Mmmmm… pancakes! Fortunately I’ve already eaten my pancakes (houmous & red pepper, followed by a Nutella one). This is Jesmonite resin, which bears a remarkable similarity to pancake batter.

Happy Lunar New Year! Sending one of these off today - serendipity! This print is of the beautiful horse sculpture at Wells-Next-The-Sea, Norfolk. Sculpture by Rachael Long is a much loved addition to the town, commemorating the lifeboat horses.

Here’s a little jaunt through my most recent linocut plate (reversed). There’s Stiffkey church, the pub, a couple of seals and sheep, the dodgy vicar, irate parishioners, Stiffkey cockle boats and a few other details besides. Plate size 38x27cm.

I’m calling this one finished. Will print some later this week & think of a title! ‘The Vicar of Stiffkey’ at the moment.

A rare occurrence today - shadows have been created by a big ball of fire in the sky - I believe it’s called ‘the sun’.

Progress so far - this linoprint tells the jaw-dropping 1930s tale of the Vicar of Stiffkey, in the 1930s. It involves north Norfolk, ladies of the night from the East End of London, a defrocking and an ignominious end courtesy of a lion at the seaside. Listen to therestishistory.com/episodes/a-1...

More detail - I’ve had to get my tiny magnifying glass out. More cutting to do…

Just read that Bud Cort, who played Harold in ‘Harold and Maude’ has died. A brilliantly quirky, life-affirming Hal Ashby film, unlike anything else. It has a great Cat Stevens soundtrack and Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon were both excellent in it.

I’ve finished carving all the lines - I’ll be adding the texture and letting in the light tomorrow. Here’s a bit of the carved detail so far.

Something to bear in mind if you’re heading to west London - the Albert Bridge has just been closed to motor vehicle traffic due to maintenance concerns. Hopefully, they’ll get it up and running soon - the Hammersmith Bridge has been closed since 2019!

For February, I thought I’d make an insanely detailed linocut. This is a small part of it. Can I carve it?!

It’s a universal truth that long after the Christmas decorations have been returned to the loft, you’ll find the one you missed. Here’s mine this year, found today and having a last moment aflame, before it’s consigned to the dark for the next 10 months.

A couple more from the sketchbook… I’m working on a new linocut, but it’s early days, so nothing to show just yet. It’s also Friday evening, so putting the pencil down & picking a G&T up!

In the brief snippet of sun we had yesterday, I did some gardening and came across these gorgeous velvety wisteria seed pods. They take 10-15 years to produce flowers from seeds however!

Well, that’s the mould finished. Not the most elegant object! Now to wait for it to cure for a day or two before testing it out.
