#Hands at work is one of my fave subjects to photograph. I've always loved watching & photographing hands, working to create.

I just met on a one way street in #Chicago with an #activist who gave me these #posters and #stickers out of the back of his car.

He's spending $10s of thousands on making prints for protests. But he needs #artists and #graphicdesign folks. His high-end professional contacts are #scared to provide designs because of their ties to big tech, etc. 80% ghosted him. Please boost and reply with #poster designs he can use.

Finally circled back to my first linocut block and got some good prints from it.

Honestly still not sure why I feel compelled to make these but I really like this one. I'm thinking about adding some stars in the white space in a different color.

This linocut shows a smack of jellyfish. The collective noun for a group of jellyfish is a "smack". This amuses me, because I imagine them smacking their tentacles together in some sort of deepsea high five. To be honest, marine biologists speak of 'blooms' and we do tend to lump in a bunch of soft-bodies marine creatures into the term jellyfish, all of the gelatinous zooplankton in fact....

Happy birthday to German-American theoretical #physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer (1906-1972), the 2nd woman to win the Nobel Prize for #physics. As the series of increasingly large atomic nuclei grows with additional nucleons (protons p & neutrons n) from hydrogen to transuranic elements, there are points where the binding energy of the next nucleon is a lot lower than the last. So there are a series of quantum “magic numbers” (a term coined by Wigner):

On Sunday, I'll be at #WellandCommunityOrchard almost all day. I'm helping out at the #printmaking / #linocut #creative #art #workshop in the orchard. Staying to help with the weekly work party; assorted chores to keep the orchard healthy. We welcome #workparty #volunteers - year round!

This is a unique hand made cyanotype on watercolour paper (11” x 14”) with an image of grasses wildflowers with collaged lino block printed butterflies. The butterflies are both found here in Ontario: the yellow and black (with red and blue spots) Eastern tiger swallowtails (Papilio glaucus) and 1/2

Satan as Piglet.

Reduction linocut with rubber stamp by David Gander.

Stonechat. Finished wood engraving, first test print, which I'm very pleased with and the photo that the engraving is based on, taken on one of our regular walks on Ilkley Moor.

My friend Marty was like "Hey man, Fran needs help" and you know what, Fran is an awesome dude and a great asset to Milwaukee, and he gave me a chance to show & sell my work last year so I pitch a bit of money towards him.

And then more people did, and more, and it doubled the same day, and doubled again since last night! Smashed the original goal.

Community. We build it. Be there for each other. Help when you can.

My #linocut of Italian #neurobiologist Rita Levi-Montalcini (1909 – 2012) who won the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with for her co-discovery of nerve growth factor (NGF)

Youngest of 4 of a Turin Jewish family, she planned to be a writer but the death of a nanny to cancer inspired her to pursue medicine. Inspired by neurohistologist Levi to study nerves as an undergrad, she stayed on after med school in ‘36 as his assistant.

Happy birthday to Alan Turing, OBE, FRS (1912 – 1954), British #mathematician, #cryptanalyst, computer scientist, prophet & hero. Turing foresaw not only that machines might quite likely develop the capacity to think (after all, our brains are only made of matter, and complex systems of neurons, which either fire or not, much like an electronic switch), but that we needed an objective, double-blind test to determine whether 1/n
