The Scream of the Green Man. #magpiesketches #greenman

Rowan Birken - the Green Man. (I had my post modern Olympus last year, seems like another post modern deity is on the way.) #magpiesketches #thegreenman

people will tell you it’s complicated but it’s really not

Cycles. (Always had this specific imagery come to mind when listening to Perfume and Milk by F+tM.) #magpiesketches #florenceandthemachine #linoprint #linocut

Baby blue. (More paint studies, messing with blue paper as an overall background shade.) #magpiesketches

The Overseer. (A tarot styles piece of a common sight for me: black cats along the heavily littered railroad beds aside the train tracks. A modern spiritual witness to the dichotomy of human development.) #magpiesketches

Cernunnos. A redesign of a deity of Celtic theology, dubbed the Horned One and guessed to be a patron of the wild and the taming of the wild. Stag-headed deities are common in Europe and UK yet Christianity’s spread and dislike of pagan ways caused… #magpiesketches #linocut #linoprint

Girl Least Likely. #magpiesketches

Self portrait. (Got a bunch of acrylic paint pens, a new game changer for me. XD) #magpiesketches

Monolyth. (Had a visual in my head of a Stonehenge made of old mobile phones - the tech what some already call ‘ancient’.) #magpiesketches #linoprint #linocut

Yearly level up and new crafting skills unlocked. :) #magpiesketches

Sympathy Magic. (Honestly that F+tM song was made for Kristen Applebees!) #magpiesketches #fantasyhigh #dimension20 #kristenapplebees

The Child of Rage and Innocence. (A piece I was tempted to get back into my Fine Art studio practice days and make an actual painting of. My version of the art god Apollo is struggling to make something new when haunted by the past and the future…) #magpiesketches #apollo

Make Contact. (Not my usual art as some would expect, but one that I needed to get out. It first started with me messing with anti-ai symbolism, and the visual of that stupid diamond star stabbing a brain as a mind killer reminded me of the Brain of Mensis from Bloodborne…) #magpiesketches #antiai

Honey. (More biro studies) #magpiesketches

Magazine pencil studies. #magpiesketches

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

Starling. (Biggest linocut yet, and probably my first rushed linocut- I had to get the idea down fast! XD) #magpiesketches #linocutprint #starling

Witch Dance. #magpiesketches #witchdance

Red-head. (Another extra biro study.) #magpiesketches

Verdigris Queen. (multi-colour biro study.) :) #magpiesketches

Crayon studies. (I bought one of those multi-lead pens containing 8 crayons and decided to try using it for rough portrait studies. I think they turned out well all things considered.) #magpiesketches

Great thread

You didn’t see me, just another drunken groupie, So when your hand reached out, I just pushed you further down. Well, do you see me now? (Kraken - Florence + the Machine.) #magpiesketches #florenceandthemachine #kraken

Happy New Year. 🎉 Here’s hoping this one is kinder.

The Art vs. The Artist - 2025 editions. (Been an interesting year for sure, one that’s made me discover a lot more about myself and the world I’d like to make for myself and the ones I love. It’s definitely reawakened the magpie in me.) :) #magpiesketches #artvsartist2025

All the Pretty Lights. (However you celebrate, celebrate with wonder.) #magpiesketches #happyholidays #ocs

Hair issues. (Random doodle about cutting my own hair. Done it for a couple years now, and kinda kept a consistent style all that time. I call it ‘well, I tried’.) #magpiesketches

(We’re back! I’ll be taking part in Sketchmas this year, raising money for Stand With Trans. Donation links will be available closer to the 14th December.) :) #magpiesketches #sketchmas #thankmas

Dream spaces. (I’ve had a sketchbook by my bedside I’ve filled with random doodles of locations I can remember from reoccurring dreams. These ones I’ve ended up refining. I think I’m starting to understand why liminal space appeals to me.) #magpiesketches

Treasure Planet was released 23 years ago today... and literally takes us off in this magnificent shot. ✨

Today is the day! Make some phone calls to Visa and Mastercard if youre able to and keep it going as much as you can muster until monday!

Clovers, roses & dandelions. (Getting the hang of linocuts slowly but surely.) #magpiesketches #linocutprints #linocuts

Queen shit

The Magpie Nest dealing with workplace issues. ('Goblins' are technically elves, and deserve to be treated as such by other fellow elves.) #magpiesketches #aetherborne #ocs
