this is a new tiny zine i've drawing these last days, thanks to a burst of motivation! it's called "pocket exhibit" and it's an experiment in mixing line drawing (digital) and linocut stamps. I'm happy with the result and i've had a lot of fun drawing all these characters!
next step now will be to print another dozen or so of these :)

For Annalise Gratovich, family history informs a printmaking practice that explores deeply personal and even spiritual links to land, home, and a sense of belonging.

Happy birthday to #philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) who, amongst other things speculated about a teapot orbiting in space. This lino block print of Russell’s Teapot is part of my series of Imaginary Friends of Science of charismatic thought experiments. In this case, the alledged china teapot, in orbit between Earth and Mars is an analogy by philosopher Bertrand Russell to make the case that the 🧵

Happy birthday to French mathematician, physicist and philosopher Marie-Sophie Germain (1776 – 1831), known as Sophie. She taught herself mathematics using books in her father’s library and by corresponding with leading mathematicians of her day, including Lagrange, Legendre and Gauss, initially using the pseudonym Monsieur LeBlanc. Her work on elasticity theory won her the grand prize from the Paris Academy of Sciences. 🧵

What a fun afternoon we had yesterday at Brook Arts Hub in #StratforduponAvon learning the basics of #gelplateprinting.
Since I sold my etching press I've been looking for an alternative printmaking method which can easily be done from a small home studio. Perhaps the playful and experimental process of #gelliprinting is the answer? We shall see.
Thanks to Stephanie for guiding us!

Here to share my art and crafts. Human made only always. Header picture alt text: A black and white linocut print with words reading "ALL THE WALLS OF EMPIRE SHALL FALL" centered between two walls. The wall on the left is made of tall cement blocks and represents the walls in Palestine. The wall on the right is made of metal lengths and sheets and represents the walls on the southern border of the "U.S.". Both walls are topped with barbed wire.

@snailrageprints@metroholografix.ca it was a neat project and I learned some things: - I don’t particularly like the destruction inherent in the reduction process. I know, I know, all creation is destruction, but I’d rather come out with blocks I could print again and again. -Getting precise registration (aligning the paper with the printing block) with otherwise delightfully wispy deckled paper edges is an incredible challenge
- these color inks are not quite as opaque as I was led to believe, I had to do some additional mixing to get the pure green (shown here) to look green at all upon the red in the combined print. (It first came out looking black) #printMaking #reductionLinocut #reliefPrint #humanArt

#Viivasyövytys vs. #Akvatinta -vedokset samasta levystä.
Itse en ainakaan tiennyt vielä kuukausi sitten mitä nämä metalligrafiikan termit käytännössä edes tarkoittavat, joten ehkä tämä on informatiivista muillekin: Viivasyövytyksessä levyn pinta on suojattu pihkan ja tärpätin hajuisella pohjusteella ja nimen mukaisesti vain pohjusteeseen raaputetut viivat syöpyvät happokylvyssä. Akvatintassa levy on lähes paljas, jolloin koko pinta syöpyy - ellei joitain alueita nimenomaisesti suojaa sellakalla, kuten olen tässä tehnyt origamikurjelle. Enemmän syövytystä = tummempi väri.
On jotenkin tajunnanräjäyttävää miettiä, mistä ihmeestä ne ovat joskus 1600-luvulla keksineet, että tämmöistäkin voisi puuhailla. Puupiirrokset ja linografiikka ovat omasta mielestäni tosi loogisia ja suoraviivaisia prosesseja, mutta tämän tekniikan kehittäneellä tyypillä on kyllä ollut erilaiset aivot tai erilainen elämänkokemus kuin minulla - todennäköisesti toki molempia.
Opettaja on silti sitä mieltä, että tämä tekniikka ”sopii” minulle. Tosiasiassa taidan pikemminkin sopeuttaa tekemistäni ja aiheitani siihen tekniikkaan, joka kulloinkin on käsillä. 🤔 Joka tapauksessa olen nyt sen verran kärryillä, että seuraava työ vois olla jo ”varsinainen työ”, eikä harjoitus. 🚀 #grafiikka #printmaking

Day 11 #ArtAdventCalendar: Happy birthday to trailblazing US #astronomer Annie Jump Cannon (1863 – 1941), here with her stellar classification system which sorted stars based on spectral types, revealing their temperature from hot blue to cool red stars: O,B,A, F, G, K & M. Named the Harvard Classification after the university, her tremendous contribution was less visible. 🧵
