For the #Spacetober_challenge day 23 prompt space station I made a tiny linocut print of the track of the ISS across the night sky.

Luckily this is a sparsely populated area of Siberian taiga, but it’s estimated that 80 million trees were flattened.

This is my wee little asteroid linocut (on paper 4” x 4” with 2” x 2” printed area).

Fun fact: Asteroid Day was co-founded by astrophysicist/rock musician Dr Brian May of Queen.

Enjoy a wee rat mini linocut for World Rat Day (invented by pet rat enthusiasts to challenge any rat stigma). They do actually make great pets.

For today’s #Spacetober prompt EVA, or extra-vehicular activity I made a tiny astronaut on a spacewalk linocut. It’s printed on shiny paper with a pearlescent sheen.

Day 12: Reaper
Another little Memento Mori, when I do these they are only 8x8cm so very fiddly and really make me consider what I can achieve in a small space.

June 30 is Asteroid Day to raise awareness of opportunities and risks posed by asteroids, their role in the formation of our solar system, their impact in space resources and importance of protecting Earth from impact.

For the #printerSolstice prompt split complimentary I was reminded of an animal that is fuchsia, indigo & yellow. So I made some wee little prints of a strange & beautiful creature, the fuchsia flatworm (Pseudoceros ferrugineus) from the tropical Indo-Pacific. Their gorgeous colours are aposematic - a warning to predators that they are not worth eating. So they can crawl around & feed on coral reefs without concern.
