For #WorldOceanDay I thought I would share a print with both a vertebrate and invertebrate ocean species. This linocut and gel plate print shows the humpback whale swimming above and a close up of the whale below with six Coronula diadema barnacles.

The Coronula diadema name comes from its barrel and crown-like shape, which can grow to 5 cm (2”) tall and 6 cm (2.4”) in diameter. 🧵

My square 8” x 8” print on white washi paper. The upper two thirds are printed as a deep blue-green rectangle with missing unprinted white silhouette of a humpback whale now filled with a linocut print of the humpback in dark blue-grey. The tip of its mouth and tail extend into the white margin space. The bottom third is a grey rectangle with the missing silhouettes of 6 barnacles unprinted in white now filled with linocut C. diadema barnacles with silver striations and orange centres with opercular valves.

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.

My linocut print of 4 puffins clustered on a rock with the words “An Improbability of Puffins.” The text is black except “Improbability” which is orange.

Artist Jenie Gao in the print shop, pulling a large scale woodblock print (in jade green and red) on the press. The image is of a homing pigeon and resembles carved jade.

The print is roughly 4x3 feet and on muslin canvas.

Jenie is of Taiwanese and Chinese descent and has short black hair with a side fade, and is wearing an inky lab coat.

April 25 is #WorldPenguinDay so enjoy some Adélie penguins! ⠀


This handsome couple, two Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae), common to all the Antarctic coasts, are hand printed in black ink with a hint of orange on white Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper. Each print is 12.5” by 9.25” (31.8 cm by 23.5cm). Adélie penguins are the most widely spread and southernly penguins (along with the Emperor penguins).⠀

Happy birthday to #mathematician Felix Klein (1849-1925). This is a hand-carved and hand-printed image of the famous mathematical object, the Klein bottle, printed in a gradient of pale yellow-green to darker blue-green on paper 8” by 8” (20.3 cm by 20.3 cm). First described by mathematician Felix Klein in 1882, this object has a single surface, rather like a 3D version of a Möbius strip. 🧵

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.

Tiny linocut print of a rat in profile in black on white. It is somewhat round, and looks inquisitive with its front left paw raised.

On the drying rack! The prompt for this assignment was “food” 🥕

Calling this the “Uh Oh! This Has a Due Date” version. But, in all seriousness, I’m considering carving a third block for this design. I specifically would like to add green to the carrot’s leaves (and maybe the girl’s clothing?) to make it more balanced.
