Dear Ellen (and all),

When they say "all hanga", they mean traditional Japanese woodblock print
(we've been calling them "moku-hanga", usually) -- waterborne pigments
brushed onto the blocks and printed by hand using a baren (printing
disk). Hanga are usually multi-block multi-color prints. Oily inks or the
use of a press would be prohibited in an all-hanga exchange (we've
previously done one all-hanga exchange -- #15
http://barenforum.org/exchange/exchange_15/exchange_frame.html if you'd
care to see the gallery?

I've been dutifully collecting everyone's suggestions for theme for #27 and
will continue to do until we 'decide'... If we had to choose today,
though, it appears that the consensus is for an all-hanga exchange with a
tengu theme... I hope you'll keep this discussion going and that we'll
nail it down in the next several weeks.

Looks like the problems with my posting have been worked out! So, Here goes-

I have been a member for over a year, just absorbing all the info and banter
on the forum, but never posting. I have picked up a LOT of great info from
the posts... And have really enjoyed the chatter as well! Since I am
participating in Exchange #26, I thought perhaps I should jump in and say "Hi".

I have followed the exchanges, and am GLAD that I have finally made it in
to one! A few on here already know me from the WetCanvas Printmaking forum,
But I am new to most.

I work as a Merchant Marine officer full time, and an artist part time. I
live in Tarpon Springs, FL (near Tampa, on the gulf). I do all sorts of art- But
like to concentrate on relief printing, especially linocuts.

You can take a peek at my work on my web page, I have MOST of it up and
running, it is _http://www.agott.com_ (http://www.agott.com_)

The site isn't even close to being complete yet, But you can see some of my
artwork there, my printmaking and other misc. work. Let me know what you
think!

-Andrew

I should add that many prints from our first (and only) all moku-hanga
exchange #15 were exhibited alongside prints by Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec,
Arthur Wesley Dow, Mary Cassatt, Bertha Lum, Paul Jacoulet, Norma Bassett
Hall and others during the Spencer Museum of Art's May-June, 2003 "Inspired
by Japan" show, organized and curated by Cori Sherman and Steve Goddard.

Thanks for bringing this up Ellen. I don't know what Tengu or Hanga
actually mean, either. Could someone please explain?

Mike

I ventured into the Hanga exchange many moons ago and although it was my first (and last) Hanga print. I did learn a lot and am ready, willing and able to venture into another one.
One can feel "safe" and never learn.
