It’s my Improbability of Puffins.
I love this term of venery for puffins (who are indeed improbable looking sea birds). It’s part of my series of prints of groups of animals and the weird and wonderful collective nouns to describe them.

Time for some more linocut purple martin birds, and a purple martin birdhouses. The male birds are a glossy blue-black and the female birds are brown with a blue patch on their heads. They are acrobatic birds, and the largest North American birds in the swallow family. They are are considered synanthropic; they have developed a relationship with humans after living near people for centuries.

This one of a kind artwork made with cyanotype images on water colour paper and collaged cyanotype images on assorted handmade Japanese washi papers, 11” x 14”. The cyanotypes include images of leaves, wildflowers, and maple keys.
A cyanotype is an early photographic method, first used in 1842, which produces a cyan blue print used today for monochromatic art or blueprints.

My mandriltee for #MerMay! Some believe that the mandriltee is imaginary. Who am I to say?
Though it appears to be rotund, short-armed mermaid with strange facial markings, the mandriltee is neither fish nor primate and certainly not the composite creature of myth. Their name, however, is inspired by their unlikely ressemblance to the mandrill, and they are of the order Sirenia (which 🧵

Happy May Day! This is hand-pulled lino block print of the Jack-in-the-Green (or Jack o’ the Green) an English folk tradition for May Day. Wearing a conical or pyramidal wicker or wooden frame covered in foliage so as to conceal the wearer, the Jack-in-the-Green leads a May Day procession, dancing often with musicians and other figures. 🧵1/2

Note: You may notice varied quality between prints. That is because some were made on my old 3D-printer, right before it broke down. I have a new 3D-printer that gives much better quality. This 3D-print has been made on my old 3D-printer.
Also on today’s agenda: gluing and cutting the #washi paper bookmarks that @elfkin made for his #trunkshow with our Cricut. Because a well-read fella might very well be the sexiest kind of fella.
My beaver lino block print is hand printed on delicate, translucent, handmade Japanese paper with a deckle edge. This is a North American beaver (Castor canadensis), symbol of Canada. 🇨🇦
