This day in 2015 the late Gustav Metzger issued his call for all artists to Remember Nature. Nature hard to forget, tho so damaged, when it puts on a show like this evening's!

Cards, envelopes, stamps. Settling down to prepare for tomorrow's posting for #oneofmanypostcard
Last chance if you would like one - a couple left and when they've gone, they've gone...
If you'd like one, DM me. I'll send it free anywhere in the world and in return ask you to make a donation to a charity of your choice.

One of the stops on my performance walk "Oxford Road Requiem" as part of yesterday's simultaneous, live performances by 20 artists internationally, all #becomingtree I visited ten recent arboricide crime scenes.

Still a few cards left for #oneofmanypostcard if you'd like one - and they've all dried now! Printed from salt marsh vegetation collected at Lindisfarne causeway in Northumberland.
If you'd like one posted to you free of charge DM me with your address. And then, when you receive it, make a donation of what you think it is worth to a charity of your choice. Simples!
They'll be posted out on 3rd November as determined by the 'world king' of the project, @johnapedder . Although, like the UK's own world king in Downing Street, I notice it's one rule for us and another for him as he's already sent his out! And, fingers crossed, 3rd may bring down another would be world king across the water...
Peace & love

Delighted to be included in Issue 3 of Artists Responding To zine out now. My particular rant is about the cavalier way we treat urban trees. They are an essential part of our natural life support systems and greatly improve quality of life. Yet they are treated as being of no value and are murdered at will for development.

Here they are! 30 cards for #oneofmanypostcard project mail out on 3rd November. Each is unique, 210 x 130mm & on Somerset paper.
They are printed from vegetation gathered from brackish lagoons in the salt marsh alongside the Lindisfarne causeway in Northumbria in August. Drying since then, they have been printed on my new etching press in my garage.
Salt marsh habitats are vulnerable to sea level rise, particularly if it is rapid.
If you would like a card free of charge, please DM me with your name and address. In return, I ask you to donate what you think the card is worth to a charity of your choice. When they've gone they've gone! They will be posted out on 3rd November.

Printing with submerged vegetation from salt marsh brackish lagoons at the mainland end of the Lindisfarne causeway.
This habitat, threatened by sea level rise, is the basis for my offering for #oneofmanypostcard project initiated by @johnapedder where small prints are freely given and the recipient pays what they think it is worth to charity of their choice. DM me if you think you'd like one. They'll be sent out on 3rd November.

Brilliant afternoon printing from mud and formerly submerged vegetation from salt marsh lagoons alongside Lindisfarne causeway. Collected back in August and allowed to dry. These are details of the plates. Prints are drying!

Riffing on Paul Klee's monoprint & watercolour technique. Two takes on Louisa Maholy's 1927 portrait with contrasting moods and one on Kandinsky's abstractions.
