Dear Rakesh,

Very sorry that your print was sent a month ago but hasn't arrived. How
did you send it?

The public postal service in SA is very bad. If you use a private
courier company (DHL, Fedex, etc.), it usually arrives in 4 to 5 days.
If you send a parcel through the post office, registered, it is likely
to arrive eventually but may take a long time. (The first parcel that
Barbara sent me, by express mail and registered, took about four weeks
to reach me.) Unregistered parcels sent through the post office often go
missing.

Therefore, the surest way for you to send your print at this stage would
be through one of the courier companies.

Is there one place online that we can go to in order to find out the exhibition schedule of the "Inspired by Japan" shows?
I'm interested in knowing dates, times, receptions, locations, etc.

On my blog I list where my work can be viewed and I am having difficulty finding where my work will be.
Thanks!

Hello all,

I was just able to take sometime to view the prints online... Great stuff there!! I have been inspired by some of the prints.

I do have a "my 2 cents" suggestion..

I believe it would be nice to include the individual print dimensions on the site for those who might like to purchase via the web.

Peace,

Subject: Senshafuda - Summer 2011 : First proof copies ...
Posted by: Dave Bull

"Better late than never ..." What a horrible 'excuse' that is! And really quite an insult to the waiting collectors, too! It makes it sound like I've been completely dismissive of everybody else's feelings ... "I'll be ready when I'm ready!"

Well, what can I say ... we really are trying to get things done here, but 'life' keeps getting in the way ... (Yet another feeble excuse!)

In any case, after all the patient waiting, I finally have some samples of the summer Senshafuda to show you. This is a scan of the second test batch that Tetsui-san brought over on Saturday morning, looking for my approval to get going on the edition itself:

At this point, I don't actually remember what I showed you, as far as sketches and sample designs were concerned. Designer Seki-san had been very busy at the time, and after just too many long 'blanks' without hearing from her, I went ahead and took a few of her roughs and turned them into tracings ready for carving. I sent these to carver Sato-san, and he got busy right away.

He turned the job around in very quick time, and the two of us had a meeting to work out a sensible colour separation. He then got busy with the colour blocks, sent them over to Tetsui-san, and he in turn got busy with a trial proof. We didn't have a four-man meeting on that this time; Tetsui-san asked that he be . . .
