Today for #ArtAdventCalendar, one of my most popular prints which also happens to be one of my first. #CompostTheRich

Linocut print of a watch-wearing skeletal hand buried under flowers. At the top are the words "Compost the Rich."

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 25 - Merry Christmas!

#yegPhotographer #CanadianPhotography #CanadianPartyTricks

Self-photo in silhouette against the setting winter sun. I'm standing on the landing of a stair case that leads into the city's river valley--the river and skyline can be seen in the background. I'm tossing a cup of hot water over my head in the photo--because of the extreme cold temperatures when this shot was taken, the water turns immediately to steam. The steam has yellowy-orange hue to it because of the sun's light. It's giving "polar vortex fireworks."

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 24 - #ChristmasEve on my street.

#yegWX #abStorm #iPhonePhotography #ShotOnIphone

Black and white photo of a post-war era home on a residential street. The exterior is a dark brown, accented by white windows and a white door. It is snowing heavily, and the house is starting to look like a gingerbread house: the roof is covered with snow, as are the stairs, and the surrounding lawn, sidewalk, and street in front of the house.

Macro photo of a grasshopper sitting on a cluster of small magenta flowers (Seek tells me it's Philadelphia Fleabane, but I'm not entirely convinced).

Day 21 - matcha bowl

I’ve only dabbled in ceramics but I’m thankful for the time I got to spend with it.

I hope to be able to return when I’m healthier enough to have a craft which involves time & clean up a bit more strictly.

A low clay bowl which is a wide cylinder-ish shape held in a white person and wearing a compression glove with grippy dots. The base glaze is a light mossy lime, and green, which has a bamboo like texture pressed into the light clay. Above that is a dip glaze which fades from brown to cyan, kind of resembling seafoam in texture, especially at the cyan, where it is somewhat bubbly, and has lots of particulate dots. At the top of the cup, you can see the green through the glaze. The cyan is opaque. In the background is a Monstera plant.

A slightly higher angle, and the cup is rotated. Looking into the cup, we can see that the interior is a warmer brown, which is almost a little rusty red brown The glaze that goes from brown to cyan is dipped slightly on the interior, making a small rim high up in the interior with a thin cyan ring close to the top. On the side, we can see some imperfections in the depth of the top layer of the glaze over the green on the outside, it is a beginners piece.

Closer up view of the second coinage showing details in the glazes which are reflective and glassy on the outside. The inside glaze is more matte and has speckles of dark.

Day 22 #artAdventCalendar my bee (and other pollinator) propaganda I made for Manufactured Ecosystems. Thinking about the future of pollination and seeking solutions from technological and nature-based knowledge. This is essentially my conclusion: we can aid our beleaguered pollinators with technology but their continued success is vital. 🧵

As described this 16” x 20” linocut print combines gold text in a central circle reading “OUR FATE” arching upwards, “IS TIED” horizontally across the middle, “TO THAT OF THE INSECTS” arching downwards in two lines with insects. Clockwise from top: two leaf cutter bees (Megachile relativa and M. brevis), the Imperial moth (Eacles imperialis), the Virgin Tiger moth (Apantesis virgo), an Isabella’s Longwings butterfly (Nymphalidae Eueides isabella), a blue orchard mason bee (Osmia lignaria), a firefly (Photinus pyralis), the rusty patched bumblebee (Bombus affinis), a white underwing moth (Catocala relicta), an eastern carpenter bee (Xylocopa virginica), a sweat bee (Agapostemon sericeus), a hummingbird clearwing moth (Hermaris thysbe), the common eastern bumblebee (B. impatiens), a long-horned bee (Melissodes sp.), a monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) and centre: eastern snail-shell nesting bee (O. conjuncta).

Day 24 &, although we have a secular festive celebration in House Eclectech, when I was wee day 24 on the advent calendar* was a double sized window with a nativity scene behind, so this is the natural end point for me.

Tbf the nativity wasn't knitted & the stable wasn't up a snowy Scottish mountain, but you have to put your own twist on things.

* Old school. No chocs or mini figs or cheese, just festive pics as you count down to the Big Day.

#sillyScribblesAdvent #artAdventCalendar #Scotland

A composite photo with drawing on top. The scene is up a mountain in the Highlands, with patches of snow on the ground and sun dappled moorland in the distance. There is a large boulder on the right hand side. To its left has been placed a wooden stable filled with a knitted nativity scene with the usual stuff; a baby, Mary & Joseph, wise men, shepherds, a lamb and a donkey. Drawn on top, and making a rather crowded scene, are 24 of my Friend folk. Simple black and white figures wearing a wide variety of festive headgear (Santa hats, reindeer antlers, Christmas tree hats). One on the right holds a placard with the number 24 on it. One sits on a sleigh with a knitted chicken in the distance behind the stable. One lies on top, the bobble of their hat dangling down. The others stand to the sides of the stable, and inside at the back, with some sitting on the rock and the front edge of the stable. It's all quite busy, but they all hope you have a lovely few days, whether or not you celebrate, and whatever you are doing. And so do I.

Day 23, Christmas Eve eve, and the Friends are all heading somewhere for their final advent gathering. You might need to watch a while to see all 23 😁

Day 22 & if I'm interpreting my internal narrative correctly they're now on their way home from their Last Christmas Supper via a foggy, sloping, Scottish street.

In my head at least one of them is singing 🎶 "show me the way to go home,
I'm tired & I want to go to bed,
I had a little drink about an hour ago
& it went right to my head..." 🎶

#sillyScribblesAdvent #artAdventCalendar #nonsense

A photo of a dark street, with a stone wall sloping down to the right of the image where it meets a fir tree, now decorated with lights and a star on the top. There are glowing street lamps at intervals. The photo is taken from a lower level, looking up to the black wall. There are 22 of my Friends (simple drawn figures in a variety of festive hats) scribbled on. Most are on the road, peering over the wall. One is sitting at the top of the lampost holding a placard with the number 22 on it. Another is near the bottom, starting to climb up. Another has climbed the tree and is peering over. There is one in the foreground. They got confused and went down the wrong darker path. They shine a torch up illuminating themselves. It would probably be more sensible for them to use it to illuminate the path, but they'll get there...
