Nice job on the web site, Juan!  Especially enjoyed the Flash movie of you 
with all those letters blowing around...  Very eerie!  Your webmaster is 
also an artist!  I liked your paintings and prints, too...  Nice intaglios, 
especially!

Maria
A big thanks from me also. Your openness has answered tons of questions
I've wanted to ask but was afraid to for fear of looking like I was
prying. It's like meeting a potter who is willing to share his most
graded glaze formulation with you without reservations.
Thanks. 

Maurice

Perhaps a bit on the obvious, but  I think a very important point of this
whole 'selling' thing is the fact that first of all and above all else you
do.....you must have 'something' to sell that is attractive and catches the
buyers interest.  When I look at some of the more prolific members here
that are doing well, in the business sense, they all seem to have found a
niche (theme, style ?) to follow in their work.

Matt Brown does local landscapes of places close to home, Sarah Hauser has
a whole theme devoted to dogs and other animals, David Bull does
reproductions of old masters,  April Vollmer is developing a mixed
digital-woodcut approach in the hanga style. Others are doing work based on
Gospels, or lighthouses or whatever....but certainly in most cases there is
an unifying force that brings the works together.  In some cases it may not
be a theme but rather a very special technique or a passionate approach to
printmaking that bowls everyone over.

Maria Arango has not just one main concentration of work, but several
themes that  (a quick surf of her webiste gallery
can attest to this, Rats, Vessels, Out-of-the-Wood, western landscapes,
etc.. ) continue to influence her works.  I think that this is very
attractive to perspective buyers and collectors. There is an upcoming
article in the next Barensuji newsletter on Maria's wonderful "madness",
not to be missed!

thanks...

April,
You mentioned rotating the paper and only cutting 1/4 of the image on the
block: That is the way Escher printed many of his images. The newer we
become the older we are.

I've used gold foil with oil based litho print. Basically, after the ink was
dry, I brushed foiling glue down and laid the foil over the top of it, then
carefully brushed the excess foil off after the glue had dried. Then burnish
it with a smoothing tool. It is labor intensive and time consuming........
not to mention what it does to one's brain by the time you finish with the
edition :>)

Juan, I was able to access your page, but it is really slow loading and was
very difficult for me to maneuver since I speak no Spanish. I did manage to
find images of work, which is wonderful, but it was so unbearably slow, (and
I have cable modem) - or I am too impatient. The work was worth the effort,
though!

Hi folks, anyone know where I can get a hold of Keith Howard's Non-toxic 
Intaglio printmaking book?  The only place I've found it so far is on Amazon 
for $100, which is out of my price range!
best wishes

Sarah,

I asked about this a week or so ago. I had one offer to xerox a few pages 
for me, but no one could find a copy. I did get it through inter-library 
loan, but would like a copy to keep around. I emailed the author. He 
replied that he would not be doing a new addition for a year. But he also 
indicated he had a video for sale on the topic. I have not seen the video.

Sooooo, if you manage to find a source, please let me know.

In the meantime, I want to try electro-etching. I have visited the various 
websites, and it does not look too complicated. But I was wondering if 
there is a book on the topic anyone can recommend. Suggestions, PLEASE ....

Sorry for being a bit off topic for woodblock prints ... it was Sarah's 
fault ...

Cheers ....... Charles

As far as I know, he is working on a new version of the book. If you are 
patient enough it might be worthwhile to wait. If you are just looking 
for information about the process, tips and how to do  instructions, you 
can refer to Howard's non toxic printmaking site.
