Black and white linoprint of two boxing hares in a ploughed field with swirling windy sky
Hi all
First full proof of my latest print. Something a little different, single colour and a slightly different style to my usual animal prints.
It may become a multi block.
Happy printing!

The title page of Slippery Creatures by KJ Charles, with my ex libris stamped on it in black. It's a linocut of a very rotund and gormless cartoony pigeon sitting on a pile of books. The spines of the book say "ex libris CK"
Aw thank you so much! I love pigeons too, they're such great wee creatures. I made a linocut stamp of a pigeon for my ex libris!
Line and colored pencil drawing of a white cat with gray spots, turned partly in profile
Figure model is especially lively because 1) catnip mouse 2) spring weather 3) an alpha cat from the household is away right now. But I managed to catch her this way.

Art vending machine.
Volk Gallery has launched a print vending machine (converted nappy dispensing machine) in Central Library, Dundee. featuring different artists each month. I got this gorgeous lino-cut print from @maevecallisterwafer just £3. I can see this becoming my latest obsession!

Cool! Hope you will -- I'd like to see it. So far, if I sketch or draw *anything, that counts. Aiming for before noon, so I won't put it off. It's movement drawing practice. Plus, so far I am able to draw the cat. And it's relaxing; mental-health benefit. :)
Working with a fast-moving figure model this morning.

Figure model cat Amy is back from slipping past me at the door this morning. Outside is sodden after a heavy rain, so she is happier indoors.

Human artists, use only one piece of art to convince people to follow you.

Person holding a book titled "A Philosopher Looks at the Weather" by Benjamin Hale. The background shows a blurred bookshelf with various other books.
Whether it's the first sunshine of March, or early spring showers, we all love to talk about the weather. ☔☀️
In the brand new addition to the 'A Philosopher Looks at...' series, Benjamin Hale explores what weather is, how it behaves, and how we will forever be learning to live alongside it.
Moodboard for this gloomy March day.

Sketchpad page showing a drawing of a white and gray spotted cat, with a mug and a jar of water behind pad
Amy the cat sprawled on a chair. She went outside earlier and apparently decided it is too muggy (with good reason here in sunny Swamplandia); is now relaxing.

Drawing (pen and colored pencil) of a tall can of red beans
Finding I can start each morning less focused on controlling details and the world if I draw in this "no expectations" way. Fun, fun!

Agapanthus stalks and “skeletons” against a blue sky.
Before you cut everything back to make the garden look “neat” — pause.
Right now in Ireland and the UK, many insects are still overwintering inside last year’s hollow stems.
Most don’t emerge until temps are regularly above ~10–12°C (often late March–April).
“Tidy” can mean destroying shelter. 🌱🦋
A sundog in a streaky cloud sky over bare winter trees (Sundog - rainbow like circle around the sun with white light radiate out from the arc) and a white jet trail crossing through it.
I may have gotten up too late to catch the lunar eclipse, but I did get a lovely sundog over the schoolyard.
Reminder: The filing deadline is March 30, 2026.

At a certain time of day, when the sun turns west, my sheet of lino, blackened by the residue of ink and oily cleaning, reminds me a little of the Ridley Scott-esque bas-relief aesthetic of Prometheus, and I like it.
