the birth of rattus
lino print of…well it’s botticelli’s birth of venus except all the figures are rats. the colours are pretty bright and obviously it’s not, like, verbatim, but i think i got the poses and feel of what the birth of venus would like if venus was a rat attended by rat zephyrus, aura and horae

presenting: the 17th century spork
a hinged handle (collapsible for travel purposes) on a fork, the tines of which fit into rings on the back of a spoon head. it looks at first glance like a skeletal hand tenderly holding the back of a spoon

the raven’s view
lino print of a raven looking out over a desert landscape—specifically the view from murphy’s point in the canyonlands; the sky is full of the sort of spirals that mean the wind is blowing, and clouds, and down below you can see the white rim trail

I have several conflicting opinions on this
tweet: “speak kindly to your books, they were plants once too” two tweets: “if humans divine with bones then I guess trees divine with books”; “this tweet brought to you by the realisation that it’s actually pretty messed up to sit under a tree and read a book”

every night I take the sun by the hand and lead it through the underworld back towards the morning
set of three lino prints, laid out kind of comic style top to bottom, black over gold and white. 1 / top: text at the top reads “every night I take the sun by the hand”; a scratchy drawn figure holds a ray coming out from a sun as they move away from light rays into darkness. 2 / middle: text says “and less it through the underworld”; the figure and sun are still holding hands as they move through a cave-like space. 3 / bottom: “back towards the morning”: the person has let go of the sun which moves out of the frame; the figure’s shadow stretches behind them towards the cave. it is all very roughly drawn and printed

having a real “big bird was obviously just a man in a suit. but the others were too small to contain men. so what the fuck” moment about the wind in the willows
goodreads review: “most of the time i was listening to this i just couldn’t get my head around the world this was set in. at times, while the animals are living in holes with human style furnishings, they are clearly animals and correctly sized animals at that. at other times toad at least is clearly almost human sized (can ride a bike, fly an aeroplane etc.) and the world is also populated by humans who aren’t surprised or terrified by this giant talking toad. I either want a world fully occupied by anthropomorphic animals or one with humans not realising that normal sized animals are having human style lives. not both, or doesn’t make sense!”

lino print, black and white on a peachy background, of an impossible geometric shape fitted into an anatomical heart. around the edges it reads “who cares if / we get our hearts / broken by / impossible things”. probably the best thing I’ve ever made
