September’s End – Limited Edition – Lino print Original
Legend has it that when Michael cast the Devil out of Heaven, he landed backside first into a blackberry bush. This incident is the root of the superstition that Blackberries should be plucked and eaten before the 29th September (known as Michaelmas) as any left hanging from the thorny stems following this date are defiled by the Devil in the form of him spitting upon the, placing his foot on them or in this case by passing water over them, in memorial rage at his sore landing.

Dr Theobald the Scourger –
I am very inspired by the look of the plague doctor. So much so in fact I also make masks, and part of Montol involves groups of similarly dressed people in guilds roaming the streets of Penzance on the 21st December every year and entertaining people at the various pubs they stop in. I have made a guild of quack doctors who play music, and add comedy to the evening, with out dated and terrifying cures and questionable sick notes for those who wish to stay in bed the following day. We also have a guise beast called Ratael, a sort of mutant plague-ridden Obby Oss in the form of a rat.
All except two of the members of the guild are called Dr. Theobald, and this fellow beats the demons and illness out of patients, upon his robes are embroidered leeches, a quacks favoured company. He is just about to set to his evening business, and there will be a lot of people in need of his services tonight, as a meteor has foretold him of this news.
*Disclaimer* This was designed circa 2015, but apparently foretold some events in 2020
