It came framed and the way the frame is put together it's sort of a project 
to take the thing apart, so I haven't gone so far as to take the frame apart, 
but it does look a print since the lines, etc look like they are pressed into 
the paper.

Dear Graham
In my reading , I must have glossed over the word Hand PRINTED colors. As
that explains it .

Thanks for clarifying it even further.

Graham,
1.  The above is wickedly funny and I wish to quote you when I exhibit my
current print suite "Suburban Nights."

2.  Your new print, "Chrome Island,"  has some spendid design qualities. I
like the way you have woven "S" curves throughout the whole piece, both
below the horizon and above in the flamboyant sky.  The dialogue between
complementary lavender and yellow areas is also quite satisfying.  		--

Dear Herry

Just came from your Web Site. Very dramatic!  I just loved "Non Fiction from
Indonesia. Your woodcuts have the stark feeling of Kathe Kollawitz. Quite
impressive.
i did not see any information on you or your philosophy which would interest
me greatly.
Are you from Indonesia? Jacarta?
I have a very dear friend in Jacarta. I hope, if you are there that all is
well with you and yours !
Welcome to the Baren. I know you will find it informative and will find many
friends here.

Jeanne

I just visited Herry Dim's site and agree with Daniel Kelly 
that the self portrait is "wonderful".  I like the expressionistic
style of Herry Dim's woodcuts; they disturb in the way good
art can.  Welcome to Baren, Herry Dim.  I enjoyed reading
about you and your work.

It will be put to good use.  I don't take credit for the statement.  Just
something I pick up here there and around.  Most of the quips come from
some where.  I lay claim to only about 3 or 4.

Interesting you picked up on this "S".  It was planned, and in the rough
stage I recall saying to myself..."your milking it Scholes  ...be
careful...it could be a little risky".  Then an inner self said ... art
without risk is.... well, 'just fluff'.

ohhhh....heavy stuff for 7.30 am

Thanks for you feedback
Cheers

Graham

Hi Herry,
It interesting how there is a lot of rhythm in your series
"gonjangganjingnegeriku 2" as compared to the woodblocks.  The series is my
preference.  The woodblocks are powerful.

The installation work is quite wonderful.  Great statements there..

I notice that the images at :
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Gallery/9275/work4.html are broken.

I am interested in know the reason for the extra window that keeps popping up.
"Some word from one of our sponsors" ...... Do they pay for this?
Personally I find it very annoying. My first response is that this is Junk
mail and degrades your site.
My two Canadian cents worth.

Regards,

Graham

Subject: [Baren 3937] Exchange update ... 

An exchange sign-up from Andrea was in my mailbox when I got up this
morning ... so that's 30, and [Baren Exchange 2] is now off and running!

John Amoss long ago graciously volunteered to be the coordinator for
this exchange, and his central location (compared to Tokyo and Kampala,
anyway!) should mean that shipping costs should be minimized for most
people.

Here is the list of participants:

John Amoss
Ray Hudson
Haydee Landing
Julio Rodriguez
Jeanne Norman Chase
Gregory Robison
Bea Gold
Mary Krieger
Greg Valentine
Graham Scholes
Kelsey Smith
Maria Hanley
Jacob Roquet
Chris Bremmer
Wanda Robertson
Cyndy Wilson
Jean Eger
Gayle Wohlken
James Mundie
Kim Kaschimer-Medina
Maria Arango
Ruth Leaf
Michelle Morrell
Sarah Hauser
Rob Noland
Elizabeth Atwood
Brad A Schwartz
Andrea Rich
David Mohallatee
David Bull

John will get in touch with you soon, to confirm details of paper size,
etc. so that you can get started. But the three-month clock has already
started ticking, with the deadline set at July 10th.

Note to general membership: most of the organization discussion for the
exchange will take place among those 30 people directly, but John will
make occasional reports to the main list, to keep you in touch with what
is going on ...

And of course, the sign-up sheet for [Baren Exchange 3] is ready and
waiting, in the same place:

Congratulations on your newest image, Graham.  You have perfectly captured
the sun shining through the blue-grey clouds, that strange reversal of sky
and cloud color.  More!  More!
