screenshot from Wikipedia: The birthday effect (sometimes called the birthday blues, especially when referring specifically to suicide) is a statistical phenomenon where an individual's likelihood of death appears to increase on or close to their birthday. The birthday effect has been seen in studies of general populations in England and Wales,[1] Switzerland,[2][3] Ukraine,[4] and the United States,[5][6] as well as in smaller populations such as Major League Baseball players.

I’m printing the last of this edition and will have them at St. Johns Bizarre on May 9. These are printed using 2 blocks - one in white ink (the floral pattern in the wash) and one in black (heron). I do a watercolor wash over the oil-based ink which acts as a subtle resist.

A full size pickup with a trailer attached is sunk up to its axles in mud at the side of a road.

Vermont’s dirt roads are a cherished part of its landscape and history. According to the Vermont Agency of Transportation, about 55% of the state’s roads are unpaved. Mud Season reminds us of the ongoing effort required to maintain them and why preserving rural infrastructure is essential.

Indivisible's volunteer graphics person: AI, surround the speakers with really patriotic frogs and have people holding up their phones as if they're really into what they're watching. AI: Ok! Is what they're watching what's also right in front of them? Volunteer graphics person: Nah.

Wetland friends in the sketchbook for dry media that I insist on torturing with wet stuff.

Sketchbook spread of a stylized landscape. It’s a loose interpretation of a wetland on the edge of a forest using watercolor crayons and ink. There are stylized animals interspersed, a wolf, a squirrel, an owl, and two ravens.

A sketchbook doodle day.

A sketchbook spread of doodles: on the left page is a dog, a sun and moon, some trees. On the right side a stylized landscape of tall trees in the foreground, a raven on top of one of the trees, and the sun coming up over a mountain.

Back to sketch book practice with the goal of loosening up.

A colored pencil sketch of a young mule deer with small antlers. It’s very sketchy and loose, rendered in large messy pencil strokes in greens, browns, and blacks.

The forest critters are gathering. They're done with grief and heaviness. They've been collecting matches and sharpening sticks, but they're also restoring marshes and tearing down dams. WIP, but thought I'd post it for NYE. Stay safe, you are needed.

An illustration in a flat, graphic style of a group of animals. A fox, a rabbit, two goldfinches, and a squirrel emerge from a dark oval and there are oak leaves and acorns and thistle. The center of the oval is a dark blue and a bright orange circle, implying a sun, peeps out from the top of the oval.

Printed a fresh batch of coyotes.

A black and white letterpress printed illustration of a stylized coyote with its nose tilted toward a black starry sky and one paw lifted. There is the impression of a hill behind the coyote, and around its hind legs and tail there are oversized stalks of grain. Four of the same print are layered on one another informally.

Definitely aware they were being watched. They had A CHILD with them, the fucks. This is the truck they rolled up in.

I couldn't not see it.

They're kneeling across from each other and she's looking sweetly at him while he looks down shyly. The bottom photo is a still from Rocky Horror Picture show.

More of what they're sharing in public.

CALLING ALL PATRIOTS! We will be doing a counter march to the “No Kings” “Protest” in Portland this Saturday.

We will meet at Lownsdale Square in between 11am and 12pm.
Then we will march as a group toward the “No Kings” protest.
We need to stay as a group as much as possible. These people are violent and want to silence your voice!
These “No Kings” “Protesters are meeting at Pioneer Square, we will march towards them in a group.

I really wanted to finish a #birdwhisperer drawing this month but I only got as far as the sketch.

Trying more paint in the sketchbook. Retreating to the more graphic style I’m comfortable with so I can focus on getting a handle on the materials and using some color. I still did too much. At the same time, not enough.

Squirrel 🏴@therabbitwood· Aug 12

Must emphasize that I’m not a painter and I haven’t played with materials in years, but I want to loosen up & also figure out how to use color better. I stick to very graphic b&w forms mostly and am trying to break free! Posting for daily-ish accountability to self, lol, lmao.

Painting in a small sketchbook of a goldenrod crab spider in shades of white, off-white, and pink. It’s centered on the page surrounded by disconnected echinacea flower petals and the “cone” of the flower painted too large and sloppily.

I was looking up as I passed these trees on an evening walk yesterday because I often see bats on this stretch at dusk. I think these are awesome in the literal sense. I'm pretty sure this is a bald-faced hornet's nest. They have a bad reputation but will leave you alone if you're not a threat.

An incredible brown wasps nest hanging from a green leafy tree branch. It's a little larger than a basketball and layered with very textured fiber. There are four holes in the nest where the wasps come in and out. A wasp is peaking out of the largest, topmost hole.

Posting a slightly adjusted version of my new logo to see how it looks on different platforms. If anything seems unbalanced I'm still fussing with it.

I have a tentative logo and banner thing for my new business name! I've not made any formal announcements, and I'm rolling through this transition slowly. My website is still Tiger Food Press, until further notice, if you need to find me.

I should take more progress photos and start showing what I’m working on, I’m just way out of the habit. So here’s some stuff: screen printed napkins and table runners!

A tan piece of linen fabric with some black stylized ravens printed on it lies on a table. The hems are pinned for sewing. There is a pin cushion and an iron on the table as well. In the background there is another table with a sewing machine, some stacked fabrics, and a cat.

A sneake is started.

A black and white pen and ink drawing in its early stages of a ringneck snake on translucent layout paper. You can see the snake’s head and the top part of its S-shaped body. The snake’s tongue is visible, it is forked at the tip and there’s a small black flame emerging from the fork. The layout paper is laying on top of a pencil sketch and you can see the details of the scales that are being traced in ink from the sketch beneath it.

This feels wildly out of touch and ignorant of what’s actually going down on the ground. newrepublic.com/article/1963...

Those with the clearest view are the ones bearing the brunt of such attacks. Whether it’s the sheriffs, police, or Border Patrol, “it was brutal violence,” said Ron Gochez, a community organizer, who was part of the protests. “What they didn’t think was going to happen was that the people would resist.” Over eight hours on Saturday, he said, after a battle with Border Patrol—“and it was a battle, because there were people throwing back tear gas, people throwing anything that they could to defend themselves and to defend the workers that were being surrounded”—the Border Patrol retreated. “And the hundreds of workers that were in the factories around them were able to escape,” Gochez recounted. “They were able to go to their cars and go home. That was only thanks to the resistance that allowed them to go home that night.” If any community was going to fight back without apology, it was this one.
