It sounds like something out of the Flintstones. I do think my animation work influences the style of prints I produce, and the discipline of creating animation is very similar to that of Japanese style woodblock printmaking. I'm sure if Keisai, Hokusai and Hiroshige had been alive at the dawn of film-making, they would have been pioneers of 2D animation.Mark Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00277550210371225937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505518248317642290.post-40674658461760827792008-05-05T03:02:00.000+01:002008-05-05T03:02:00.000+01:00Looking at all the prints you have on that desk ma...Looking at all the prints you have on that desk makes it look like your working on a small animation. oww imagine making a whole film using block printing. It would look brilliant but I dont think a human has enough years in one life to complete one. <BR/><BR/>some very lovly work there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505518248317642290.post-3079012631323045162008-05-02T14:58:00.000+01:002008-05-02T14:58:00.000+01:00Hi Annie, and thanks for the kind comment.

I'm hoping all the images will be both lively, light and have an air of tranquility and peace to them.<BR/>I'm slowly beginning to realise what I've set myself up for; but I hope it'll be worth it. I like the idea of producing a small picture book of prints. I've seen old copies of "Ehon" as they're called and would love to create my own little version. I'm not studying Japanese officially, it's more curiosity, though I do own a few beginners books on the language. I'm just fascinated by a writing system that has it's roots so firmly in visual images and pictograms. It seems to fit with the way my brain works and I find the symbols quite easy to remember.Mark Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00277550210371225937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505518248317642290.post-84400613290955518372008-05-02T14:10:00.000+01:002008-05-02T14:10:00.000+01:00Hi Mark, quite a task you've set up for yourself! ...Hi Mark, quite a task you've set up for yourself!
