  1. 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 🧵

  6. I made my friend a birthday card with washi tape, stickers, and rhinestones. It doesn't say "happy birthday", but I still think it looks neat.

  7. This is one of a series, each unique, of my hand made cyanotypes on watercolour paper (14” x 11”) with an image of a cloud-filled sky overprinted with my linocut print of several kites, and wind-socks each collaged with beautiful Japanese washi papers.

    The carp-shaped Koinobori wind socks (also known as satsuki-nobori) are flown in Japan to celebrate Tango no sekku, or Children’s Day each May 5.

  12. jesters, clowns, chimney sweeps and musicians. Modern celebrations often feature Morris dancers and green clad revellers. May Day marks the time to celebrate that winter is finally over (in this hemisphere at least) and plants are sprouting!

  17. 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. 🇨🇦

    April 7 is International Beaver Day. While a species of “least concern” according to the IUCN Red List of mammals, numbers of North American beavers have been literally decimated since colonization. 🧵1/

  18. It’s #WorldFrogDay to draw attention to the important role frogs play in ecosystems.

  19. Apparently January 25 is Moose Day. 🤷‍♀️

    Enjoy this Moose.

    A moose lino block print is hand printed on delicate, translucent, handmade Japanese paper with a deckle edge. Each print is 9.5” tall and 12” wide (24.1 cm by 30.5 cm). This is a North American bull moose (Alces alces), which, confusingly is called an elk in British English.

  20. I made a full edition of my alfalfa leafcutting bee (Megachile rotundata) cutting a leaf. The alfalfa leafcutting bee is a solitary bee originally from Europe which has been spread to all continents but Antartica for agriculture. In North America it has become feral and widespread. 🧵1/2

  21. Day 7 #artAdventCalendar my #linocut horseshoe crab (Tachypeus gigas) in grey, blue-bronze and dark brown on 8” x 8” cream-coloured Japanese paper with bark inclusions. They get their name from their horseshoe like shape but they are not crabs; they are chelicerates, more closely related to arachnids and they are “living fossils” which have changed very little since they first appeared in the Triassic. The textured sandy 🧵

  22. Apparently it’s #FlyDay or #DrosophilaDay in honour of the day Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly or vinegar fly line w1118 (the first variant with the white eyes) was isolated, so enjoy some drosophila #sciart! This print highlights the model organism with a ring of 5 of the different eye colour genetic mutations.

    A species of fly (the taxonomic order Diptera) in the family Drosophilidae, D. melanogaster is used as a model organism 🧵1/2

  23. New print for #Spacetober_challenge prompt day 16: parachute! 🪂

    This is a collaged lino block print with an image of the parachute deployed during the descent of the Mars Perseverance rover as it landed on the planet February 18, 2021. The spacecraft team selected the red and white stripes to encode a secret message in binary: "DARE MIGHTY THINGS" along with

  25. For #InternationalCoffeeDay: Once I’ve had a coffee, I can face the day, and contemplate doing things which require higher brain functions, like carving letters in reverse, or the molecular structure of caffeine. This is a linoleum block print, in a rich, dark, coffee-brown on beige (like creamy coffee) coloured Japanese kozo paper, 8” by 10” paper (20.3 cm by 25.4 cm). The print is my illustration of a coffee mug 🧵

  30. A raccoon to appreciate for Raccoon Appreciation Day!

    I appreciate raccoons; they are really quite extraordinary. This little guy came to my back door like that to politely inquire where I had moved the compost bin to. I snapped his photo and carved his portrait.
