A Repurposed, Handpressed Lino Print of a design also available on this website in full, mounted glory. Please choose whether you would like the "Ye Merrie Frolicks of Rat Racing" or "The Merrie Frolicks of Rat Racing"from the options 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 is taking part in a race, riding a gigantic rat, in a World Turned Upside Down.

Bought 1 itemThis is my third attempt to express my delight on impulsively allowing the www to find Tamsyn Swingler. And almost as though she was waiting, my chosen artifacts were dispatched and arrived safely. I'm reminded of Dr Strangely Strange. But in this case weirdly normal.
