This sounds like the exhibit was a fantastic success! You were simply a queen of the print world. Congratulations. Here's hoping you sell more work!

Hi Robert and welcome. Barbara is right as always, the Baren site has a wonderful encyclopedia with volumns of information on Hanga. I do have a beautiful book called, THE ART AND CRAFT OF WOODBLOCK PRINTMAKING, Woodblock printmaking with Oil-based inks and the Japanese Watercolour Woodcut. Kari Laitnen, Tulla Moilanea and Antti Tanttu are listed as authors. I am far from a great hanga person and highly suggest 2-3 blocks for the first attempt. Be precise with your kento marks, that will assist you a lot. Take your time and remeber to enjoy your art, have fun!

Hello Bareners,
My name is Eric Hagstrom. I've been "lurking" in the shadows reading
the forum for a month. I'm an artist who is experienced in the western
woodcut printmaking, but have been enthusiastically and agonizingly
experimenting with moku hanga recently. I'm very inspired by the
Ukiyo-e woodblock artists. I also carve wooden marionettes. Some of my
work can be seen on my web site:
http://www.e-hagstrom.com/indexpage/index.html
I've signed up for your Print exchange #27. Which I'm very
excited about, interesting theme
and a good size for a novice at hanga. No doubt I'll be getting back to
you all soon -- Eric

JAN

Many congratulations on your very successful exhibition.
And to SELL a lot is wonderful. It is always so gratifying to know that people will part with $ for your work. That proves they must really appreciate what you are doing.
Wish I could see the show but I am afraid it is more than a one hour trip!!!!!!

Luv

Hello Eric,

I loved your puppets ... especially the spider and the frog. I used to make
puppets and put on shows when I was a kid ... too many years ago.

Welcome to Baren ... glad to see you in an exchange already.

Cheers ...... Charles

Hello everyone
My name is Viza -- I've been lurking for about a week now but I've signed up for the exchange so my lurking days are over.
I am both excited and scared this will be my first attempt at moku-hanga. Lately I have been working on woodblocks printed
with a baren and using chine colle for the color areas.
bye

p.s -- On the off chance anyone lives near Spokane WA, there is a great exhibit of prints from the Bolker Collection
at Jundt Art Museum Gonzaga University which ends 10/14

Hi Viza,
Welcome to Baren!
I drive by the reader board on Hamilton at Gonzaga everyday and say to myself "I've got to stop by and see the exhibit". Now that I know the exhibit has prints I'll have to make sure I do.
Have fun with your first exchange!
