Luckily this is a sparsely populated area of Siberian taiga, but it’s estimated that 80 million trees were flattened.

This is my wee little asteroid linocut (on paper 4” x 4” with 2” x 2” printed area).

Enjoy a wee rat mini linocut for World Rat Day (invented by pet rat enthusiasts to challenge any rat stigma). They do actually make great pets.

For today’s #Spacetober prompt EVA, or extra-vehicular activity I made a tiny astronaut on a spacewalk linocut. It’s printed on shiny paper with a pearlescent sheen.

For the #Spacetober prompt space station I made a tiny linocut print of the track of the ISS across the night sky.

As described this is a very small linocut print of the night sky in blue with carved stars, Milky Way and a line across the sky and a line of silhouettes of evergreen trees in black along the bottom.

Day 12: Reaper
Another little Memento Mori, when I do these they are only 8x8cm so very fiddly and really make me consider what I can achieve in a small space.

June 30 is Asteroid Day to raise awareness of opportunities and risks posed by asteroids, their role in the formation of our solar system, their impact in space resources and importance of protecting Earth from impact.

For the #printerSolstice prompt split complimentary I was reminded of an animal that is fuchsia, indigo & yellow. So I made some wee little prints of a strange & beautiful creature, the fuchsia flatworm (Pseudoceros ferrugineus) from the tropical Indo-Pacific. Their gorgeous colours are aposematic - a warning to predators that they are not worth eating. So they can crawl around & feed on coral reefs without concern.

For the #Spacetober prompt JWST I chose how last year the space telescope gave us the clearest view of Neptune’s faint dust rings in decades, imaged for the first time in the infrared. To make my mini linocut I looked at satellite images in the visible wavelengths, so it appears its lovely blue colour and the JWST IR images to get the position of (some of) its rings. The printed area is only 3” x 6”.

As described, this is a tiny linocut print of Neptune with a pale blue sphere with swirling white clouds and two slanted rings with tiny dot moons carved into the black rectangle of space. The word  “Neptune” and its trident symbol is carved at the bottom.

A tiny linocut I made a few years ago: the red-legged grasshopper.

One of the most common grasshoppers in NA, these are the most commonly seen grasshoppers in the NE US & S Canada. Reddish-brown on their backs, yellow-green below, they are named for their orangy-red legs. In high-density, these grasshoppers can be considered a garden or agricultural pest who eat grain.

My linocut print is 7" (18 cm) by 4" (10 cm), on delicate Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper and shows a side view of a red-legged grasshopper in pale green, grey and orange. The rectangular print is displayed on a white square background.

Might do some more small prints sometimes soon, I always thought they would look good filling any little gaps on or when you don't have a lot of space. This little is a limited edition and has a couple of other companions.
