Woodprints postings

There is only so much time,

and I seem to have managed to get myself into more activities 

than planetary time allows.

Having neglected this blog for reasons unknown,

since I have been actively cutting and printing woodblocks,

I'll begin by showing you what I did last night,

and work backward for a bit.

Snapped with my cell phone,

this is one of the 4" x 6" woodblocks I cut it generate some interest in a public woodprint workshop I'm involved in at the Peninsula School of Art in conjunction with a fine woodprint show they are readying for.

I'll have more information soon.

This next one will be printed sometime this afternoon:

4"x6" block to be printed next.

The whiteline wood print completed last week.

 I AM teaching a short three day WhiteLine Woodblock printmaking class at the Peninsula School of Art.

I'll do my best to keep this a bit more up to date....

in the mean time, my blog ARTINGS gets a little more attention.

Small Dog of Power Begins Kelen WoodPrints

It's time to give my woodprints their own blog.

The Small Dog of Power will be excellent to have as my first post,

guarding the bottom end here.

That's him...

my contribution in the BarenForum Chinese Year of the Dog print exchange.
My first major Moku Hanga effort.
Thinking I would need to print hundreds to get the 60 some required, I felt this mild tempered/mannered fellow and I could get on well enough for the duration without arguments or boredom.
I DID discover an entire volume of Murphy's Laws which specifically addresses Japanese printmaking,
the laws of which I managed to follow and then successfully break,
every one of them, with the help of this fine beast....
which is, actually, part of his job AS animal of the year.
