I would like you to visit it, and please drop me your comments:

Olá, Wanda, Mike, and all
I want to ask you something.
Let me explain.
Please read carefully because
I don't know if you are going to
understand I want.
It's very simple:
I want to do here in my city
In a Cultural Place - University Gallery or other
a exposition of "self-portraits" BUT it will be with
xerox copies of selfportraits woodcuts, wood engravings.
I ask you all to send to me 2 xerox copies of one work or two
you already have done before.
Could you, couldn't you?
Well, it is for my resaerch in Xerox-Art.
I will do an exposition, and the works will go my site that is in
construction, and I wll do also an artist book
I am inviting the Brazilian artists of the "Grupo Gravura"
to participate too. So it will be an integration of
the two forums.
Please, Baren people, what do you think???
Mike, Wanda, and all,
did you understand?
Do you think it is possible?
Thanks for your attention
Murilo from Floripa, Brazil.

I went to you web and
it's fantastic! I want to send you
mine too.
Perhapas the living ones should send me a work.
Could you help me in this?
Thank you for cooperation.
Murilo
You should be able to go to any of their web sites from their work and ask
them. Tell them you saw it at my site as an introduction.
Let me know if you need anything more. I would be happy to send you some of
mine also.
Robert
Hi, Is anyone going to take to workshop in Dublin this year?
I took it last year and had so much fun I am braving the land of the fly-over and taking it again. The Dublin Art Assc. was absolutely wonderful and very open to a bunch of printmakers working to all hours obsessively.
I recommend it highly.
Go to Dublin Art on the search engine and take a look.
Happy New Year!
Robert
