This #EarthDay I see that the Turtle Survival Alliance is launching their 5th Annual Turtle Month so I thought I would share these two prints they commissioned of turtles supporting the Earth featuring endangered turtle species of special focus: one for turtles from North America, and one for turtles from around the world. TSA works to prevent extinctions of these amazing and varied animals worldwide, so I was very glad to make art for this cause! 🧵

My 11” x 14” linocut print shows a stack of various endangered North American turtles supporting the Earth against the blackness of space. Turtles from North America are: 1 - Bog Turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) 2 - Spotted Turtle (Clemmys guttata) 3 - Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) 4 - Diamondback Terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) (female) 5 - Wood Turtle (Glyptemys insculpta) 6 - Alligator Snapping Turtle (Macrochelys temminckii)

Born on this day: #physicist J. R. Oppenheimer (1904-1967). While best remembered for his role in the Manhattan Project, he was a giant of 20th century theoretical physics, nominated for a Nobel 3 times. ⁠
⁠
In 1927 he & Max Born greatly simplified how we predict electrons behaviour within atoms. The Born-Oppenheimer or adiabatic approximation is based on the observation that electrons are 1000s times lighter than nuclei, 🧵1/n

Happy birthday to #geochemist Charles David Keeling (1928 - 2005) whose decades long observations of CO2 in air samples from Mauna Loa Observatory were some of the 1st direct data to show the human contribution to greenhouse effect & global warming. The ‘Keeling Curve’ (in copper & red) shows both the seasonal variations (the wiggles) & the strong upward trend with time as the greenhouse gas built up in the atmosphere. 🧵

My village had a festival so i opened my studio to “the public” for a free #printmaking activity. We repurposed a linen tablecloth, it brought lots of people joy, and these log cabin patches will hopefully be incorporated in future #craft #sewing projects!

That was a lot of fun and a lot of people at once. I’m grateful to get to share what I love with others-and also ready for solitude with books and art supplies. Hope you are having a good weekend!

I got some printmaking stuff for Christmas but I keep trying to make the design too complicated and the blocks haven't been usable, so today I went really simple. There are loads of things "wrong" with it (including a cat hair over the word "love"!) but I absolutely adore it.

A white-edged A4 print with the words "all is love" in white against a blotchy, smeary black background, with a patch of reddish pink around the word "love".

Hope the Easter bunny is good to you!

‘Cottontail in the cosmos’ is a handprinted lino block print on lovely, delicate Japanese paper of a little cottontail rabbit sitting amongst the garden cosmos (also called Mexican aster flowers). The flowers are a mix of white and purple-pink. Each print is 8” by 10” (20.3 cm by 25.4 cm) and printed by hand.

Happy birthday to #biochemist Marie Maynard Daly (1921-2003), 1st Black woman to earn a PhD in #chemistry in the US! She made important research contributions to our understanding of the biochemisty of the cell nucleus & cardiovascular issues & the chemistry of histones & protein synthesis. She established that “no bases other than adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine were present in appreciable amounts” in DNA - 🧵

My linocut portrait of Marie Maynard Daly in purples (she’s a young smiling Black woman, wearing earrings, a necklace and a dress, looking at the viewer over her shoulder). Above her to the right is an anatomical heart with a blowout diagram in a circle of a clogged artery and the cholesterol molecule all in red. Next to her on the left in blue are the molecules of the bases which make up DNA and a diagram of a human cell.
