Heyo everyone, I'm back :) Here's my current lino project sporting an original design from yours truly. Now I just gotta finish carving it

For #Invertefest here is my completed pollinator garden work which I made for my show about the future of pollination for Manufactured Ecosystems. Using collaged linocut prints I built up this little garden with multiple native wildflowers, bees, moths, butterflies, beetles and a log, complete with some holes as homes for native bees.

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.

quick #linocut that i think might look good when printed with deliberate registration offset

I spent a chunk of my weekend 3D printing the small etching press released by the Open Press Project, to give to one of my kids who is studying traditional intaglio printing (and who has access to much more serious presses at school.)

I bought a cold press laminator for relief printing, and holy cats, you guys, this is a game changer. These are from my very first test run. So much easier and more consistent than hand burnishing!

It’s #InverteFest again! So here is my pollinator propaganda for Manufactured Ecosystems. Thinking about the future of pollination and seeking solutions from technological and nature-based knowledge. This is essentially my conclusion: we can aid our beleaguered pollinators with technology but their continued success is vital. We need to foster the insects to keep ecosystems functioning.

Time to find out how I did!

Made some flowers. This was a pretty small print, like 10 x 12 cm

This is a unique hand made cyanotype on watercolour paper (11” x 14”) with an image of my Eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) butterfly linocut on a cyanotype image of leaves and flowers.

Part of my scheme of removing invasive plants and turning them into art!

Born on this day: #physicist J. R. Oppenheimer (1904-1967). While best remembered for his role in the Manhattan Project, he was a giant of 20th century theoretical physics, nominated for a Nobel 3 times. ⁠
⁠
In 1927 he & Max Born greatly simplified how we predict electrons behaviour within atoms. The Born-Oppenheimer or adiabatic approximation is based on the observation that electrons are 1000s times lighter than nuclei, 1/n

Prints with various level of registration error, from none to maximum . Registration error is a great #glitchart look actually.
