Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

A lino print of a fox in birch woods with strong shadows

A little break from birds. One of my favourite lino prints I’ve made is this one titled ‘Fox & Birch’ - it’s printed on gorgeous Japanese washi paper, and using excellent Cranfield printing inks which are made locally to me.

The painting on the verso of this folio is the first half of a double-page frontispiece now detached from a <em>Shahnama</em> (Book of Kings) manuscript. CMA 1956.10 is the left half of the frontispiece.<br><br>As though setting the scene for royal stories and activities, these two opening pages of Iran’s national epic present a luxurious gathering in an idyllic outdoor setting. Groups of nobles and international diplomats have come bearing gifts, including costly vessels and hunting animals. <br><br>At the upper right, seemingly uninterested in the emissaries and gifts, a prince kneels with six royal women under an open tent. He pulls one of them toward him, apparently to coax her to drink a cup of wine. At the bottom a musician plays a harp that has been mounted over a stream, painted with now tarnished silver paint. Drama and intrigue seem to be brewing, given the knowing glances and whispers between figures.
