This morning; ‘Arcadia’ OST. The documentary is an enthralling and unnerving ramble through Britain’s seasons and customs by way of the BFI National Archive. The music fuses foreboding synths, electronica and choral elements with traditional folk music including Anne Briggs.
The latest edition of @wyrdscience.bsky.social magazine has arrived featuring another of my linocut covers. Self-publishing is challenging these days but John has put out 6 beautiful magazines dedicated to board games and RPGS and I’m grateful he let me come along for the ride. Cheers John.
‘Reynardine’ linocut print. This was originally carved and printed for my #BLOCTOBER series but will feature in ‘Singing Up the Sun’ (via @unbounders ). Well over half the illustrations for the book will be created in the coming months.
Folk horror linocut bunting! You didn’t ask for it but I made it anyway! Includes #BLOCTOBER classics like Hand of Glory alongside fresh new horrors like Harvest of Sorrow! Perfect for weddings, funerals, baby showers and any occasion where loads of weird folk gather. 🌾🌞💀
Folklore walks across borders, flows over thresholds. It's found everywhere we live. It is exchanged in pub, post office and bus queue. Many churches hold its glorious wooden bestiaries – though even the best carvers of old failed to tame its living spirit. – Dr. M. Benn
