I recently started doing some physical artwork for the first time in many years, a Rothschild's Silk Moth (Rothschildia lebeau ssp. forbesi) linocut print.

People know me for spiders and moths, so I decided to bring that to printmaking. This was my second linocut ever. A spider was my first of course, you will see that soon.

The design is based on my photo, with some initial help from AI converting to line art, though I ended up significantly redoing and modifying it to get the moth's details accurate in a way I could successfully carve.

There was a magnificent silk #moth "resting" on our steel bridge this morning. Turns out it was mating with a second moth that was beneath the bridge. It took them an impressively long time. Note the glorious eyespots on its hindwings.
