"To die, to sleepâ No moreâand by a sleep to say we end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to. âtis a consummation Devoutly to be wishâd. To die, to sleepâ To sleepâperchance to dream. Ay, thereâs the rub! - William Shakespeare | Hamlet " . Abi and I take a road trip to Whitby, the northern coast famous for its ruins, its fish and Dracula. . Today was a tearful day. My last day, yet so sweet and fulfilling. We hike to the abbey ruins. I am greeted by a man with kind eyes and seductive wit. Am I a student?, he asks. I say 'no', since I am trying to be fair, but he asks again, pleased with my honesty, and I get a few pounds shaved off the admission price. . My soul, moved beyond measure. I whisper to Abi in, quiet tones, that this is a dream. Not to be solely in UK, persay, but as a kid from the hood, one that saw only brick, compacted dirt and the fangs of poverty... . Yet, here I am, learning about Hild, who built this church; a testament to her passion for giving spiritual enlightenment to the masses. A woman with a vision. A king that backed her up. History made eternal. . I think about America. How engulfed we are in what truly will not matter in a year. 5 years. Death. The celebrity worship. The overeating. The drama. The shadow boxing of what could be and the denial of saying truly what is in the American experience. I love my country, thus I ask: Is it worth it? Worth the sleep? . Shakespeare's famous soliloquy stated: To die, to sleepâ To sleepâperchance to dream...but what if, just what if, one decided to wake, to live...to be? . #whitby #York #uk #whitbyabbey #Shakespeare #hamlet #travel #blackgirltravel #lifelessons (at Whitby, North Yorkshire Coast) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnABAZtNnZd3828Xen_0GnpK-o2jD2FAb7YNBk0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So, time is catching up with me. The Book of Lamentations is still in progress so there is more to archive from that eventually but not yet. Some time ago I archived an old sketchbook called The Book of Learning. The practical book before the Book of Days was volume 2 of Learning which was about discovering printmaking processes. That was a heavy thick book but the nature of printmaking filled it quickly. Itâs sibling here is The Book of Learning volume 3. The cover is an old drawing of Odin (which is due to become a collagraph at some point) the inside is a found image of Saint Jean Paul Latine - who seems to be a patron saint of printmaking - (which clearly I should have already known about and I have let you all down by not having made appropriate offerings and prostrations long ago to this most relevant saint.) After Saints come Christmas angels- a test print of the Etsy plate from December. Next are the back 2 inside pages. The first showing a lovely found image of an excellent printmaker from Instagram which feels both ancient Celtic and somehow steampunk. I canât find the image again so apologies for not crediting the artist themselves. My early dry-point of Whitby Abbey is here too. The last page is a sample on Japanese paper of the crow rotation. #sketchbookdrawing #sketchbook #archive #printmaking #printmakersofinstagram #collagraphprint #collagraph #linocut #linocutprint #odin #saint #angel #whitbyabbey #whitby #goth #drypoint #drypointetching #crow #raven #intaglioprint #intaglioprintmaking #learningthroughplay #learning #samples #experiment (at Minster Court) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdtKVhHMxgz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ta-da! Here's my Whitby Birthday Card finished with Scriptural text (the client is a Whitby church). Really pleased with the result. Thanks @Chris Taylor for giving me the opportunity to try something new. The card may end up in a few Whitby shops (minus the Bible verse) and my Etsy store so will keep you posted. đł #whitby #whitbyabbey #whitbyharbour #whitbyartist #whitbylife #trawler #seagull #greetingscarddesign #birthday #birthdaycard #illustrator #yorkshireartist #abundareuk #anthonyhodgsonart #yorkshirecoast #yorkshirelife #inkwashpainting #calligraphy #handmadecards #handlettering #illuminatedletter #illumination #celticart #angloceltic #medievalart #seasideart https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXjxqinxOm/?igshid=1wi8vdr0gkcz1

Remembering when I went to Whitby Abbey, North Yorkshire, UK. đ¸ By me 4/2018 Inspired Bram Stoker to write Dracula...
