A linocut print of a kelpie, wading through a swamp in the rain. The image is printed on black ink on an olive green paper

I'm a medieval unicorn girlie in my heart, but kelpies are juusssttt....
There's something special about a kelpie.

My youngest niece Emily was diagnosed with CF a couple days before she was born in 2021, and while her care has been a massive undertaking for her parents she is still absolutely hilarious and spicy through it all.

She inspired my comic about a mermaid with CF 💜

It is! I stick it on when the ink is wet :D thanks!

Holy moly that's incredible!!

I didn't know that! :D we'll have to go into business making rain hats for herons

This is so wicked! Jupiter is my favourite planet :D

A linocut print of a king cheetah. The cheetah is mid-stride in a sprint and also has a gold foil crown floating on top of its head. The cheetah is printed on orange paper in black ink

My first #printpromptmonday is a King Cheetah, which felt appropriate for the #inmotion this week! 😊 @strangford.bsky.social @printsbythebay.bsky.social and @gemmatrickey.bsky.social pick awesome topics 👍👍❤️

(If you haven't googled King cheetahs check them out!! It's a mutation and it's gorgeous)

Thanks!! The heron is my fave too :D

She definitely knows the best gear for the weather!

A watercolour and pencil crayon mini painting of a chickadee dressed up like a chef. The chickadee is wearing round classes, a chef's hat and coat and a yellow kerchief. It's on a blue background and in a gold frame (also painted with pencil crayon details)

A watercolour heron with a scar over its eye, and the heron is wearing a green souwester and scarf. It's raining, and the heron is also in a painted brown frame

A watercolour sea otter wearing rectangular glasses, and a matching yellow plaid bowtie and hat. It's on a green background and inside of a painted yellowish frame

A sketchbook page showing three finished mini watercolor paintings. One features a raccoon wearing a bright orange vest and hat whole holding a wooden push broom. One features a hedgehog wearing a purple pinstripe suit, and one features a goldfish wearing a silver medieval helmet, and the goldfish is spattered in black ink. All three are inside of painted frames.

Sometimes I feel adventurous and bust out the watercolour paints...they usually intimidate me like crazy but if the stars are aligned it's some of the most fun I ever have making art :)

Printing layer two of three for this one... genuinely not sure if the end product will be worth it 😅

A top down photo of my desk, showing four ink pads, and five versions of a print made with pink erasers carved into stamps. The six erasers are also on the desk in a little clump. The print itself features little koroks from the video game 'Breath of the Wild" in the Legend of Zelda franchise, and each Koroks is in a cute little border. The koroks are printed in brown, red, green and grey.

Close up of the finished print. It's titled "ya ha ha!" And shows six little koroks in cute frames arranged around on the sheet of paper.

Close up of the six erasers after they've been carved into the stamps.

Inspired by @cactuscloudsart.bsky.social and her pink eraser stamps, I made some Koroks 🌿

A screen print of Dartmoor showing Haytor, a stone wall, stone circle, old road bridge, gorse, sheep and ponies.

Here's another recent print I created in 2024, this is called Dartmoor and it was a commission for Dartmoor National Park.

It features Haytor as well as part of a stone circle, stone wall, old stone bridge, gorse and of course animals.

These are wonderful!

Oh wooowwwww the detail is so amazing! I also love making medieval inspired linocuts but nothing this hardcore. So glad to have found your account!! ⚔️

A linocut print of a mermaid, holding a harpoon and lifting a vintage copper scuba helmet off her head. The mermaid has a scar on her arm and a very intense scowl - she looks like somebody you wouldn't want to cross. The mermaid is printed in black and the helmet is printed in metallic copper ink.

Finders Keepers

This is one mermaid who's seen some stuff. I had a customer tell me she reminded them of Athena, lifting up her helmet and looking super badass...and that made me very happy :D

Oh wow that's stunning!!!

A photo of two prints next to each other. Both prints have the same image of a fluffy cat wearing a suit of armor and holding a cat toy, but one cat is orange with metallic gold armor, and the other cat is black with metallic silver armor. The cat is surrounded by a border of leaves, a ball of yarn, a fish, a mouse, a tin of food and some treats.

Something silly for your Monday feed :)

My husband read this series and loved it! Maybe I should check it out

Real pleased with this blue mix I came up with and also real glad I picked raw umber instead of black for the linework. Everything's really gelling well.

Will look real nice when I add some colorful leaves I think.

Gorgeous!!!

A linocut print in dark (almost black) red ink, showing three medieval knights carrying a teacup, a teapot and a plate of scones. They're standing in elegant Jane Austen gentlemanly poses

Knightly Gentlemen

This print is one of my faves, the block is probably a year and a half hold but it still makes me so happy to print these guys!

A photo of some pieces of lino with drawings of two lions and other shapes around them, ready to be carved into blocks to print!

Getting some prep done to make a brand new print. This part is always the most boring... transferring the design to the block...but now I get to start carving so yay!
