The Patron Saint of Brave Faces – Lino Print
During Lockdown I was working in two keyworker jobs which I am still doing. A lot of art has been created by those who were effected by lockdown on the inside of their house, but this was created from the outside point of view, observing those who were only allowed out for essentials and not allowed out at all, but also seeing others who had little care for lockdown at all.
Sometimes in these testing times we put a smile on and find ways of navigating these days even when it’s not how one openly feels, and this is what this Saint/Angel is created for, for those days when it feels like a struggle. I’ve not named her by any particular name, I don’t actually know if any similar exists but now she does in a time when maybe people need her in particularly appreciate the spiritual and sarcasm.
Also available in full colour and with gold details from this shop!

Reverend Dodge Driving a Devil out of the Parish – Lino Print
This image depicts the Rev. Richard Dodge, Parson of Talland in Cornwall, doing what he was famous for. He was parson of Talland from 1713 until he died aged 93 in 1747, and was widely reputed to be able to raise the dead, lay ghosts to rest and he was also believed to be able to exorcise devils from places and used a horsewhip in carrying out these tasks.
People were often fearful of meeting him in the dead of night, as no doubt, a spirit or demon would also be in close range, but it is also believed that he courted these attitudes as he could have been involved with smuggling and wanted to keep the way free to assist the smugglers.
