Ok, thank you. Will have a ponder :)

QueenHare @queenhare.bsky.social · Jun 3

Do the artists post them straight to the bidder, or do we send them to you first?

(Basically wondering if I could do a paper mache mask, or if a folklore print would just be easier all round postage wise)

Is it specifically just postcard art (guessing from the Google form)?

Pimsleur's the only thing that works for me too (and I can often get it in CD form from the library here, otherwise couldn't afford it).

Paul Noble is a similar method with a bit more explaining of the whys, which I like. And that's on Spotify.

Probably the same guy who handed this job advert in to us at the bookshop and explained it at length...

He was so calm and considered-sounding that it was only about a minute in to the explanation that I realised nothing he was saying made any sense whatsoever.

Be a volunteer in a security company against crime and staying at home with all the industrial cooking machines.
Against industrial drugs and organic cannibis drugs in the people's communities.
Against loud outdoor speaker systems high pitched cause irritations confusions and loss of private lies... etc

Just a reminder that the deadline for responding to the govt's AI consultation is the 25th.

If you care about writers, artists, and musicians, or have an opinion about how AI companies are wanting to ride roughshod over people's livelihoods, do find a moment to fill it in.

ALCS @alcs.co.uk · Feb 4

The Government is considering allowing AI companies to freely use your works, unless you opt-out. This is unfair and unworkable.

Now is your chance to tell them what you think! Submit a response to their AI consultation using the guidance below.

Ah, that reminds me to give them a listen, thank you!

Ooh, what a great idea!

I tried the cream softcut lino for the first time for this cat print.

Interesting to work with! I like the bite of a tougher lino, but I'll definitely try this stuff again in future.

A red lino roller pauses over a part-inked linocut of a tuxedo cat with bat wings.

Aw boo, hope you get one!

My wallet would appreciate it if I wasn't always tempted by the pretty special edition books, but... I am 😅

First couple of test pulls of my #cat / little monster lino print. Haven't decided what to do with the base/shadow yet.

Two linoprint prints of a tuxedo cat sitting bright eyed, with a vampire-toothed smile and two black bat wings emerging from his shoulders. A little black heart hovers over his head.

Oh no- the offer isn't on signed/special editions, was it that one? I'd have thought it'd work on the normal ed.

Also they say they only take payment at the point of dispatch, not at the time of ordering, in the FAQs if that helps..

Not quite as bad as various relations who would refer to "our Boris" a couple of years ago :-p

Happy Sunday from me and a cat who does NOT want me to go near that hoover.

A very grumpy looking cat (ears back, frows furrowed, as much as a cat can) glowers at the camera and stands across the tube of a hoover which is lying on a wooden floor.

Working on something new today...

A little angelic (demonic?) cat linoprint, because my little visiting friend is absolutely both.

#CatArt
#ArtSky

A linoprint carving in progress: an alert cat with bat-like wings and a heart above his head. The carved grooves of the lino are filled with white powder to make them more visible.

#WorkInProgress test print of a little Whittlesea Straw Bear linoprint block.

Working my way through local East Anglia folklore and customs.
