new lino cut

took some advice from hollybobs and returned to a bit of lino printing. Quite like the fact that the printed area looks a bit like a starfield, might print a plain block just for the texture and use it for something...I suddenly also have an urge to do loads of stuff on squared paper. More to come soon.

How a Black Hole Works

here is my illustration of a black hole. This unlucky person has happened to have passed the event horizon (point of no return, as shown by the heavy black line on the right) and would have to be travelling at faster than the speed of light just to remain stationary at this time. They are uttering the word 'help', but because they are in the vacuum of space this desperate cry would not be audible.
