Ask yourselves, is your day truly complete without a wood engraving of a Royal Staicase Wentlet? I think not.

This 2015 clip by YouTube channel Applied Science, shows a stop motion animation of a phonograph needle in a vinyl LP groove made using an electron microscope [video with the process steps: https://t.co/W03C49HKvK] [how the stereo LP groove works: https://t.co/s1CJlSc58B]

Today #otd is the feast of St Bartholomew, the skinned apostle

One of the most striking representations of the apostle appears in the Duomo of Milan. Marco d’Agrate's 1562 sculpture imagines the martyr's flayed flesh draped over his shoulder #saints #twitterstorians #arthistory

@DrStruthers @GraceANagle @calbourne_lady @CHASE_DTP @CourtauldRes @alixebovey @StruthersWatch It reminds me of the kind of painting Christian Schad would make. I'm busy right now but would like to work from that some time, who do I ask for permission?

@QuercusBooks @HemelWstones @amy_historia @Waterstones I was born and bred in Hemel Hempstead funnily enough.

If you're looking for an excuse to celebrate, it's Palle Nielsen's birthday today. I think he was the greatest ever artist with linocut. Cheers Palle!

Thank you so much to @Lipfon_ at @QuercusBooks for this beautiful package I got this morning. Storyland by @amy_historia looks fantastic and is also beautiful looking! Check out the laser cut design and the gorgeous art postcards, can’t wait to see the finished hardback!!

[Chris Pig @ChrisPig5]

@amy_historia @QuercusBooks @riverrunbooks excellent! Can't work out which you're more excited over, the audiobook or the snacks!

[Chris Pig @ChrisPig5]

I'm finally able to offer courses in wood engraving, linocut and etching. Classes start on the 9th of September, all details are at https://t.co/epblleVVNr

@amy_historia @seanehewitt That's excellent! Less is more.

I've been obsessing over German chiaroscuro, particularly Hans Wechtlin. These colourways are experiments for "Icarus near the Frome Central Leisure Centre Complex". Icarus to follow.

@natchjourneyman @Waterstones @CVHISTORYFEST I'm not surprised it's selling like hot cakes, best read I've had in ages.

[Chris Pig @ChrisPig5]

I've just had this article published in Printmaking Today about Carlos Barberena de la Rocha, a fantastic Nicaraguan artist whom some would describe as radical but I think he's quite sensible really. #printmaking #Frome #ChrisPig

Amy and Will came by today with their baby. I was quite overwhelmed.
