Hi Mark, I haven't watched any videos for a long time because unfortunately I haven't had time for my art. But today I had to look at your channel again. Your are still endless in your creative, inspiring ideas. Wow! And from just over 1000 followers in the beginning you now have over 22000!!! You deserve that so much and hopefully there will be many more. The picture is fantastic again.This size is a challenge. I admire your patience in cutting everthing out so perfectly. I will now watch the video of you with your skechbook tour that I have been wanting for a long time. I'm very pleased that you did that. I wish you many more ideas and maybe you can be a full time artist soon:)). Cheers Gabi

What a brilliant tip for removing layer of paper to reveal corrugated part of cardboard.... no more picking at for me now! Love your work and your commentary is so helpful and to the point. Thank you.

Please, more of this type of corrugated art, this is fascinating!

I was smiling the whole time, watching this. In 1975, my high school art teacher taught a 6 week linocut printmaking project. We got to pick our subjects…I used that very same image of Bowie to carve an 8" x 10" plate! I'd make a bunch of prints each day and give them to friends and fellow students (even some teachers!). They were very popular. How I wish I still had that plate all these years later! Anyway, it was fun to watch your creative use of cardboard…your approach to using the gel plate and various materials is inspiring, and this project in particular brought back a lot of fun high school memories.

You are so resourceful and CREATIVE!!! Excellent results, excellent tutorial!

Love this technique. Love that it doesn't cost a bomb.

Thanks for sharing, really good tips and techniques. Much appreciated, especially for us beginners.

Here’s a challenge. Try a five colour print in the style of the Batsford book jackets and old style travel posters. The more transparent acrylic would in overlay end up producing the other colours in the print. It strikes me that the gelli plate is ideal for this

This is more than brilliant. I continued to be amazed by your reuse of items that people would normally throw away. Not that I should keep everything but some things I will keep now.

Fabulous Mark, thank you for your generous sharing.

So happy to see you back with more good stuff! I'm definitely going to try the corrugated cardboard method. I didn't know that water would make it easier to separate the layers.... should have used my brain.

that's the idea!!!! my word, printmaking can be expensive. my main aim is to offer accessible alternatives that hopefully involve recycling and won't burn your wallet xxxx

I’m a people Photographer looking for other ways to use my images. For a while I’ve been exploring gel plate printing, collaging and alternative processes all very informative but not quite doing it for me. Then I found you! The combination of photography, gel plate printing and graphic art elements is exactly where I want to be going. Also, I’ve struggled with laser image transfers so I will be trying your well described process with photoshop. Many thanks.

Delighted the videos are helping you along Tony. Thanks for taking time to comment : ) much appreciated.

I've wondered what you were doing! It has been a couple of weeks. YAY cardboard! I have pulled off a layer and used it a few times, both for the lines and to make a nice grid pattern. It will hold up to print after print, until enough paint accumulates on the cardboard to make your design fill in, but even then, you can always cut the paint away and keep on printing! Using printing inks or acrylic inks instead of paint will reduce the buildup, of course. I think you should make an oversized homemade gel plate for yourself! There are lots of KZread videos on the process. It might be a bit costly, but not as costly as retail! Enjoyed seeing this episode! Ta!

I learn so much from your videos. Thank you!

This is amazing, thank you so much! Can’t wait for my gel plate to arrive so I can play with this technique 😊

Wow, wow, wow! Pushing yourself, boundaries of scale and printing. Poster size is fabulous. Again, Mark, thank you for the excellent detailed description of your producing various tones. If that wasn't enough for your viewers, you added offset which is one of my favorite techniques. Flouro orange added for a nod to great music show posters or album covers of '60s. What is next? I also need some new vocabulary and descriptors to use to convey admiration, surprise, excitement...

Love that idea!!

Mark, this is fantastic! I can see a whole lot of uses for this technique in my work. Bravo!

The corrugation is a lot of fun. I tried it on a smaller scale, rollering ink on the cardboard first, transferring image to plate before adding background layer and lifting. The combo was pop in pink and red. I am keen to do more. Your videos foster unprecious experimentation with often striking results. Thanks so much.

This is brilliant! Great art work from your side and great technique for the rest of us to try! I will definitely give this a go!

This is a fantastic idea! The results are incredibly impressive! Thanks so much for sharing this technique.

I've had some decent success with plain small scale cardboard stencils, but you've given me a few ideas for larger scale - although 12"x12" is my current limit for gel-plates - so I may have to adapt second stencilling and layering to achieve bigger pieces. Useful tip for anyone who doesn't have the confidence of drawing out or to save time gridding up: cut your pictures in half on photo editor, then print each half on a sheet of A4 then tape together. Hey presto, an A3 printout you can trace around, cut out, spray over, transfer to cardboard etc.

Stunning results. Thanks for sharing!!!!

A wonderful experience.

I've used corrugated cardboard for texture before but not in such a precise way. I can't wait to try out these techniques - thank you! 😊

Hi Mark, lovely prints and techniques. This reminded me very much of being in the print room and using collagraph techniques to make plates out of mount board, and peeling off different layers to create tones. The cardboard worked a treat for you, but you were thinking about how you could extend the life of the plate…. I used a wood glue that created quite a hard surface back then, painted it over the entire surface, and could then make up to fifteen prints using a press. The cardboard plates of course will only take hand pressure, but still I wondered if you could use a suitable glue to stabilise things. The difference between the one I used (I do not remember it’s name) and PVA is that it was much less wet and dried much harder. I love these kind of techniques and the end results. Just to add to your tutorial, it is not just the photos of famous people that you can do this with, of course, a photo of a family member can be given the same treatment or a friend. A quick play around in Snapseed can reduce it to what is needed. And really you could do this with a photo of anything, not just people. Just choose unfussy images…. Extender is great for Gelli work, just use it sparingly, you do not need much. They all work pretty much the same, I think I have three and they seem to be interchangeable. For anyone who needs to work slower it really helps. The size you are working at here is awesome! Had you thought of using one of the modern ‘paper’ types for stencils? I am thinking of Yupo or the stone papers, there are also some translucent ones used for various commercial applications, I used to get sample sheets from commercial paper companies for various design briefs. They cut really well even with scissors….. and do not do that wet stretchy stuff, you can even wash and reuse some of them. Thanks Mark! Now we have a use for all the cardboard we seem to get lumbered with, I love repurposing stuff anyway.

Thanks for such a thoughtful message Lindy. I get so much to think about from the comments from videos and they've often guided my future experiments so helpfully. Will look into your suggestions for stencil papers - I've had other people mention Yupo so will start with that.

@@yeatesmakes Hello Mark and Lindy, wanted to tell you that both Yupo and Stone Paper do not work too well for stencils, I always make mine either of Mylar sheets, or I use the transparent foil that you can print on with your printer. You can print your design directly on the foil, saves one step. And regarding the retarder: you said you couldn’t get it in your art store- but you do know that that stuff you put your wallpaper on the wall is pretty much the same stuff? (Sorry I am german and don’t know the word) It‘s very cheap and does exactly the same, the only difference being you have to use it up in a couple of days. Cheers from Berlin, Tina

As always inspiring Mark, I really liked seeing the difference that reversing the red and blue layers made side by side, I also preferred the second one. I am pretty sure even Mr Ziggy Stardust himself would have approved of this use of that iconic image.
