Close up of a commission I finished earlier in the year. Based on the #Australian folklore of the #bunyip.

And if anyone is interested in a commission then I have recently opened up some slots - find all the details here: blockforest.co.uk/pages/commis

Happy birthday to #physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879)! He dreamt up his demon to deal with the very odd 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (which is not a law like others, and can not be derived from first priciples). It states that two bodies of different temperature brought together in a closed system will reach thermal equilibrium; or, you cannot use a cold thing to heat a hot thing; 🧵

For #WorldOceanDay I thought I would share a print with both a vertebrate and invertebrate ocean species. This linocut and gel plate print shows the humpback whale swimming above and a close up of the whale below with six Coronula diadema barnacles.

The Coronula diadema name comes from its barrel and crown-like shape, which can grow to 5 cm (2”) tall and 6 cm (2.4”) in diameter. 🧵

It’s my Improbability of Puffins.

I love this term of venery for puffins (who are indeed improbable looking sea birds). It’s part of my series of prints of groups of animals and the weird and wonderful collective nouns to describe them.

Hi #fediverse, I'm stuck.media and happy to be here - the place for knowledgeable malcontents, people of action & passion who thrive without the corporate teat.

I'm an indie #printmaker on the east coast of #TurtleIsland, so-called #canada. I make #stickers #posters #decals and more. I wish it weren't so, but the times call for drastic measures, thus my output focuses primarily on #antiCapitalism #antiColonialism #community #solidarity #resistance #transRights and #climateCrisis.

It's time to fight back. I'm glad to be here. We are not alone.

Feel free to say hi, I'm #friendly.

The dragonhunter is the largest clubtail dragonfly of SE Canada and the eastern US and it feeds on large insects like other dragonflies or monarch butterfly which it ambushes from above. For Manufactured Ecosystems I’ve imagined a dragonhunter ambushing an insect-inspired pollination drone. It may very well capture them but it could not eat them. We cannot simply replace declining numbers of pollinators with drones. 🧵

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).⠀

Laying down a little texture on first layer of a new print, something a bit apocalyptic as befits the times ☄️

Here's my second colour proof of my Thatchers print. It will look almost like this only hopefully with a few more white brush strokes at the top.

All film positives made entirely by hand with paper cuts, brush marks and pencil marks. Oh and some scraping.
