shape II - found images. i haven't used a lot of found images before (usually a printmaker and use my prints and original drawings for collage) but i have repetetive strain in my hands and wrists! this made illustrating the zine a bit less painful!

#folklore #zine #illustration
a collage of found images mixed with marbled paper. there is a medieval woodcut of a woman covered in hair captioned 'the maid all hairy', and a partially disected torso showing intestines, two woodcut deer, a turtle, and celestial imagery
