Happy May Day! This is hand-pulled lino block print of the Jack-in-the-Green (or Jack o' the Green) an English folk tradition for May Day. Wearing a conical or pyramidal wicker or wooden frame covered in foliage so as to conceal the wearer, the Jack-in-the-Green leads a May Day procession, dancing often with musicians and other figures.

A new block to carve! As a May Day baby I have always been interested in all the various folk traditions of May Day (and the evening before) like Beltane, Walpurgisnacht and May Day celebrations.
