We all love a comedy that gives a crash course in woodblock printing! And I have to say that the assassins of Vicious Moonlight are people of many talents.

Went to see the Hiroshige exhibition at the British Museum (https://www.britishmuseum.org/exhibitions/hiroshige-artist-open-road) and it is astonishing. Not just because Hiroshige is a wonderful designer, but the level of craftsmanship in the carving and printing is INSANE.

Spent 2 hours there just wandering from print to print, shaking my head in awe and saying "wow" (well, until I saw 'Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi Bridge and Atake', and that got a "Holy F*CK").

After the decline of #ukiyoe, a new art movement emerged in #Japan that sought to revitalize the traditional #WoodblockPrinting: #ShinHanga (‘new prints’). The movement combined the beauty of ukiyo-e with elements of modernity and Western art influences. Emerging during a period of rapid modernization, Shin Hanga blended the beauty of traditional styles with contemporary sensibilities, capturing the beauty and complexity of early 20th-century Japan.

Shin-hanga: The ‘new print’ movement in Japan after 1900

After the decline of ukiyo-e in the late 19th century, a new art movement emerged in Japan that sought to revitalize the traditional woodblock printing. Known as Shin Hanga (新版画), meaning ‘new prints’, this movement combined the beauty of the traditional ukiyo-e style with elements of modernity and Western art influences. Emerging during a period of rapid modernization in Japan, Shin Hanga blended the beauty of the traditional ukiyo-e style with contemporary sensibilities, capturing the beauty and complexity of early 20th-century Japan, leading to a renaissance in the art of woodblock printing.

I'm experimenting with woodblock printing.
This is the first image I tried carving and printing. I did a few where I just carved random lines and shapes.
After printing a few on toilet paper wrapper, I printed a few in this card.
I saw a video of someone embroidering over a painting and thought that might work with this print. Decided to embroider a scratching post.
A few coloured pencil details and I think it's quite cute.

Every day is Caturday!

This Friday's art appreciation moment is Provincetown Back Yards, Blanche Lazzell, as seen at #mfaboston in the very educational exhibit of Provincetown color woodblock printing. #art #woodblockprinting

I admire so many #printmaking techniques. If you could choose only one method to look at, which would it be?
