Gender roles are dead
Rainbow linoprint on paper, hand carved with love 🌈

Today is #Kalevala day.
As such, I thought it would share my Kalevala-themed #linocut prints from 2020.
There's the swan of Tuonela, who swims on the black river, which is the gateway to the world of the dead.
There's Otso, the bear king of the forest.
And there's Ikiturso, a mythological sea monster.

"An Aztec stamp in ceramic representing a spi‑
der monkey dated 14th‑ early‑ 16th century. In Nahuatl, the mon‑
key is called ozomatli and is the eleventh‑day sign of the ancient
Aztec calendar."
This should be made into a #linocut.

Happy birthday Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), #chemist & x-ray #crystallographer whose x-ray diffraction images were instrumental to discovering double-helix structure of #DNA, made important contributions to #carbon & #virus research, was 1 of the great scientists of the 20th century.

a 5x7" linocut block, carved into Carolina wrens and dogwoods.
I miss these buggers nesting in literally anything. You left your boots outside for 24 hours? two nests. Newspaper mailbox? nest.

Happy birthday to French mathematician, physicist and philosopher Marie-Sophie Germain (1776 – 1831), known as Sophie. She taught herself mathematics using books in her father’s library and by corresponding with leading mathematicians of her day, including Lagrange, Legendre and Gauss, initially using the pseudonym Monsieur LeBlanc. Her work on elasticity theory won her the grand prize from the Paris Academy of Sciences. 🧵
