Day 23 #artAdventCalendar is My hand-carved, hand-printed lino block print of the well-known, ancient Chinese folktale of the magpie bridge linking the lovers, The Weaver Girl & the Cowherd, separated by a great river, which is the Milky Way, is printed on lovely Japanese paper.

There are variations of the folktale across Asia, but the story tells of lovers, the Weaver Girl, symbolized by Vega, & the 🧵

My black and white linocut the Chinese folktale of The Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, shows the Cowherd at the bottom right, reaching up towards the weeping Weaver Girl at the top left. Each stands on a stylized raining cloud. There are 6 magpies in flight, flying over raining waves of the river between them. As you look from the bottom left of the river up towards the top right the waves transform into the simple dots of the stars in the Milky Way.

even amongst the rebellious throngs of her corvidae crew, the magpie is the DGAF-est of them all. curious, clever, dressed to impress & so resourceful that two tools are all she needs, this charming gobshite will steal your heart every time.

digital ink drawing shows a eurasian magpie crouched upon a post (that is decorated in pink & black in a way that evokes a punk rock tiger striped motif). the bird seems to be zoomed in on someone or something below. from the beak comes a black zigzag that leads to a speech box in which the words 'punk rock' appear in pink, uppercase, jagged font.
