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. 🧵

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.

Photo of me pulling one of my large-scale woodcuts off the press.
Work title: Pigeon, half of a diptych with Fènghuáng. The works resemble hand-carved jade pendants.

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. 🧵

In a democracy it's possible to vote for a dictator, but in a dictatorship it's impossible to vote for democracy. #linocut #linogravure #reliefprint
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.
