Top surgery recovery mode activated. I’m going to be reading and watching movies a lot.

Here’s the final piece from my solo show: “Speaker for the Spirits.” Hand-pulled linocut, about 12 x 18 inches, edition of 13.

“I Shall Go Into a Hare.” Hand-pulled linocut, 12 x 18.

Priestess of Pan and Dionysus. Linocut on paper, image size 12 x 18 inches. See it in person Excellent Frameworks in Duncan (Vancouver Island, Canada).

Selkie & Storm. 3-block linocut on paper, image is about 8x10 inches. Currently showing at Excellent Frameworks.

The window at the gallery where my show is…

Forgot to post this here! I finished my horror short story chapbooks! Yay! Now to figure out how I’m going to sell them.

I have to take pictures of the rest of the work in my show, so here are some shots of everything on the wall at the gallery instead.

Today’s piece from my solo show: Raven Witch. 2-block linocut on paper, about 8 x 10 inches.

A forest witch from my solo show. Three-block linocut on paper.

Another piece that’s in my show this month. “The Wolf and the Siren.” 3-block linocut in shades of grey.

First colour on these chapbook covers.

The last of the six mini linocuts I made recently, currently up at my solo show. (Tomorrow, I’ll start posting more of the larger prints.)

Colours for the horror short story chapbooks I’m working on. Pages will be digitally printed on the top paper (cotton bond), the endpapers will be this gorgeous brown marbled paper, and the covers will be hand-printed lino on the bottom paper (Stonehenge kraft cotton printmaking paper).

Another one of my wee little mini linocuts, currently in my solo show at Excellent Frameworks.

The other day an old lady saw this print from my show in the window and popped into the gallery to ask if I’d ever been to Cerne Abbas to see the giant in person. I said had not, but it was on my list of places to visit one day.

Here I am, camping in one of the most beautiful places on earth, and what I really want to be doing is working on printing the cover of the horror short story chapbook I’m releasing in October. 😂

Oh yeah, I guess I can post this now. 😂

Second grey down. Now just the black to go, but that will have to wait till Sunday.

I’m being extra anti-genAI today and printing my murder selkie linocut without even using a press.

Three-block selkie linocut ready to proof.

All set up at the Vancouver Island Pagan Pride fair in Campbell River. If you look closely, you may see some new work I haven’t shown before (except the odd in progress shot).

(Almost) last minute fair prep. I’m wrapping mini lino prints in glassine to put in my tiny cardboard vending machine.

Just when I was thinking maybe I could join the HWA because I have some horror short stories published, this happens. (The article is a very good response.)

Professional writer organizations should not send out pro-AI propaganda in the form of tantrum-having "essays" to their members, and I don't think that's controversial.

Oh yeah, forgot to post the finished deity mini prints.

Sneak peek at my new linocut. I’ll be cutting out most of the chatter, but this is a glimpse before I proof.

These six tiny deities are getting printed tomorrow and will come with me to Campbell River for the Pagan Fair next weekend, where I’ll be selling art.

Just about ready to start cutting

I can finally post this! I made this linocut for my partner for his birthday. I don’t usually make fanart, but he’s a huge Godzilla fan.

I just found out that a framed “Pan Waiting for Daphnis,” currently at the Sooke Fine Arts Show, sold during the purchaser’s preview last night. Woo hoo!
