I find the concept of the wood block itself fascinating. Can't quite wrap my head around how the carver could actually conceptualize the different layers; take a 2D image concept... and carve it as a negative, split into multiple layers of depth corresponding to different colours, with some of the layers looking utterly abstract without their context... ...then have this hand-carved thing's multiple layers all line up perfectly.

@KC-kl6qc

He's done a small series of videos on the actual carving process. It's actually a simpler than you might think. Long story short, he prints off the final image onto semi-transparent paper and fixes a copy to each wooden block. Each block is used to print a specific colour, so for each block Dave marks out the areas on the final image that are going to be that specific colour. He then carves away all the unmarked areas of that specific block, leaving only the raised areas that will be used to print that particular detail and in that particular colour. Hey, I said it was simple, not quick or easy.

@@SeymourDisapproves There is a guide in the bottom right corner, and on the bottom edge closer to the left corner. And they aren't just marks drawn on the wood, they're carved out. So you don't actually have to line anything up manually, you just let the paper rest against the bit of wood that stands proud from the block and it will be aligned. Sometimes you have to adjust the marks by adding or removing milimeters of wood, since the wood changes dimensions with the changes of humidity, temperature, etc.

Turns out the mindset and some of the techniques have rather unexpectedly become useful in my work.

Such beautiful work. Thank you for sharing it with us!

If you're wondering like me what the spoon is for, he's using it to keep the ink from getting on the reference notches when he brushes it on. That way there are no marks on the outer parts of the print.

@@martykopka there is also a reference notch on the middle left side of the bottom of each block which is what Dave is covering up with the spoon. For the same reason you describe for the bottom right reference notch - to keep pigment off these raised areas. When he fits the paper into the block before rubbing, you see him first align it with the bottom right reference notch, and then he pulls the paper down against the other reference notch to make sure it’s fully aligned before allowing the page to lie flat on the block.

It may look like an antiquated design to some, but I'm not kidding; this Demon King picture sent chills down my spine! Perhaps it's just me, but I think our modern culture thinks too benignly of historical portraits like this all over the world and we ought to take these pictures far more seriously! Wonderful job, David!

I really enjoyed being able to see the process "from the printers eyes" as it were. Such a great idea for a video!

This is one of those cultural gems whose wide spread dissemination is only possible because of the internet and the ease of access it affords artists and consumers alike. I love this video and hope David can produce more to his liking and at his own pace. Watching this has motivated me to learn more about how I can procure these prints for my yet to be art collection!

Who had the clever idea to use a modified spoon to cover the registration marks? Very smart. Easy to pick up and hold and clean. 😊

This video is a calming delight to enjoy while winding down from work and a pleasant rhythm when lying down to sleep. David I’m truly thankful for this video.

This has been both an asmr experience, and an amazing learning experience. Its awesome!

Holy cow, THIS is how they made/make those prints?! It’s so much more complicated than it seems like it would be. I’ll never look at those old prints the same way again. I can’t type enough words to convey how blown away I am! Much respect!

I really love watching this, would love to see more of this sort of video, where it's just the process and the audio that goes along with it

This is brilliant thankyou David. It's so rare in modern society that we see the true time, effort and process that goes into the things we consume, the products we buy or indeed the art and crafts we appreciate. We are so used to everything being instantaneous, edited or curated to such an extreme degree to satisfy short attention spans, meet algorithmic criteria or shout for attention. It undoubtedly distances us from the creators or produces of all these things, ultimately putting up barriers to the understanding of the craft, creativity and sheer effort that goes into the production ultimately devaluing the work that takes place because it goes unseen, and thus unappreciated. It is content like this and your continued candour about the work you do, the problems and challenges you face that do so much to counter act that unfortunate situation. I hope we see more of these kinds of video in the future, although hopefully not at the expense of your well deserved sleep.

Pure perfection! Thank you for the wonderful process!

The carvers who make those pattern blocks must be so skilled as well! Very interesting to see just how much precision goes into these prints at every step of their creation. Thank you for the video, I really love the unedited style.
