Some valentines from yesteryear:
💌 my thermochromic Valentine reveals the message “you warm my heart” if you place your hand upon it
💌 my brain linocut for all your zombie, neuroscientist, or anatomist valentines
💌 then for the cephalopod lovers we have 3-hearted octopus and heart cockles

Hope you’re feeling loved wherever you are. I made some silly cards with terrible puns for my husband and son today. minouette.etsy.com/listing/164

My square linocut image of a brain with the words “Thinking of you” in black and a pinky red background cut with white hearts (and a few pink hearts on the brain)My linocut shows three heart cockles (Corculum cardissa) with the words, “You warm the cockles of my heart”. Each 6.5” x 8” print is hand printed on Japanese paper. The cockles are viewed from the side so they look like hearts and have varied patterns in two tints of coral pink (spots, concentric stripes with wavy patterns and splotches around the edge of the heart shape).Two side by side images of a thermochromic valentine in its warm and cool state, on a vertical rectangular cream coloured washi paper. At the top in red ink they read “PLACE YOUR”. In the middle in pink ink is the outline of a hand with a heart in its palm. At the bottom reads “HERE” in red. On the left in the cool state the hand is covered in pink thermochromic ink. On the right in the warm state the hand is uncovered because the ink turns colourless and reveals the message on the heart: “you warm my” and a heart icon.My small vertical rectangle print on pink cardstock with a silver sheen has a non-opaque printed white rectangle with words carved to reveal “I’d give you all 3 of my hearts” as well as three hearts, being held by a purple octopus

Happy birthday to #mathematician Johann Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet (13 February 1805 – 5 May 1859)! My lino block print illustrates the famous mathematical tool known as the pigeonhole principle, which states that if n items are put into m containers, with n > m, then at least one container must contain more than one item. You can imagine a bunch, call it m, pigeonholes and n pigeons, where n > m; 🧵

My linocut print of the Pigeonhole Principle shows Dirichlet in blue, a bearded man with heavy brow, wearing a suit with arms crossed, looking a bit cross. Behind him is a bank of pigeonholes in a gradient of blue to gold. Each one contains one or two pigeons in black on grey with turquoise and violet markings. The pigeonholes may extend infinitely in all directions - the shelves appear to go on beyond the 4 x 7 array of pigeonholes shown.

Microbiologists had been struggling to make identical geometrical configurations of microbes on multiple plates, until Esther & Joshua successfully implemented their simple solution to replica plating, inspired by the powder puff in her makeup compact & the print shop: pressing a plate of bacterial colonies onto sterile velvet & stamping them onto secondary plates!

For #printerSolstice2526 prompt 2: my #linocut of trailblazing #microbiologist Esther Lederberg (née Zimmer, 1922-2007) who made discoveries fundamental to modern understanding of bacterial gene regulation, recombination & exchange, but her work was both overshadowed by & sometimes misattributed to her male collaborators. Her contributions include the first successful implementation of replica plating (with her 1st husband, Nobel laureate Joshua Lederberg) … 🧵

My lino block print shows a portrait of a woman in indigo, Esther Lederberg, with curly short hair in a 1940s hairdo, lab coat with collar and gloves, holding a Petri dish vertically in each hand in front of her. Each Petri dish in bronze has the same pattern of marks. She is surrounded by silvery green E. coli bacteria of exaggerated size, several which are being attacked by bacteriophages. Both lysis (phages reproducing inside cells, then exploding out of cells) and lysogeny (genetic material indicated by gold section of tangle of DNA is quietly integrated into that of the cell). The plasmid shown in some but not all E.coli alludes to the bacterial fertility factor F.

The giant tortoises which thrived on the islands, and the variations in species from island to island were instrumental to his thinking, when he later wrote “On the origin of species” which divulged his understanding of biological evolution.

I like the irreverent image of Darwin on the stately, ancient tortoises, but don’t try this at home kids! Tortoises are not for surfing.

Sublimer. Französisches Verb, im Sinne von verfeinern, aufwerten, veredeln. In meinem Sinne das Aktuelle verbessern, weiterentwickeln, ins Bessere umformen. Nichts ist so endgültig, dass es nicht in edlere Form gebracht werden kann. Sinn des Lebens ist das Gute zu finden. Sei Sublimer.
Das Stückchen Kunst kannst Du kaufen:

Sublimer. French verb, meaning to refine, enhance, ennoble. In my sense, to improve the present, develop it further, transform it into something better. Nothing is so final that it cannot be brought into a more noble form. The meaning of life is to find goodness. Be a sublimer.

Linocut map of the Solent, with places of interest to the Solent Seascape Project: the Isle of Wight, Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, Hayling Island, Selsey Bill, and the saltmarshes of Chichester. The edges of the map are a seascape of their own, with waves and a sea monster, and a guitarist and cat in a boat with sail marked RW 2025. Top left we see sun, stormclouds, wind, rain, & seabirds - so much beauty in that small corner! Artwork by Angela Harding, to accompany songs by Richard Walters.

Working on my next print for the #PrinterSolstice2526 prompt: two. I have a theme of replication and the place printmaking and science intersect for this one. 👩🏼‍🔬🧪🐡#histsci This microbiologist put her experience working in her father’s print shop in her youth to work, when she (and her more famous husband) developed replica plating, an invaluable tool in their field, still used today. 🧵

My green Lino block in progress shows a partially carved portrait of a woman with curly short hair in a 1940s hairdo, shirt with collar and gloves, holding a Petri dish vertically in each hand in front of her. There’s a small carving gauge on my block.

Ciao Mondo.
Avanzavano il cartone della scatola degli #orociok - ma non il contenuto come puoi ben immaginare - un #narvalo stampato in #linoleografia e delle #ecolinebrushpen che era un sacco di tempo che non usavo.

Dimmi se ti piace e se lo metteresti da qualche parte.

Mit Material und Bedeutung spielen, so zu tun als hätte man alles geplant, über sich selbst erstaunt sein, Freuen über Entstandenes und gespannt sein auf Zukünftiges - die Zauberwelt des Kunstschaffens. Eine Bewegung zwischen Taumel und Tanz. Erklären wie was erstellt wurde, verwandelt Zauber in Handwerk. Dance Baby! Dance!

Playing with materials and meaning, pretending that everything was planned, being amazed at oneself, celebrating what has been created and looking forward to what is yet to come – the magical world of art. A movement between dizziness and dance. Explaining how something was created transforms magic into craftsmanship. Dance baby! Dance!
