In shadows cast by moon’s soft glow,
Behold the Mari Lwyd’s mystic show.
A creature born of Welsh lore’s delight,
To banish darkness and welcome light.

With ribbons fluttering, and skull so white,
She dances through the veil of night.
A symbol of ancient tradition’s might,
Bringing joy and laughter, oh so bright.

In the Gallery at Slice of Life,
a Mari stands tall,
Crafted with care, she heeds the call.
To honor tradition, to cherish the old,
A symbol of stories yet to be told.

With every stitch and every thread,
I’ve woven the tales that lie ahead.
So let’s raise a cheer, let’s rejoice and sing,
For the Mari Lwyd, a timeless thing!

You too can celebrate the Mari Lwyd with a hand carved and printed Lino print of the Mari Lwyd. Available at Slice of Life Giftshop, 1636 Venables St, Vancouver BC!

Digital drawing 11.5”by 8.5” drawn using Procreate.

This is a submission I made for Wellness Beyond the Binary’s magazine ‘Binaries Are Bullsh*t” Volume 1: Sexuality & Pleasure theme.

Sexuality and pleasure are linked to self authenticity, vulnerability and self confidence in a strange and magical mix. The more I’ve been able to accept myself as I am, physically, mentally, emotionally the more I’ve been able to experience intimacy and the magic of sexuality and pleasure. It’s a bumpy and tangled road of discovery but it’s beautiful and this piece is a celebration of Sexuality & Pleasure being experienced, expressed and shared outside of the stiflingly heteronormative popular narrative.

There’s still a lot of work to be done to normalize celebrations of LGBTQIA2S+ Sexuality & Pleasure and all aspects of intimacy shared and enjoyed by human beings. Let’s work to support the shifting of the social collective paradigm in a positive inclusive direction. Especially in these turbulent times with the rise of alt right and far right thinking and “traditional value” bullsh*t is trying to tighten it’s ugly grip on global laws, personal views and political stand points.
The subject matter extends far beyond what I can voice in an instagram caption and so I hope that you find beauty and charm in this piece and that my art can in some way bolster and support the cause.

In love & power
Polly

I just watched “Don’t Look Up” on Netflix - directed by Adam McKay, staring Jennifer Lawrence & Leonardo DiCaprio. I laughed and then I cried at this poinionet satire of our own impending crisis and the media control, state powers, big tech, capitalism and greed that have the wool pulled over our eyes.

Jennifer Lawrence’s character becomes so frustrated at her warning being down played, belittled, candy coated and ignored that she tried to break the media silence by screaming “We’re All Going To F*cking Die!” Which becomes a viral meme in the film and a sticker as she becomes the icon for those that can see the impending crisis.

I identified hard with her frustration and concern and also with her following disillusion & apathy. So I wiped away my tears and created my own version of the sticker from the movie, an iconic character making and iconic statement in a well timed hard hitting movie!

DM me to order prints or stickers - uncensored version also available 😉😌⚰️🧨🔮🔭

Ink pen and Indian Ink sketch of the moon on Bristol Pad paper to celebrate the full moon just now. 🌝 🌟

Really enjoying Indian ink and how using it creates a lot of chance, blotches and happy little accidents that some jownlend themselves to the charm of what you’re drawing.

Thinking of making a little “how to” video with ideas for cross hatching and what you need to get started or maybe a draw along. Would you be interested in seeing something like that?

Green Man - Ready for the Winter Solstice - this green man Lino cut with water colour, is inspired by the arts and crafts movement of the 19th century. A time when industrialization inspired artists to rebel and look to nature, crafts and making everything utilitarian beautiful to counteract the blandness of mass produced machine produced items.
This breaking away from mass produced uniformitarianism in favour of wabi-sabi, hand crafted one of a kindness seems to echo true in our age to me too.
