Not to brag but my cats are Artists™

[Medium: Claws on rainbow scratchboard]

Remi works with a hesitant, erratic violence, creating a piece as light and fluffy as she is, and signing her work by hole-punching it with her teeth.

Timmy uses bold, strong lines to evoke some kind of powerful event, echoing his powerful presence and loud voice.

Nubbins, truly inspired, creates a high-energy piece that symbolizes the void where his brain should be, surrounded by chaos and mischief.

Kona, a reclusive avante garde artist, refused to work with me around. Only in quiet solitude did she create this haunting, introspective work.

Any other polar exploration enthusiasts?

I made this scratch board of the Gjøa, which sailed through the Northwest Passage in 1906.

If you haven’t visited Oslo yet, you really have to! The Fram museum is INSANE!! The Gjøa is on exhibit there, too, although you cannot enter the ship like the Fram :/

Scratch boards have been supperrrr fun for me! This was really challenging but it turned out great (I think).

Any feedback appreciated <3

I want to do more ships…. teehee!

Decorative Sunday

Here are some decorative, Art Deco-inspired illustrations and plates by Canadian artist Walter Tandy Murch (1907-1967) from Men and Machines, an analysis and critique of mechanized society and industrial commercialism by American economist and social theorist Stuart Chase (1888-1985), published in New York by Macmillan in 1929.

Murch, often styled W. T. Murch, is primarily remembered as a still-life painter with a fondness for including mechanical objects in his compositions. These illustrations have been variously identified as drawings or wood engravings. We'd certainly like to believe that they are wood engravings, and perhaps they are, but we suspect that they are probably scratchboard illustrations that could be photographically reduced for publication without losing resolution. The images evoke the kind of reduction in human autonomy and soullessness of mechanized society depicted in Fritz Lang's Metropolis produced only two years before. Although the illustrations are starkly ominous, we still think they're pretty cool.
