Acorn woodpecker in a riparian forest, Chiricahua Mountains AZ (after a long break from social media, but not from linocut printmaking). 2 block linocut print, Caligo Safe Wash ink, Hosho paper.

There's a certain set of shared values underlying Jeffrey Epstein saying "She's not here for you" to Trump about a woman he was abusing and Trump complaining that Epstein was "stealing" his people.

Democracy and science have collapsed in the US--but the dog still needs to be fed and walked, the garden weeded, the dishes washed. It's hard to wrap my mind around all this.

The attack on science in this Big Brutal Bill is horrific: 56% cut to NSF; 73% cut to grad student fellowships; 39% cut to USGS; 100% cut to ecosystem sciences; etc etc. From today's Guardian.

This is grim: On “July 7, 2025, the National Archives at College Park, MD, will become a restricted-access federal facility with access only for visitors with a legitimate business need. It will no longer be open to the general public.” “Legitimate” is not defined. www.archives.gov/college-park

Mass deportations from Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill could quietly cost U.S. over $1.4 trillion. www.yahoo.com/news/mass-de...?

Here’s what’s coming up for #printpromptmonday in April! Don’t worry about sticking too closely to the prompts, it’s more about connecting with other printmakers 🩷 Give this a share to spread the word! Looking forward to seeing all the lovely prints on Monday… #artshare #art #printmaking #print

Happy Easter to all who celebrate, including perhaps this #barredowl in the apple trees along #LakeSuperior (we still have lots of snow in the woods, but the owls are beginning to call. Yesterday there were dozens of yellowlegs in the flooding river plain. #reductionlinocut #printmaking #PrintSky

For #PrintPromptMonday #FavouritePiece my favourite print may be last April’s northern gannets over Skrudar Island, Iceland. #linocut #reductionprint #birdsinart

Another #reindeer portrait for my book in progress, Reindeer on the Run. She’s from Iceland. Reindeer eyes are extraordinary.

#PrintPromptMonday #friends I’ve not been able to carve or print the last 3 weeks cuz of autoimmune flares. (Plus political despair). But here are two raven friends from last winter. Love seeing all your prints

#printPromptMonday theme was #magic. As a scientist, believe magic lies in the astounding interconnections of wildness. Here’s a bowhead whale and her calf, whose songs fill the Arctic Ocean.

For #printpromptmonday here is a little #foliage: pine siskins foraging in last year’s coneflowers in the garden. We got another foot of snow this weekend, so siskins are a joy. Fabriano Rosapina, Caligo Safewash. #linocut #printmaking #readyForSpring

Reindeer in the Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland. #linocut #reduction print. Commissioned print for a book on reindeer around the globe. #printsky #printmaking #cairngorm #reindeer #womensart

For #printpromptmonday, here's an #inprogress series of images from my Jan 2025 reduction print of a Whooping Swan: 1) the drawing & lino showing the drawing transferred and 1st layer carved; 2) layer 4 (dark gray) drying; 3) final swan.

Trumpeter swan flying over Point of View preserve, #KeweenawLandTrust on #LakeSuperior. Trumpeters were once extinct in the #GreatLakes of the US, but a successful federal program has helped them return. (Federal conservation works! It now needs your support). #linocut #reductionprint

This is a wretched day for America, but at least I have a tiny bit of good news: my reduction linocut print "Northern Gannets in Iceland" has made it through the first round of cuts in the #JacksonsArtPrize. Small mercies.

We still have 3ft of snow in the woods. It's maple tapping time, not apple blossom time. Still--here's a barred owl in the apple tree where it used to hang out near my old cabin in the woods (where we tapped maples, as we still do here on Lake Superior). #reductionprint #linocut #owls #mapletapping

For #printpromptMonday #water, here are two kittiwakes on an iceberg floating in the #Arctic Ocean in the #Svalbard archipelago. #printmaking #reductionlinocut #linocut #ArcticCircleResidency

Another owl linocut --this one of a Great Gray Owl in the boreal winter forest. #reductionlinocut #printmaking #printsky #linocut

A swan for a grey winter day. #reductionlinocut #linocut #printsky #printmaking

For the #PrintPromptMonday theme of #flipped , here’s a stab: a #reduction #linocut of a gull and her reflection in shallow water

Another gorgeous snowy morning in a collapsing country. Here’s a barred owl in Prussian blue encouraging us to resist. #linocut #printmaking #printsky #

It's #spring! Time for the #BlueSkyArtShow! Actually, we're still buried under many feet of wonderful snow here on #LakeSuperior. Here's a brave little nuthatch singing his heart out all the same--and a scene from this morning. #linocut #printsky #printmaking #birdsinart

In between screaming into the void (and calling congress), I'm writing a book titled Reindeer on the Run about global #reindeer conservation for #YaleUniversityPress. It will include 35 of my #linocuts. Here's one: an Icelandic reindeer browsing lichen. #reductionlinocut #printmaking #printsky

Hey, it’s #internationalPolarBearDay! Here’s a polar bear eating a reindeer from my June 2024 #ArcticCircleResidency on Svalbard—where polar bears are thriving because they’ve started hunting #reindeer. #linocut #reductionlinocut #printmaking #printsky

#Linocut #reductionprint of Black guillemots, Hornsund glacier, #Svalbard--from last June's #ArcticCircleResidency. #printmaking #printsky #Arctic

As part of my move from Facebook and Instagram, I'm trying to post a linocut a day. Here's one I did last mont, for neighbors whose wee dog Chelly died after a long and cheeky life (just like his namesake Chelios, the hockey star) #linocut #reductionprint #printmakers #DogsOfBluesky

Michael Healy was an African American sea captain in the Arctic in the 1890s. Horrified by famine among the Inuit because of whalers, he brought over reindeer from Siberia. #linocut #reductionprint #printmakers #thePastWasNotOnlyWhite

For #printpromptMonday #InMotion, here's a leaping mountain hare running through the snowy night #linocut #printmakers #printsky #printmaking

#Reindeer in Svalbard, from my #ArcticCircleResidency in June 2024. #Linocut print. Reindeer are survivors, altering their migration and food choices in order to thrive in a warming Arctic. Wildlife aren't just passive victims of climate change. #printsky #printmaking #printmakers

#Ravens play in the snow by tossing snowballs to each other! #linocut #printmaking #reductionprint #birdsinart

My first Linocut portrait!

#Linocut of Sinrock Mary--the great Changunak Antisarlook Andrewuk--an Iñupiaq woman who fiercely advocated for her people during terrible times from 1894 on. She became the richest woman in Alaska and the Reindeer Queen. I need stories of passion and resistance--stories like hers. #printmaking

Starting a #Linocut of one of my reindeer heros-Changunak Antisarlook Andrewuk, commonly known as Sinrock Mary. She was #Reindeer Queen of Alaska—an Inupiaq woman who herded thousands of reindeer and guided her people during rough times. We need her now.
