There was an interesting article about the Woodblocks of Arthur Wesley Dow in Architectural Digest, March 2000.

My thanks to Julio, too, for sharing Sarah's prints with us. There's something very special about her prints ---a free-spirit feeling, an understanding of the animals she portrays -- all shine through! I hope Sarah includes the huge prints she did of my shaggy dog in her one-woman-show. When "Penny" sleeps beneath her portraits, it's like seeing a triple-take of the dog ... and Sarah achieved it all in a few simple lines. (Although I'm sure it wasn't so simple to cut.) Congratulations, Sarah!

Yes the brand you can get hear are called Speedball I don't know were they are made, you just slide a little do-hickie on the top and the roller comes out for cleaning. As for the melted rollers, there are places that can recover your rollers. Commercial printers use them to recover rollers of their presses, you can get just the softness you need.

I still say brayers, but I like my long lasting rubber one pretty well. Graham, thanks for reminding us how little $4 is in the big scheme of things. (If I sold every print the decision to print on the best would be a lot easier, of course!) Still, if you are serious about it, it's the way to go, especially with hanga, where good paper makes such a big difference in printing. I should get some of the good stuff when you order! And Sarah, I can't believe you will have a one person show in Chicago! That's great! (And Julio Jr. looks pretty happy about it too.) Don Furst, did I see some of your work at Mass MOCA when I was up in North Adams? It seems to me there was a piece of yours in the book portion....? As for Kyogo and Hanshita, the old Japanese photocopy method has some difficulties. The larger you get, the less certain you can be of not stretching the paper when you glue it down. I also prefer not to cut through paper. The wintergreen/citrusol transfer is more accurate for larger images. (Both are bad to breathe, though, use caution!) You can reverse an image in Photoshop, and glue it down face up, but the paper is sort of hard to cut through.
