The Patron Saint of Brave Faces – Lino Print
During Lockdown I was working in two keyworker jobs which I am still doing. A lot of art has been created by those who were effected by lockdown on the inside of their house, but this was created from the outside point of view, observing those who were only allowed out for essentials and not allowed out at all, but also seeing others who had little care for lockdown at all.
Sometimes in these testing times we put a smile on and find ways of navigating these days even when it’s not how one openly feels, and this is what this Saint/Angel is created for, for those days when it feels like a struggle. I’ve not named her by any particular name, I don’t actually know if any similar exists but now she does in a time when maybe people need her in particularly appreciate the spiritual and sarcasm.
Also available in full colour and with gold details from this shop!

The Harbourside Bucca – Cornish Spirit – Limited Edition Lino Print
Based in Cornwall in the darker time of the year, with glimmers of light in the form of the village fairy lights, illuminated lighthouse, starlight and full moon, we quake in our boots at the howling and whooping of the local buccas, (Cornish devils or earth spirits) whose calls can be heard in certain coves and areas of villages on particularly stormy nights. The scene is also illuminated with a gigantic pair of glowing eyes and moonlit details including large fangs. However, he may well be harmless and a spirit who watches over fishermen, who would often leave offerings of fish in a designated area for the bucca. Based on an amalgamation of stories from the Newlun area and places with “bucca” in the place name”.

“You May Call Me ‘Captain'” – Tarraway – A5 Art Print
This fellow is a Cornish Rumplestiltskin style version of a Devil, who appears in an old Cornish Christmas play or a guise dance called “Duffy and the Devil” originally from the Penwith area, specifically St Buryan.
Also known as drolls, this story involves a girl, called Duffy who is taken in by Squire Lovell of Trove, and set to spinning yarn after claiming she can make the finest stockings. This, however is untrue, and she makes a pact with a Bucca (Cornish meaning: Devil) that he should spin the yarnin return for joining him after three years has passed, unless she can tell him his name upon asking, if she couldn’t, she was his. In a sneaky bid to gain his name she addressed him as “Mister what do I call ‘ee?” To which he cunningly responds “You may call me Captain” from Duffy and the Bucca or Duffy and the Devil.
Also Available in a double pack with the Vampire and Sphinx cat in this shop.
