UKIYO-E SITE PLUS ANOTHER COLLOGRAPH

StumbleUpon sends me recommendations of websites I my find interesting. One is a great site with tons of information on Ukiyo-E (woodblock printing). There are demonstrations and examples of both traditional and contemporary techniques. You can find information on carving, registration, gradations and printing. There is also a section on philosophy and a gallery of prints. A great place to get your feet wet if you are interested in Moku-Hanga.

I also made another attempt at a collograph. Mixed results!!
