Colour mixing! I used the Nix colour sensor to more accurately mix the colours. I used up a whole tub of yellow.
Tomorrow I will print a proof!

I made this piece mostly for myself. I've long loved the shapes these overpasses drew against the sky. Maybe it's just a matter of growing up near them. I, classically, forgot to reverse this from my sketch, so the curves don't match reality, but maybe for the best.
Just finished printing some woodcut notecards. Hanging to dry. Been awhile since i've done any printmaking---love that smell of ink!
Happy birthday to Canadian 
geneticist Irene Ayako Uchida (1917-2013)! In my #linocut Uchida is shown surrounded by chromosones, with anomalies (shown with pink arrows) due to radiation exposure, based on one of her research papers. A strand of DNA is hidden in the image (as her watchband).
Uchida didn’t set out to be a scientist. She was studying English literature at UBC, before she was interned

Last Saturday we spotted a Northern Wheatear in the field. Probably for a stop on its way further north.
Sun setting in Tropea, Italy. I'm a nerdy minimalist, and enjoy distilling the world around me in simple but bold shapes and colors. In "Tropea" I'm in love with the glistening of the setting sun on the sea causing camera glare.

My beaver lino block print is hand printed on delicate, translucent, handmade Japanese paper with a deckle edge. This is a North American beaver (Castor canadensis), symbol of Canada.
April 7 is International Beaver Day. While a species of “least concern” according to the IUCN Red List of mammals, numbers of North American beavers have been literally decimated since colonization. 1/2

My friend Kristina Buckley's opening for "You and I Are (of Common) Earth" was beautiful on Friday night. It's a shared show with her late grandfather William Buckley. Here are some pics:
Another detail of my pollinator garden piece made of collaged prints, for Manufactured Ecosystems. This shot shows my tiny sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens (Toronto’s official bee). I took a little liberty with scale so I could actually get some details and yet show the bee in context of the flowers (purple coneflowers, Canada goldenrod, 1/2

It’s my birthday! Turning 35 so all my prints are 35% off in my webshop - only shipping in the EU currently but it would be so lovely to send some art to fedi folks 
Studio OtherwiseStudio OtherwiseStudio Otherwise sells Anders Tallvik's art prints, full of funky florals, tasty treats, and butts! Expect riso prints and screenprints, and maybe one or two artsy surprises. You'll also find branding workshops and creative direction services here.
Had an extra sheet of Arches so ran this alternate color scheme from last month's print set. Love some of the tones in that middle section.
Working on a new print about the future of pollination featuring wild native bees for Manufactured Ecosystems.
The future of pollination is a huge global concept to tackle artistically. There are issues worldwide, but they’re all local: specific species, stresses on ecosystems & remedies. You can proscribe a general policy like ‘restore habitat’ but you have to be clear that the best plants to help pollinators are those that evolved in a given place.
The Signifier : six : shot : gallery 
has updated online to include the first quarter of 2025 - one artist showcase per month & slots still available - you can see the art for free & find submission guidelines here:

I signed up to an intaglio course (I don't know if that's a right term in English?)
I'm a complete beginner and still very much figuring out the process but it's fun! Very intriguing technique. It's also super refreshing to learn something new.

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.
Working away at this and wondering how much light I may yet want to let in and at the same time resisting the temptation to eat away at some of the small leaves before I make a first proof and am then able to properly see what I have. In lino, once it’s gone, it’s gone.
