My pink fairy armadillo print for International Armadillo Day!
One of a series of #linocut prints of the world’s smallest #armadillo, the adorably named pink fairy armadillo, each print is embellished with collaged, hand-printed pink Japanese washi papers. This print is on lovely Japanese paper with speckles of bark inclusions. The tiny armoured mammal, also known as a pichiciego or 🧵

Some later authors find Mendel’s data too good to be true and suspect some amount of confirmation bias or simplification of data and even call the conflict between the alleged “cooking” of the data and his moral character the “Mendelian Paradox.” Other authors dispute the evidence of any “cooking” of the data at all.

I love how this little cyanotype on Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper caught all the details in this foxtail barley! This native grass (Hordeum jubatum) is also known as bobtail or squirreltail barley.

Happy birthday to Dolly the sheep 🐑 ! Dolly, the female sheep born 5 July 1996, was a trailblazer. She was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer. This print is one of a kind lino cut with chine collé (collaged rainbow of Japanese kozo #washi papers) and the words “Hello Dolly!” in black, on cream coloured Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

My 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.
(In North America we use the word elk for Cervus canadensis, a completely other type of deer.)

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 🧵

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.

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!

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/

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

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 🧵

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

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 🧵

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.
