Subject: [Baren 13359] Skokie library use of art work charset="iso-8859-1" 

Hi Julio,
Perhaps you should ask the library to give Jeanne Chase an honorarium for
using her art work on the web, if it is to be used to promote the library in
the long run.  It is nice to see the library stands up against censorship
and permits a nude image to be used in their web site front page.  In the
early days of the web we were all worried about what would be permitted.
Anyway, the webmaster of the library should be aware of the implied
copyright in any original work of art.  I think that most people who
organize exhibitions, ask permission of the artist for use of their art to
advertise the exhibit.  I know that the California Society of Printmakers
did that, at least while I was working on exhibitions.  They actually get a
copyright permission signed by the artist.   There is one on my web site at
http://www.jeaneger.com/csp/agree.html

Also, the copyright law is at

Subject: [Baren 13360] "we interrupt this discussion for some personal horn-blowing" 

Howdy, folks. I had a bit of good news in the post yesterday which as it
relates to printmaking I thought I would share with y'all.

One of my woodcuts ("The Terrible Coney", 2000) is to be part of the
Boston Printmaker's biennial at Boston University, and it seems that my
print has received the award of Juror's Commendation from David Kiehl,
Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Whitney Museum.  I don't really
know what this approbation entails, but it's pretty neat, huh? 

I believe I recall reading that some fellow Barenites were also in this
show... Mario, perhaps?  Anybody else?

Back to trying to finish this late print for exchange #8...

Cheers,
James

Jim,
What exciting news, an award and judged by such a prestigious 
guy.....our hats are off to you!!!!! Hit him up for a show at the 
Whitney if you meet him, even if you don't meet him, write him a letter, 
send him slides of your other work. Who you know is everything!

Subject: [Baren 13363] Dan Smith Water based inks 

I spent a little while working with these inks this AM and will report I 
was favorably impressed. These are the new Dan Smith water soluble 
relief inks. I printed an old lino block plate and used all the colors 
(I forgot to get black, I don't know how I did this) and found them 
pretty good. I printed on dry arches 88 paper. The ink stayed wet for 
several hours on the glass. It handled a lot like oil and rolled out 
well. I liked the transparent base. I did not print one color over 
another as I was in a hurry, but all the colors printed strongly and 
with good definition and blended together well. No mud when mixing the 
colors. I did not have any problem with small lines filling in. So there 
you go. I would need more time to play with them to give a better 
report, but so far I liked them. They did not thin with water perfectly, 
the pigment tended to float in the water a bit, but not horribly. A 
tentative thumbs up on these. Sorry if you get this three or four 
times.....if so you are like me and on too many lists. Clean up was great!
Best to all,
Barbara

Actually, Graphic has had inks out there that are water clean up long before 
Akoua or Dan Smith. You can't thin them with water (you have to use the 
vehicle) but you can clean up with soap and water. If you let them dry, you 
will have trouble cleaning up - someone suggested rubbing alcohol if that 
happens.  Anyone that wants a sample, call 1-800-465-7382 and refer to the 
baren site.
