It has been a while I know! This quick post is to celebrate, as usual the Turn of the Year.
I have been trying to improve my beginner wood engraving skills but, an autumn of feeling much less than 100%, has meant slow progress. However the slow return of light is such a lovely thought and today I definitely feel more optimistic. So I am sharing one of the small recent wood engravings.
I am hoping to make a small book “thing” about comets which will involve some prints and possibly a few 3D pieces.
This is the most wintery of them… a comet appearing to the Arctic polar bears. I love a comet. To me they are heralds of wonder and good fortune, rather than portents of doom. I like to think the polar bears might just have reason to be optimistic in 2023, I do hope so.

Happy Solstice to all !
