Awesome video! Thank you! Do you have noticed any quality differences in MDF? I once purchased MDF which was completely unusable for carving. The surface would more likely tear instead of cut clean edges.

Thank you so much for you effort en teaching and showing your art. - From Denmark

thanks for the video. there are a few things i haven't seen before. much appreciated

Thank you for making this video - very interesting!

I got immediate shock when seeing the frame from 9:40 which is used as a cover for Faith No More album. I sure love how Drooker and Burns' art look like they are working with white ink on black paper. When looking at it it makes you think in reverse about shapes. Also Woodring's grading reminds me of how Gustave Dore was shading/texturing/crosshatching. It's incredible technique and while it takes a lot of time, the effects are eyecandy. I sure will look into those for inspiration.

Love me some Conan! In Robert E. Howard's stories, it seems like anything is possible. It's a world that is totally wide-open and free, but violent conflict and death is a given. I have been thinking a lot about this lately, how I both hate and am drawn irresistibly towards tales of conflict and death. In terms of actual historical events, I really love stories about WWII even though, objectively and according to the better angels of my nature, it's all horror and monstrosity. I guess it is inherently dramatic if nothing else.

I’m trying to control my self and stop drawing sexy women i relapse daily

Great stuff, I've never heard of this website before but ill add it to my collection. Before I was using QuickPoses which is essentially the same thing.

Thank you so much! I had found and used this website awhile ago; but then forgot the name of the site when I wanted to return and practice the timed poses again. Very cool of you to feature this! ❤

These are amazing, I'm learning myself atm and while body construction has been going going at a pretty steady pace gesture drawing/showing off movement has been pretty hard, since I never really know where to start. Noticed you start with the torso and pelvis most of the time and then make your way to the leg. Will definitely try it out for myself!

Beautiful work! How on earth you manage to get a body of work together to have exhibits with such time/ labor intensive work is a mystery to me. ( you mentioned in the video it can take up to two years before you pen an artistic vision onto wood). I’m teaching myself Moku Hanga mostly from watching Dave Bull videos, Laura Boswell book, and a few other things, too.

thanks for all the info

The kind of wood you used, please

Thank you so much for posting this art study, I was so inspired by Mucha’s art that I wanted to do an art study as well :)

Looks like you are carving MDF.

Looking good Jon!

Nice video, thanks. I wonder if there are tiny spoon gouges out there? A rang of those would speed up the process for a design that contained multiple circles of different diameters.

Heck yeah!! Let's gooo!

Wow, you have so much art that perfectly captures the essence of Taiwan!

Beautiful ❤️ Taiwan, wo ai ni

Beautiful stuff!

Nicely done and wonderful prints

Thanks for making me cry, Jon 🥰

I prefer linoleum over wood block relief and reduction cutting. But I like the wood cutting sound. My impressions are limited based upon the editions.

what wood is that......

Very helpful. I shied away from MDF bc I didn't think it would give me crisp lines. Clearly I was wrong. Beautiful work and thank you for the peek into your creative process.

gotdam what an intro !!

Wonderful artwork Jon. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and insight. Please, what is the matrix you are carving? Is is a ply or a composite wood structure? Thanks again for sharing your work.

Amazing

Very nice 👍 impressive work. I want to start this with my drawings too.. Do you know about the woodcut print residency program ?

Hey Jon, Plumsink here. WOW you look young in this video LOL! Very inspiring words at the end, you have to be willing to fail and to struggle and keep on anyway. Basically I think all successful artists have to have a fixed idea in their brains that they are artists and this is what they do and they are going to keep on doing it regardless of external circumstance. Because otherwise there are too many things that will tend to incline you to stop.

I miss you

Are you carving MDF?

Excellent work. I don't know why this technique isn't more popular.

Holy hell, that guy is incredible! Does he have an art book available? I'd love one

Does the woodcutter-woodcuttee life cycle operate as a conventional temporal narrative? Because I think I can hear some woody screams...

Beautiful work and process

What kind of wood do you use and how that woodblock calls?

Why has this not more views! I love your content and work. Will pick some MDF today and start :)

Love seeing your process! And what a great subject.

Love Your Music, dear Mari - also interesting to know more about the actual production / recording / editing - process. Please go on to do videos on this subject

Your audio is amazing… what you using?

Ooh, these look fantastic! This sounds like a really fun, satisfying practice! I really like that you took your time with it as well and didn't try to force yourself to keep it to ten days. I think it's more enjoyable, taking a bit more time with these exercises. Ten days just seems too short!

Nice walk through!

This is amazing!! So much wonderful work!

So pretty :)

Meant to add in last comment, your video was very helpful.

Facial features and shadowing???

Wonderful video!

What a lovely exercise! I'm going to have to try this. Thank you for demonstrating!
