And here we are: more Selkies!

In Celtic, Norse, Faroese and Icelandic mythology, selkies (also spelled silkies, sylkies, selchies) or
selkie folk, meaning ‘seal folk’ can change from seal to human form by shedding their skin. The legends tell of seal fairies or elves who choose to come ashore in human form, and sometimes have human families. 🧵

Several of my 11” x 14” selkie linocuts on cream coloured Japanese washi paper with speckled bark inclusions are laid out on the table to dry. Each print shows a red-headed selkie shedding her seal skin in a rock in the dark blue sea surrounded by grey spotted harbour seals. The light blue sky behind has grey clouds.

Needed some more selkies! This is the background sea and sky layer.
#linocut #printmaking #wip #selkie #folklore #seal #mastoArt

Ten of my 11”x14” linocut prints on cream coloured washi paper with bark inclusions are laid out on a table to dry. They are in their first state, with the sea and sky background printed. The outline of sea faces is unprinted in the dark blue sea below the as-of-yet-unprinted Selkie on a rock and the blue sky.

The sleepy sighs suggest this is more comfortable than it looks #seal #sealpup#NZFurSeal

A juvenile NZ fur seal nestles among some boulders at water’s edge, enjoying a snooze in the sun. From this angle it is twisted like a sleeping cat with a fat bottom.

Just so we're clear:

When I was a #SEAL deployed to #Afghanistan, we did not treat suspected #IED manufacturers this poorly.

This is #fascism. In America. Never normalize this. Never.
