Dude's wanted a military parade for himself for years and he finally makes it happen and turnout is worse than at a medium sized city's farmers market on a rainy day while like 2% of the entire country went out to protest his bullshit

This is the first layer of a new etching. I went in to darken the foreground and added aquatint to the ground and sky because the plate has some big visible scratches on it that I don't think I can fully buff away. About to test print now. Wish me and ducky luck!

These are my foster cats Orca and Oyster who are bunking in my workshop. They came to us as an emergency situation after a friend unexpectedly passed away a couple of weeks ago. They're going to the vet on Wednesday and once we know they are healthy, I will be hunting for a perfect home for them.

I am candying orange and lemon peel to make bara brith for this Friday's belated St. David's Day Artwalk at Greenwood Art Collective and my house smells amazing. If you are in the Seattle area this Friday you should come by the collective and have some and look at our spring art and grab a daffodil.

My etching for the year of the snake. I may go back in with some aquatint to really bump up the shadows and depth. This is my fourth year on my Chinese zodiac animals project. Looking forward to getting back to fur or feathers after two years of scales in a row.

Today we welcomed young Gareth Thumbs-Jones to the cat family. Kaesu was like a kitten herself again, chasing him all over the house. Mazikeen hates change and is currently eating her feelings and his leftovers. Moxie has exiled herself to her princess bed for a good sulk. We are awash in oxytocin.

It's official! Our new kitten is coming home on Sunday. Mazikeen will have a minion to tutor in the dark arts. Kaesu will have a new toy to help keep her old bones young. And Moxie will have something to be disgusted and outraged by since she's a cat and doesn't keep up with politics like her folks.

Here's the watercolor tinted version of my bleeding hearts etching. I think it has the requisite "torn from an old botanical specimen book" feeling I was going for. #botanicalillustration

Round two of etching on my bleeding hearts. I think I have added enough contrast. Going to add some watercolor to really pop the hearts.

First pass on a new etching plate of a more surreal version of regular botanical bleeding hearts. I have recoated the plate and am going back in to darken some lines and add shadows and dimension now that I see how it actually prints on paper.

Also jarring to me that we've never had any real collective mourning in the USA. More than a million Americans have died of Covid and, barring some very isolated moments, there's been no sense of coming together to mark the incalculable loss. No events. No monuments. Etc.

For #invertefest I have an etching of a UK mason bee printed using the chine collé method of placing thin paper and a sprinkling of wheat paste on to the plate to collage and print in one pass through the press. That's how the wings have the diaphanous white effect.

For the last official post of #ArtAdventCalendar here is a portrait of my studio assistant and printers devil Moxie when she was a kitten. This has been a really fun way to start actively posting on this platform and I will definitely be continuing to share art here. Merry Christmas, Nadolig Llawen!

For Day 24 of #ArtAdventCalendar I present one of my favorite etchings, my interpretation of what Baba Yaga's chicken leg hut should have looked like if it was architecturally accurate. I grew up with these stories so I hid her skull fence in the roof molding and Vasilissa's doll peeks out a window.

For Day 22 of #ArtAdventCalendar I have my moon gazing bunny made for a Year of the Rabbit show in 2023. You get two bonus buns: one in the moon that a paint in by hand on every print as a remarque and the southern constellation Lepus (the rabbit) in the sky. The dark tones are made with aquatint.

In honor of @rafial.bsky.social 's birthday today, here is his favorite etching for day 21 of #ArtAdventCalendar which is inspired by the book Mozart's Starling. He kept a pet starling and possibly this composition was based on its song. I know everyone hates this invasive jerk bird but I don't.

This was a test plate I made years ago when learning spit bite aquatint and I used an eraser to make the antlers and painted a red nose.

For day 19 of #ArtAdventCalendar, I have a print I made this year of many different moth species against a dark sky background that I made with aquatint - powdered rosin baked into the plate that allows for etching shallow rough patches that hold ink to create fields of tone, kinda like halftones.

For day 18 of #ArtAdventCalendar here is a test print of my newest plate. I'm enjoying tinkering around with my various mica based watercolors to achieve an iridescent effect on the eye. I definitely need to figure out better lighting to photograph it, as a basic phone snap doesn't look great, alas.
