It’s Earth Day today. Here’s one of my favourite places on this beautiful earth of ours - Scolt Head island in Norfolk.

Amazed to see a hedgehog in the woods this morning - the first one I’ve seen in London for about 30 years!

Final layer! ‘Meet You at the Holly Bush’ three block linocut.

#hollybush #linocut #printmaking

Psyching myself up to print some of my ‘Meet You at the Holly Bush’ prints. This is my most complicated print and takes me ages to print each one (swipe for final print). Maybe a cup of tea first…

#cupoftea #getdownonit

The key layer (in marine blue, of course!) brings it all together… ‘The Life & Times of the Bowhead Whale (268 Years)’.

Rolling out the ink on the key layer…

I’ve been busy printing for the Affordable Art Fair in May, where I’ll be exhibiting with Contemporarti. All available surfaces pressed into action…

Diving into the first layer… an ultramarine marine scene.

Having a whale of a time printing some of these today…

Reading about reading (if only I were in Reading…).

Printing finished for today. Now to enjoy the evening sunshine from our daily star…

Who needs Artemis II when you can simply spin around the universe with your nearest and dearest? Printing some of these today ‘We Are Stardust’.

Who knew there was a cat genie in Heal’s?! 💫

I made this little linocut last year (just after that fateful election). More relevant each day…

Final layer with the evening sun streaming through the window. ‘Starry Night Over Albert Bridge’.

The Thames winding its way underneath the Albert Bridge between Chelsea and Battersea on the way towards the brights lights of central London… now for the second layer.

#thames #riverthames

Printing some of these today ‘Starry Night Over Albert Bridge’. Not so much a bridge over troubled water, but a troubled bridge over water, as it’s currently closed to motor traffic.

I am indeed half way there. This is the pink/orange version completed. Blue/yellow after lunch…

Waiting patiently to be inked up for the final layer…

Second layer on these…

First layer…

My first thought was ‘nice passport’ 😂

Thought I’d try my ‘Truffle Hunter’ in a different finish. The one on the left is aluminium resin & on the right iron paste patination on resin.

Thank you very much!
