My name is Brandon Johnson and I am an 'artist' outside of Chicago, IL. I work in a variety of mediums including painting, drawing, etc, however within the last year or so I have caught the printmaking bug. Rarely has a day gone by over the last year and a bit without either designing, carving, or printing.
This video is a little bit different for quite a few of the other ones that I have made recently. It documents the whole process on this print from start to finish. The reason for this is because unlike the previous videos, the key block was already completed a couple of months ago. However, I never felt like the print was enough to put out for sale, and I also wanted an additional challenge to improve my own skills. To that end, I have cut away the plant on the initial key block in order to make the subsequent color blocks. It is a simple print that we ended up with in the end, somewhat similar to many of the book illustrations created in thee do period of Japan. All in all, I really like this print! Kyosai has to be one of my favorite designers from that period, especially with his depictions of yokai and spirits.
The quiet chipping away of the cherry wood block and the slight sounds of the block shifting as we move through the process. The soft rustle of the paper, the quiet clank of the pigment cups, the light brushing, the barren rubbing. I don't really like to put the asmr in the title, but it is ultimately the best way to describe this. Soundscape would be more appropriate, as it is the peaceful sounds that make up the average day of work on a wood block. Take a look as we move through different techniques. I don't often think of these videos as tutorials, as I myself am still learning, but if you every want to hear about what not to do I can always throw one of those together.
Subsequent videos in the series will be about color blocks and printing.
I hope everyone enjoys, as it has been a while since the last time I put together a full video like this.
