Dr Theobald the Rat Plague Doctor – Linoprint
Based on the characters of Montol Festival’s guise guild of quack doctors, The Splendid League of Physicians, most of whom are known as Dr. Theobald. Found within the tricorn of Dr Theobald Ph.D, the founder, is a small rat wearing his own tricorn and beaked mask. The Splendid League of Physicians is an equal opportunities employer and that young Dr. Theobald, here, happens to be a rat serves to stop the black death almost at the root of the problem. Here he has been immortalised with his robe, physicians’ cane and doctors’ bag.

The Merrie Frolicks of Rat Racing
I am very inspired by the look of the plague doctor. So much so in fact I also make masks, and part of Montol involves groups of similarly dressed people in guilds roaming the streets of Penzance on the 21st December every year and entertaining people at the various pubs they stop in. I have made a guild of quack doctors who play music, and add comedy to the evening, with out dated and terrifying cures and questionable sick notes for those who wish to stay in bed the following day. We also have a guise beast called Ratael, a sort of mutant plague-ridden Obby Oss in the form of a rat.
All except two of the members of the guild are called Dr. Theobald, and this fellow is taking part in a race, riding a gigantic rat, in a World Turned Upside Down.

Season’s Beatings – Black and White – Krampus – Gruß vom Krampus –
Have you been naughty or nice this year? You will know which should this fellow head your way, a lump of coal is the mildest punishment, a thrashing with a bundle of sticks let’s you know that thing you did was pretty bad, a ride in the basket shows that thing was truly unforgivable and you should prepare yourself for being feasted upon by St Nicholas’ hellish companion, the Krampus.
An Alpine Christmas figure of the devil variety, this one eats really naughty kids and serve as a deterrent for bad behaviour, a house visit from the Christmas saint and devil or parades still happen in areas of Austria, German and the Alps.
More colour combinations are on the way, red ink on white paper, black ink on red paper, gold ink on black paper and other possibilities! Krampus is a way of life, so please bare with me for these variations.

Fire in the Hole – Devil and Sinner – Limited Edition Lino Print
Bit warm up here on the planes of Earth isn’t it?
I just can’t seem to depict the more popular images of beaches, fishing boats, and the refreshing sea, so I’ve got a devil firing a sinner into the inferno from a cannon, using his own unholy farts to light the fuse.

September’s End – Limited Edition – Lino print Original
Legend has it that when Michael cast the Devil out of Heaven, he landed backside first into a blackberry bush. This incident is the root of the superstition that Blackberries should be plucked and eaten before the 29th September (known as Michaelmas) as any left hanging from the thorny stems following this date are defiled by the Devil in the form of him spitting upon the, placing his foot on them or in this case by passing water over them, in memorial rage at his sore landing.

Sphynx Cat Geometric Goddess Occult LinoPrint in Turquoise/Teal and Gold
It’s been a while since I made a design especially for me as I had a few commissions on, and after a bit of searching through some motifs in the brain storage, I designed this piece. Using alchemical motifs, and lunar goddess imagery and originating as a line drawing, I carved this design onto a lino block and will be working with a few colour schemes, I will also make Turquoise/teal with gold outer halo, turquoise/teal mono, black and gold, black mono, red and gold and full colour. PLEASE NOTE: I am currently pretty much printing to order so there maybe a week in production before posting.

The Witch – Full Colour Lino Print – Hand Coloured – Gold –
Inspired by the old woodcuts depicted the shenanigans of the sorts of witches found in old chapbooks, but coloured using similar colours found in illuminated manuscripts, with lustrous gold details. Surrounded by many eyes, possibly of spirits, familiars or supernatural agents. This was great fun to do, and is fairly dinky but striking.
Please be aware colours may differ slightly to this digital image.

All except two of the members of the guild are called Dr. Theobald, and this fellow examines the stars from his tower to inform the other doctors if planets are aligning in a particular manner as a warning of plague. A very, very, very former Dr. Theobald has donated his body for medical research in the background.

La Bruja – Black and White – Limited Edition – Witch Lino print
Inspired by historical imagery of witches and demons frolicking together, with illuminated manuscripts as another source of inspiration, I also like modern captures of unusual things caught on film, whether real or not or hereby unexplained, a video of something that looks like a stereotypically historical depiction of a witch caught my imagination and spurred on this image. As this video referred to what was captured in Spanish, “La Bruja”, I kept the title.
Also available in full colour.
