Another Wood-engraved Feathursday

Here are three birds engraved in wood by members of the Wood Engravers Network (WEN): Spokane, Washington artist Gale Mueller; Cape Cod, Massachusetts printmaker Evan Charney; and Alberta, Canada engraver Jim Westergaard. These images are included in A Calendar of Days, 2011, published in Erin, Ontario by The Porcupine's Quill in 2011 in collaboration with WEN. The calendar includes fifteen reproductions of prints of wood engravings contributed by a variety of artists. The images were proofed letterpress in the traditional manner, then digitized and printed offset on a Heidelberg KORD by Tim Inkster at The Porcupine's Quill, noted for its expertise in using 20th-century offset technology to replicate the appearance of a 19th-century letterpress product.

In light of the recent developments with the aftg pinup calendar I’ve decided I might as well post my art that was made as stickers for the project. (Shout out to @sunriseabram for spreading the info without them i probably wouldn’t have seen what was going on)

Then, too, at sea—to use a homely but expressive phrase—you miss a man so much. A dozen men are shut up together in a little bark, upon the wide, wide sea, and for months and months see no forms and hear no voices but their own, and one is taken suddenly from among them, and they miss him at every turn. It is like losing a limb. There are no new faces or new scenes to fill up the gap. There is always an empty berth in the forecastle, and one man wanting when the small night watch is mustered. There is one less to take up the wheel, and one less to lay out with you upon the yard. You miss his form, and the sound of his voice, for habit had made them almost necessary to you, and each of your senses feels the loss.

—a sailor's diary entry, on losing a shipmate, ca. 1834 (from Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana Jr.)

the way to take the really bizarre and out-there Batman villains and ground them in a “realistic” Batman universe isn’t to change the villains at all. it’s to have Jim Gordon stand on a rooftop and hit his vape hard enough to dampen power from a three block radius and tell Batman “you were the only one we could think to call. there’s some lunatic running around calling himself Condiment King” and Batman just stands there silently on the rooftop taking that in until Jim adds “he put ten people in the hospital with a ketchup gun……somehow” and then hits the vape again. Batman realizes that the GCPD’s unofficial position on this is that the Bat should take out the Condiment King because crazy cancels out crazy, and they’re not entirely wrong. he agrees to help out and Jim brandishes his vape at the Gotham skyline and mumbles something about this being fucking crazy, and that’s it. that’s all you need to do to ground the storyline. every single villain, just like that.

Something something 20yo Daniel being scared shitless of Armand while Armand has the upper hand, keeps putting him down and replying to every plead with "Oh is that what makes you fascinating?"

VS

70yo Daniel being relentless, bitchy, always ready to quip back, immediately investigating Rashid-Armand with where he's from, what does he taste like, how much does he weight, and eventually outsmarting him with that little tip of his glasses like- "This is what makes me fascinating... bitch."
