I made a linocut from sketch to carved in one day

The other day, I sat down to work at 2:30pm, feeling guilty about starting my work day so late. I got into the flow state for the first time in a while though, and next thing I knew, it was almost 11. In two sittings (took a break to eat dinner), I went from sketch to totally carved print.

It got me thinking about how I always feel guilty for starting later in the day, although I still do plenty of work. It's not like there's anything wrong with having a schedule that's not 9-5, especially when my most productive hours are mid-afternoon. Also I know I shouldn't feel like I need to do 8 hours of work daily, but hey that's what I get for growing up with a workaholic dad.

But more so it made me a bit introspective about the whole process of artmaking. Like, in the span of about 8 hours, I created something that otherwise wouldn't exist. It's such a basic but overwhelming idea. That I sat down, took an idea I had, and made it into something physical. I often think about why I make things- because I love the process of printmaking and learning- but I don't often think about the bigger picture of being able to transform something as abstract and far from reality as a thought into something that can be observed, held, and shared. Even trying to put the feeling into words doesn't feel like it can do it justice. It feels like something ethereal, made more amazing by the idea that anybody can create something. I guess it makes perfect sense that something so foundational to being a human would also make me feel so connected to myself and the universe.

Anyway, here's the linoleum carving and it printed on fabric and newsprint :)

Tim Fleming had a mother? I was beginning to think he was some kind of aberration; like he was an alien foundling who just showed up one day.

But yes, dear Heartland fans: Tim Fleming was indeed born of a woman, born on Earth (we can safely assume), and regrets not spending more time with her when he was younger when she was diagnosed with dementia.

And we get this little nugget after 18 seasons of knowing nothing about Tim’s origins.

After. 18. Seasons.

The humpback figure with a handprint above its head is likely the Humpback God Ghaan'ask'idii, known for his trademark hump that radiates eagle feathers. The hump is thought to contain seeds and mist. He is portrayed as a deified mountain sheep (note the horns)."

For in this world where everything wears out, where everything perishes, there is one thing that collapses and is more completely destroyed than anything else, and leaves fewer traces than beauty itself: and that is grief.

Whumptober2024 Day 11: “Leave no trace behind, like you don't even exist.”

In order to protect his family, Minharh had to erase any suggestion or proof of his hidden identity - that he is Sa'a Kindall, and he survived a fire that some people hadn't wanted him to survive.

It's a secret that must be kept until the truth of what happened with that fire can come to light.
