Ele Willoughby, PhD<p>New edition of fireflies coming soon! </p><p>This <a href="https://spore.social/tags/linocut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linocut</span></a> block print shows 3 fireflies (Photinus pyralis, the common eastern firefly or big dipper firefly) in a field against the night sky. These bioluminescent insects are the most common firefly in N America, &amp; they use the light organ on their abdomen to signal potential mates leaving their tell-tale trail of a j-shaped flash pattern. Hence the common name “big dipper firefly”.</p><p><a href="https://spore.social/tags/printmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>printmaking</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/insect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insect</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/bioluminescence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bioluminescence</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/firefly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>firefly</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/sciart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sciart</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/mastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastoArt</span></a></p>

We’ve begun to hear the cicadas again and I am reminded of my print.

This is a small handmade linocut print of a large, well-loved, well-known insect with a long song. The Tibicen canicularis, also known as dogday harvestfly or dog-day cicada, is common in North America and its power-saw like buzzing song is taken as a sign of summer. 🧵1/2

This #linocut shows an obstinacy of buffalo in all senses of the words. The collective noun for a group of buffalo is a "obstinacy". Clearly, these are hard-headed beasts. These ones have drawn a line in the sand. I dare you to cross it. Technically, these are American bison (Bison bison), known colloquially in North America as 'buffalo'. These mighty beasts were once obiquitous across the Great Plains. 🧵1/2

Just emerging from a lull both of making and also of sharing what was already made. Working through that now. Here's a piece, inspired by a brief, quiet moment that a drummer had on stage, before the rest of the band assembled to start checking their instruments.

Utagawa Hiroshige (Japanese, 1797–1858). New Year's Eve Foxfires at the Changing Tree, Oji, No. 118 from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, 9th month of 1857. Woodblock print, sheet: 14 3/16 x 9 1/4 in. (36.0 x 23.5 cm); image: 13 3/8 x 8 3/4 in. (34.0 x 22.2 cm), this impression in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum. #arthistory #asianart #woodblock #woodblockprint #printmaking

From the museum: “In the late 1850s, while Japanese color prints were dominated by themes of the fantastic, Hiroshige emphasized the realities of the observed world in his work. However, here he has ventured into the world of spirits. It was believed that on New Year's Eve all the foxes of the surrounding provinces would gather at a particular tree near Oji Inari Shrine, the headquarters of the regional cult of the god Inari. There the foxes would change their dress for a visit to the shrine, where they would be given orders for the coming year. On the way, the animals would emit distinctive flames by which local farmers were able to predict the crops of the coming year.”

Continued thread

they use the light organ on their abdomen to signal potential mates leaving their tell-tale trail of a j-shaped flash pattern. Hence the common name "big dipper firefly". Their twilight glow and flashing light can look quite magical!

These prints are glow-in-the-dark!

Sold out but perhaps it’s time for a new edition?

Happy birthday to Dolly the sheep 🐑 ! Dolly, the female sheep born 5 July 1996, was a trailblazer. She was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer. This print is one of a kind lino cut with chine collé (collaged rainbow of Japanese kozo #washi papers) & the words “Hello Dolly!” in black, on cream coloured Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.⁠

Happy birthday to #astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt (1868-1921) who set the scale of our Universe. My portrait of Leavitt is printed in silvery lavender ink on Japanese kozo (or mulberry paper). Behind her is a line showing stellar luminosity (capital L with subscript sun-symbol, a circle with a dot) as a function of time (t). She is printed over constellations in gold (Cepheus, Cassiopeia, Draco, 🧵

Un monotype fait hier dont je suis assez fier.
Ça devait juste être une étude rapide pour une future gravure, mais ça se tient pas mal en tant que tel.
Et si j'en fais une gravure un jour je doute de réussir des effets de texture aussi chouettes.

Happy birthday to #physicist Harriet Brooks (1876 - 1933) who discovered atomic recoil, Radon & recognized radioactive elements could undergo chains of transmutations into a series of new elements. #nuclear #physics

She was Rutherford’s 1st grad student at McGill. After publishing her results in 1899 she completed her MSc in 1901 on “Damping of Electrical Oscillations,” before embarking on #radioactivity research.⁠ 🧵
