D2, a digital layout system , pre-press, and then proofing the plating process,
then proofing the output, developing the inks etc. As it is .. certainly arduous, but
rewarding. The proofing, adjusting and failing, are all an essential part of creating,
nothing is finished the first time -
not here, nor anywhere else.

It's interesting that you posted this, because I just had my first "print experience" today. I made my first large (24" x 36") print for my Open Studio class. Came out rather nice, I must say.

Thankfully, everything went smoothly. I gave them my file, they pressed print, and it came out just how I wanted it. Of course, if it weren't for a CEGEP assignment, and I was going to be mass producing it, or selling it for money, I'd probably end up going through a lengthier process.

here's a picture of it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wyendrys/3336356233/

but, I can bring it in tomorrow, before your first class, if you'd like. (i'll be in the CAMT area anyway, from around 10:30 to 11:30).

fantastiche !

yes bring it in, it looks really interesting. but I think your attribution to Scott Hanson is somewhat erroneous though, he's not particularly origional himself.

Those circles,the round, circular rain patterns found in the Cherry tree branches and red patterned bottom, are very reminiscent of earlier ukiyoe patterns, which migrated into the paintings and prints of European art in the late 1880's version of Orientalia.

The patterns and that aesthetic, inspired and influenced many paintings and prints of important fin de siecle secessionist arists, like Monet, Klimt et al.

I've seen the patterns in conteporary painting as well like Cy Twombly and others (check him out Wesly !)

The print is really interesting !

would you be willing to discuss, with the class the process you went through in developing the image and print ? No pressure, freally, but if you don't, I'll kill this kitten, ha.

By the way, I really like the gestural , smudged edges of the rising sun and rays, super.

I realized, I have to leave school after my first class to drive my mum somewhere. I'll only be back at school at around 12:30, and then I have class at 1:00. I can drop by and show you the poster during then (because I have to hand it in tuesday morning).

As for the discussion, I don't mind (although, I'm not sure how interesting I'll be). Will it be for D1 or D2? Which day, etc...

Also, I charge a fee of $0.30 per sentience spoken, so, you might want to have the students collectively gather up some money.

anytime really

It would be fantastic for them to see someone doing something tangible and of quality. the process is, at their stage, quite unimaginable, so just a simple kind of explanation of how, the workpath, would suffice, any thing else would be gravy and really appreciated.

But remember Wes, only if it suits, if your comfortable doing it. The kittens, would eventually expire anyway. ha, we can talk tomorrow or later on, thanks
