Had a wonderful day today in the studio… However these do not entirely represent success …lessons learned, a couple of nice prints but mostly frustration at my general messiness a finger print or just a nail on nearly every one grrrr !!!!. . . .. .#badprintmaker.#rook #crow #linocut #printmaking #blockprinting #reliefprinting #lino #urbanbird #farmlandbirds #contemporaryart #cornwallart #wildlifeart #birdart #birdartist #wildbird #art #illustration #wildlife #naturalworld #contemporaryprintmaking #humananimalrelationship #get_imprinted #ukprintmakers #narrative #mythology #myth #art

Misty seems to approve of the circles 😂❤

Either trying to manifest the return of the sun or just printing circles…

As I walked into my studio this morning I was greeted by this and a tiny wren flying around the rafters ❤

Looking forward to revisiting ideas around this collagraph…. where ever I go there are always covids (most often Rooks, jackdaws or magpies) and pigeons.. it is with these birds that I am most fasinated as the live at the edge of our lives, fully aware of our presence as we are mostly oblivious to them.

Finally settled on the words to stand this magpie on .. ‘All too human’ seemed appropriate as the chatter together in family groups around my garden :). . . . …… #peopleandbirds #collage #linocut #magpie #printmaking #blockprinting #reliefprinting #lino #utbanbird #farmlandbirds #ink #contemporaryart #narrative #cornwallart #wildlifeart #birdart #birdartist #wildbird #artiststudio #inthestudio #art #illustration #collage #mixedmedia #wildlife #naturalworld #mixedmedia #contemporaryprintmaking #humananimalrelationship #get_imprinted #ukprintmakers

This one is about those moments when you encounter something and the memory stays with you… As Mary Oliver so eloquently says ‘a moment so deep and so wide it lasts a lfetime’

Looking bing playing around with compositions and collage with my ink drawings of ww1 carrier pigeons, complex multifaceted human animal relationships always interest me … You may have noticed 😁 . . .

A return to war pigeons, unknowingly standing with us in battles that didn’t concern them … thoughts keep returning to mull over again …. . President Wilson a very handsome black pigeon after serving in world war one he died on the 8th June 1929. . . .#pigeon #pesidentwilson #illustration #waranimals #warpigeons #carrierigeons #pigeon #racingpigeon #mixedmedia #wildlifeartist. #humananimalrelationship #authorialillustration #contemporarypainting #narrative #art #conceptual #britishartist #contemporaryartgallery #nationalpigeonservice #collage

Signs of time, thinking about change and how birds particularly those who live closely with us adapt often more easily than humans…
