New linocut print - Medusa (oddly enough!) - is out in the wild.

Clocked this bumble snoozing away while embracing a daffodil today on a walk. With so much worrying crazy things bombarding us these days, finding and appreciating these little things is pure medicine.

Vertical rectangular black ink woodcut print on cream colored paper. A lumpy humanoid figure is playing a flute perched upon a black rock. Bog plants grow around it and a black crescent moon is in the upper right corner. The creature has only 3 thick toes and fingers, no eyes, and the face terminates in tentacles around where the mouth must be.

A vertical rectangular black ink woodcut on cream colored paper. A thick black border is filled with strange flora and fauna. The central scene is a goat-headed and footed figure cradling a monstrous infant. Both have gold halos behind their heads, and black tentacles emerge behind them. Two crustacean-like monsters perch on the cloud flanking them. The print is colored with watercolor, in greens, reds, orange, yellow, and purple.

A vertical black ink woodcut print on off-white paper. This piece is in a style reminiscent of post-colonial Aztec manuscripts. A dog-like humanoid being holds a seated naked human in one hand, gestures with the other, and a florish emerges from its mouth, indicating speach. In the margins are cut up snakes, a scorpion, foot symbols, and two skulls flanking a moon symbol.

A vertical rectangular black ink woodcut print on cream colored paper. The head of a lion shaped like a sun with many rays floats inside a stoppered bottle. Vines cradle the bottom of the round flask, and wings emerge near the neck of the vessel.

Thanks for the art share Davis!
Hi, I'm Liv, a woodcut printmaker and finalist for the Artist World Fantasy Award this year. All of my 2D art is sketched, hand-carved in wood, then inked and printed on my etching press. Sometimes I add color with watercolors, or gilding. #art #woodcut #printmaking

Truly delightful detail from a medieval manuscript page. Totally makes sense.

Image is a graphic poster for the Sunny Bank Mills Print Festival 2026. Text on a dusty blue banner to the left of the poster says the name and dates of the event, alongside smaller text that says, ‘A weekend celebrating the art of Printmaking including a Print Fair, Workshops and Artists’ Open Studios.’ The background is a reddish brown woodcut print by Bronte Adam, featuring a pair of birds sitting in a tree facing their beaks towards each other.

PRINT FESTIVAL! Returning to the Mills next month on 7th & 8th March - our annual celebration of #printmaking, #bookmaking and zines! Expect to see #screenprints, #monoprints, #risographs, #etchings, #zines, handmade #books and more. #Leeds

I'm having a break from Instagram for a while so I thought I'd jump back on here and see what happens! Here's one of my latest prints - Peacock..and it's a chunky size too at around A2.
Oh so many eyes to carve too....

This is what happens when I try to draw faces, only mildly affronted children emerge.

The Sulk: four colours, one attitude, and is for anyone who has ever needed a dramatic snood moment.

This fairly new print - Sir Phillip- inspired by the delicious Black Phillip from The Witch, is now up on my website. Very very happy with this one.

Cut a fresh new mount for this wee wood engraving that will be auctioned off later this year by Doves for Peace to raise funds for War Child. Very happy with it...not a tatty mess which I was half expecting.

A linocut print inspired by the X Files episode ‘Home’. The illustration shows a dilapidated shack in long grass sitting on a child’s skull. It’s quite grisly - even more so written down - apologies…

X is for X Files from my linocut series #folkhorroralphabet available now.

My first event in Nottingham is done and dusted! It's knackering but oh so good to be engaging with people face to face without an algorithm getting in the way. It was amazing. Time to snooze...

Here's a little update shot of my new print with the final touches being brushed on.

Thanks buddy!

Today layer #2 was rolled out and my new print is complete (after a little hand colouring too which you'll see in another post). Very happy with my little bat friend. Thinking I might so some smaller bat-focused prints.... probably.

Not managing to keep up with Bluesky very well after the initial push to get off Insta. In a bit of a creative drought so can't reveal any new stuff..... Here are a couple of lambies for your viewing pleasure instead.

A woodcut of a winged burgonet helmet, the design on the front visor is a strange face which almost looks like a fish from the angle shown. The wings are on either side of the helmet and look like a fan, with heart designs on them.

If you were designing your own helmet, what would you want it to look like? How about something like this flashy winged burgonet with a face mask on the visor.

A burgonet helmet was a Renaissance-era and early modern combat helmet.

This new block is nearly complete!
