I’m amazed and intrigued by your work … in a creative medium I have not been cognisant of before. Such skills to work freehand like that … impressive!

They are cool … I love how some of the leaves slight overlap with the frame … makes them pop … I’ve been playing with bookmarks too and I’m going to steal this idea!

One of the things I like about reduction is the little overlapping not quite right bits … give each print character in my view! But it is also interesting to play with registration tabs and jigs to get it all lined up. I’m bracing myself to start on an A3 sized reduction with 5-6 layers. Gulp!

I love working in Prussian blue - and the white you’ve added brightens it really well!

I've ditched insta and twitter - never felt better. Bsky #linocut feed is my only social media these days ... and not on my phone. Glance at news headlines once a day, make occasional tangible contributions to social change (e.g. through action or donation) make things, grow things, play, seek joy.
