BREAKING: New York City reports the lowest levels of shootings, shooting victims, and murders ever recorded for the first two months of a year. Major crime is down nearly 8% citywide, burglary hit a record low, and retail theft dropped 25%
Francisco Goya (1746-1828) β Capricho #34 (βSleep overcomes them.β), #35 (βShe fleeces him.β), #36 (βA bad night.β), and #37 (βMight not the pupil know more?β) β etchings with aquatint.
A board on a quayside onto which a piece of paper has been attached which reads: NO PEDESTRIAN ACCESS DUE TO A LARGE SWARM OF BEES!!
They say the reason people cant go onto the quay this week is a swarm of bees. We all know that's bollocks. The real reason is the fisher folk don't want anyone to know they are taking out to sea to pay their tidal tithe with. β Julie Bindon #VOH
If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.
Lynda Sayce plays a piece of lute music that was recently discovered in an archival document at the Museum Plantin-Moretus. Since the handwritten lute tablature was folded and reused as scrap paper, it's problaby the first time in 400 years that this music is heard.
Iβm not sure if our time zones overlap. Will this be recorded? ππ
The Danny Devito Egg In This Trying Time meme, with the egg replaced with one of my prints. Please keep buying prints from artists. They're probably less expensive than US eggs at this point. #Art #ArtSky
Artists as the world economy crumbles around us
A4, 2 colour risograph print I did, in Bright Red and Federal Blue. Depicts a bowl of red soup with alphabet letters that say "Eat Up Bitch." At the top of the page, it says "Soup of the Day."
Another A4, 2 colour risograph print I did, in Bright Red and Federal Blue.

A facade of a beautifully renovated traditional Maltese house with a contemporary approach. A dark green car is parked in front of the house, and the green of the car compliments the matte sage green of the front door and garage door.
Spotted walking the dog. Wish Iβd had a long lens with me.
An A3, 3 colour risoprint of 4 lovehearts that individually say "Spank me," "Eat Shit," "Fuck Off," and "Get Lost." The Lovehearts are pink, orange and yellow with red text.
A3, 3 colour cheeky risoprint I had done a while ago.

"I want to keep boycotting Amazon, but I also want to support indie authors. How do I do that?"
Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.
Costa Rica has massively rewilded over recent decades. Has this led to the collapse of farming, rural society, or national wellbeing?
Totally the opposite, and we in Ireland have SO much to learn from their example. My piece for the @irishexaminer.bsky.social

Genuinely, your prints are fantastic! Moneyβs a bit tight for a lot of people sadly.
Chin up, Iβm wishing you every success π»
How does anyone start a new business?? Or buy a riso printer???
Text of a clause from a grant application basically saying you canβt apply for cofunding from anywhere else if you apply for this grant.
After spending months writing my business grant application to buy a riso printer and open a shopβ¦.i just realized that thereβs a teeny tiny clause that I might not be able to because the grant is only 10k, and a whole ass riso business is a lot more than thatβ¦

A farmed, 2 colour linoprint in red on fluoroescent pink of 2 shrimp circling each other.
Had made this 2 colour shrimp linoprint to go with the crab and lobster print I posted previously.
All my immediate family members are born in July, so I made a set of crustacean prints for them.

A linoprint of a dead fish in black ink on top of a rolled out, neon pink rectangle.
I need to do more simple prints like this, with a really popping background colour, and a dark print for contrast. This was carved into some really crumbly rubber.

Blue A3 linoprint of a cat surrounded by a circle of flowers and leaves, with one eye squinting.
This is an A3 linoprint I had made of my family cat Kishka, who sadly passed away of cat flu a few years ago. She was the funniest, feral thing on four legs (and I was her favourite, but you didn't hear it from me.)

A neon orangeey pink screenprint of a lucky cat giving a βrock onβ hand gesture with the text GOOD LUCK BAD LUCK framing it. Itβs holding a yen coin that says βBetter luck next time.β
This is the first screenprint Iβve ever made! I miss screenprinting sooooo much, but I just havenβt had the time to get my studio set up started

Thank you! And yes, itβs amazing to see so many printmakers in one place π₯Ή
Thank you!! I LOVE to print with neon!!
I know I have many dreams and these often change with the winds, but I would love to start a printing kulturhus in Malta. All kinds of printing, with a little attached cafe of course, because what historically goes better together than the spread of information and coffee house culture??
and yep, I had to delete the previous post because I forgot to put the hashtag ^^"
Finally trying to get my bsky acc off the ground!
I'm Michelle, and I'm a Previz artist by day and a printmaker by night! I love to do all kinds of printing, from lino, to silkscreen to riso!
I'm also the founder of PrintFest CPH and am trying to open a risoprint shop in Malta!

I would love to be in Printmakers 3! Still getting my Bluesky set up :)
Went for a hike foraging for asparagus today, and found some beautiful borage. We used to make a cough medicine out of it.
Using a layer of felt will help not damage the paper from the pressure of pushing down, but I didnβt even know those presses could be adjusted! I had a woodzilla one, I donβt think it ever mentioned something like that. I just used to see vids of pressing down as hard as they could.
