I’ve been watching David for around six years now, and am 21 years old, so that’s a significant portion of my life. I’ve grown up in England with a pretty ridiculous dream for an asthmatic with heart problems of being a professional wrestler. I’ve never had the courage to actually pursue said dream up until a health scare I had back at the start of February that made me realise my mortality and really kicked me into gear. When that happened I thought of many different people and was inspired by them, and one of those individuals was Dave. Having the courage to bet on yourself and dedicate your life to something so unconventional and outside of the norm is so admirable and has helped me to do the same. Im hoping I will get to perform in Japan one day, they have a very unique and storied wrestling scene there, but I also want to visit for the chance to finally visit Dave’s shop that I’ve had the privilege of watching grow from an idea into a fruitful reality. Always great to see a new video and thank you for all of your hard, and more importantly, passionate work.
Good luck to you!! I was lucky to visit Japan once, but that was before I’d ever heard of Dave Bull, Mokuhankan, or wood block prints. 😅 Hope you make it there one way or another.
I had the absolute pleasure of visiting David's workshop today and spending a little time in his company. It delights me that people like David exist to preserve craftsmanship and bring interest to a whole new generation. Thank you for your time today David and I wish you all the best. I ended up with a couple of your Ukiyo-e Heroes prints and they will take pride of place on my walls at home.
Heh heh ... sorry for cutting out and heading back upstairs ... the video rendering was done, and I had to get the rest of the upload process finished. And 'thank you' again to your team for making that part of it possible - we would never have the 'reach' that we have if not for the platform your organization provides!
Hello David, we met in Tokyo in June 2023 during my trip. I was the young Canadian guy in the Scarface T-Shirt who told you I had been watching you since I was 14. You apologized to me that it was busy but I didn't mind at all I was glad I could talk to you. The ladies in there were lovely as well. I told you I would visit the shop again during that trip but I didn't have the chance. I want to return to Japan again and definitely visit your shop for a second time. I really did love the entire scenery in there.
I was so so happy to be able to visit Dave's shop yesterday! It was wonderful to see the shop and see Dave hard at work at his bench. I was able to page through all sizes of prints and fell in love with some new pieces of my home collection!
I’m actually studying to be a tattoo artist in the states. I found this channel a few years ago and now I’m educating myself on traditional Japanese art!
Dave, you are a master of your craft, but also I need mention how much of a master you are of content creation and social media. You are using all of the social media tools out there how they're meant to be used, whether that be the regular Twitch streams, polished RUclips videos, or insightful Instagram posts. You're using Patreon for the right reasons, your website archive is a thing of beauty. And you're not monetising a thing - you're passionate and just want to spread knowledge and learn more. Hats off to you.
I was hoping for another end of year video from Dave. I’m not a fan of twitch or live things, and I’m sure many people here appreciate these formats. We miss you on RUclips Dave
Thank you so much for the info in this video. I loved how you pointed out that the artists of that time used cut and paste and other techniques when building their prints. I do the same thing when designing my lino prints. I cut things out from my sketchbook, reference photos, text samples, etc and paste them to a sheet of paper the same size as my linoleum block which allows me to test elements, move things around, see what works and what doesn't. You showed how my methods are similar to the great artists of the past, giving me a connection to them that if otherwise have no knowledge of. Thank you.
Just finished The Great Wave Lego art set and was delighted to find you had contributed to the Audio content that was part of the set. The cherry on top of the cake of what is a fantastic merger of two things I love so much
I have received the first two prints in the series and I want to let you know how impressed I am. I have a collection of ukiyo-e and ehon, both old and new, and your prints are gorgeous. They rival the nicest examples in my collection. I look forward to the rest of the series, and I hope this project is successful enough to justify a "More of Everything" series.
One suggestion... Could you please add a link to the British Museum item page with each of the images on the Mokuhankan page for the series? It would be quicker to refer to than transcribing the URL off the paper that comes with the print.
I’m in love with your work… i've was following you years ago and I appreciate so much all your knowledge, your passion and your content. Thanks for all.
Just found this channel today under the asmr tag, seeing you not have any asmr videos is actually really funny. But your voice is just so soothing, if you were my teacher back in school I’d be paying attention constantly.
Just wanted to say, this channel is a Gem. I like many others discovered this channel from the Remembering a Carver video and I have to say, we all wish you nothing but the best David. Thank you for all the commentary throughout the years!
I just realized that Mr. Bull is left-handed. So he is probably most often replicating lines originally done by a right-handed artist. As a fellow lefty.... respect.
Suggestions: Been watching your streams. I know how busy you are. 1. Raise prices specifically to curb demand? 2. How about making a few youtube videos out of the show and tell segments from your Twitch streams? (I hope you're recording those) Could be an easy win.
I just came back from the Boston MFA Hokusai exhibit today. I was totally overwhelmed with all the prints and sketches. It was informative to learn about the process by with these were made. Thanks David.
Finally found time to watch this video, with a glass of good whisky. Superb. And what dropped into my mailbox this morning? Yes, the 2nd print of the series!!! Many thanks, David & team!
I recently watched 'Miss Hokusai' again recently, as I haven't seen it since it was first released. After watching this channel and learning more and more, the movie was actually way better than I remembered because there was just more I understood about the art. Love the videos, and you guys' work. Thank you.
Hello friends, Lauren M. in Massachusetts here. Print 2 and the box arrived yesterday, so I will have the pleasure of looking at images of the preparation as I look at the finished products.
Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge of the craft, it is inspiring and will help keep this beautiful art form alive in the imaginations of the many students enjoying your work!
Seeing the works of a master being revived with such care is fascinating and also incredible. I can't wait for the rest of the series but I suppose I will have to. We've waited around a hundred years anyway, what's a few more months?
Using the Edo period examples you show the evolution of a design from sketch to “carve ready” states. Clearly all good “art” is hard and careful Work. Both then and now. The Hokusai Reborn project is living this same process. Its hard, its careful, and its wonderful. Best wishes to you and the talented Mokuhankan team.
Always a nice surprise the get another video from Dave! Look forward to them so much. Was lucky to tune into the stream this was being filmed. I must confess I had to leave immediately. Didn't want the next video spoiled 😂 love all you do Dave!
Comic book artists (eastern and western) have so many connections to the style and technique of these master artists. I wonder what David thinks about comics and manga.
Sounds like the great renaissance artists. There’s lots of evidence that some of the great works had apprentices helping in the less difficult work, leaving the master to focus on the most challenging bits.
Amazing work! Its outstandingly impressive with the amount of effort you gave it and the spectacle of the print finish. You look a little thin. Make sure you take care of youself. And I cant wait for more of your video s
Love your content....so informative...thank you. I wish you would reconsider tinting some of these newly developed Hokusai illustrations. They come alive when color is added. They are far more vibrant and dimensional....(In my opinion of course).
I adore the videos you've made here, Mr Bull. Thank you. I wonder if you would consider sharing your thoughts further on the nature of how technology changes our relationship to styles over time? If you wish to understand some of how this plays out for an artist like me right now: I have spent many hours in research trying to find the right mindset to our modern era, but feel pulled to revert to old ways of doing things that I am just as fascinated with if not more so, in reaction. Just this week, I have made several linocut printing experiments and attempted to learn how to make the same concept image in unreal engine 5 (A gaming development software that is used for all kinds of things, even movie production). I also wish to try and merge the magic of the physical mediums with the new tech but have so far this week not received acceptable inspiration as to how to do so besides photogrammetry of sculpture, which doesn't really "excite" me, let's say. I find myself enjoying the old medium much more. The new mediums have the worst possible interface to create with, I find. Absolute night and day different, doesn't even feel like art, feels like doing taxes.
Thank you for the very inspiring videos. Is there a list of materials and instructions on how to ie mix inks, find cherry woodblock and brushes? I am so excited about getting started in this beautiful process. Have been doing traditional western printmaking for years and would love to shift to this special method. Thank you Dave for all the videos and your devotion to printmaking and sharing with us!
Not to rush your wonderful craftmenship but i was wondering when your next video may be, although I am sure that the wait will be worth it considering your legacy of consistent and quality work
Hey David! I sent you over an email about creating having you be the focus of my latest film project/documentary. I would love to discuss the project more in detail and see if we can make it happen! As a collector and lover of woodblock prints myself and after meeting you back in January of this year I find that this is something that aligns perfectly with my vision. I cant wait for the next video and to finally connect more!
@@seseragistudio hey David! I sent it back in the beginning of April through your websites comment/outreach box. Would there be a better way to contact you?
When I saw this news I immediately thought of David Bull and honestly wonder what effect his work/passion has had on the value of these rare prints at auction.....
It's actually crazy that Hokusai died in the 1840s and some designs he made that was intended for publication would be made 173 years later by David Bull
@@smittyplusplus I think it's the tracing. Lay people always seem to believe that that is a magic cheat that enables and ole fule to become an artist. It is just one of these lazy myths the untalented console themselves with.
This process you describe of the artist's drawing being cleaned up, edited, and some times cut-and-pasted by secondary designers makes me wonder about something. I've noticed that the brightly colored and patterned prints from the Meiji period have recurring patterns and color schemes. Are those "stock" patterns? Something preprinted on sheets that a secondary designer could cut and paste into sections of the drawing; perhaps akin to 1970's Zipatone?
what was the contemporaneous market for the prints/the books? Were the prints shown in galleries in Japan, and sold there? Did buyers put them on the walls? Were they affordable, at least for professional people? The market for these prints must have begun somehow. I'm just interested to know if ordinary people got to see and enjoy these, or were they collector's items from the beginning? Thanks for the great work!

Finding the Bob Ross of traditional Japanese wood carved print making, is why the internet is awesome.
you think that that is a compliment, but it really really isn't
Hello David, we met in Tokyo in June 2023 during my trip. I was the young Canadian guy in the Scarface T-Shirt who told you I had been watching you since I was 14. You apologized to me that it was busy but I didn't mind at all I was glad I could talk to you. The ladies in there were lovely as well.

I have not clicked on a notification this fast or watched a video this newly posted before ✨️😳💖✨️
Same 😊
Same! 😂
no one gives a shit about how quickly you click on videos dude
I was so so happy to be able to visit Dave's shop yesterday! It was wonderful to see the shop and see Dave hard at work at his bench. I was able to page through all sizes of prints and fell in love with some new pieces of my home collection!
I hope he's doing well! It's been over half a year since his last video
I'm glad he's alive and kicking doing what he loves still
I'm glad to read this comment. It's good to hear old Dave is doing alright
Add my name to people happy to hear he’s alive and working.
Glad he's ok! I was worried since he hasn't posted lately
I’m actually studying to be a tattoo artist in the states. I found this channel a few years ago and now I’m educating myself on traditional Japanese art!
Ur Japanese tattoos are gonna be top notch 👌
Congratulations on the work with the British Museum 🏛 you are a true artist and inspiration, sir! Cheers from Brasil 🇧🇷

Hey Dave! Great to see you again!
It could literally be you reading the label of a shampoo bottle, but I'm craving new video from you David
Mr. David Bull, always a pleasure to see a new post.
I'm late to the party but so glad you're doing well, Mr. Bull.
It's incredible channel that never gets old! Best wishes. 😊
Just finished The Great Wave Lego art set and was delighted to find you had contributed to the Audio content that was part of the set.
The cherry on top of the cake of what is a fantastic merger of two things I love so much
we need more videos! What a pleasure to have such a detailed view on this craft.
Originally they had teams of highly specialized people each doing one part of the process. And here is Mr. Bull doing all of them. A deep bow.
I have received the first two prints in the series and I want to let you know how impressed I am. I have a collection of ukiyo-e and ehon, both old and new, and your prints are gorgeous.

I am soo excited! My husband just visited Tokyo, and I am now a proud owner of two of your works! They are on their way in the mail!!! I can’t wait!
My husband said you are a really nice guy 💕 so awesome to be able to meet the artist themselves. Maybe one day I will be able to meet you!!
Just found this channel today under the asmr tag, seeing you not have any asmr videos is actually really funny. But your voice is just so soothing, if you were my teacher back in school I’d be paying attention constantly.
I'm new to fine art printing and Masuta Bull's video series is invaluable. I hope to do my best with my work. This helps immeasurably 🙏
Just wanted to say, this channel is a Gem. I like many others discovered this channel from the Remembering a Carver video and I have to say, we all wish you nothing but the best David. Thank you for all the commentary throughout the years!
I absolutely love the way he talks and his soothing voice❤. Legend
Super cool to see Dave has embraced new technology with open arms. I'm half his age and struggle twice as much.
I just realized that Mr. Bull is left-handed. So he is probably most often replicating lines originally done by a right-handed artist. As a fellow lefty.... respect.
So... not complaining here, but it is December... so I'm hoping for at least a 2023 review video. Your videos have been greatly missed!

Awesome to see a new video! Been watching the streams to get my more regular fix, but these are a real treat
Fascinating, as always, Dave-san! Thank you for all that you do! ❤
Would love to learn how to do this with your training. The fact that it’s a lost art is really intriguing
Seeing the works of a master being revived with such care is fascinating and also incredible. I can't wait for the rest of the series but I suppose I will have to. We've waited around a hundred years anyway, what's a few more months?
Soooo true!

Aha! Found all your other stuff 👍 . Now I can see the rest of the Hokusai project
The Bob Ross of Printmaking still got it! 🙌🏾
Wonderful work!
You’re a master craftsman. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like the great renaissance artists. There’s lots of evidence that some of the great works had apprentices helping in the less difficult work, leaving the master to focus on the most challenging bits.
This is very interesting. I learned of this channel and your work from the soundtrack for the lego hokusai wave.
I always look forward to your new content - this is great!
Great to see you again, David! Always quality content!
We miss you Dave
so glad to see that he‘s okay
Great stuff Sir, 36 minutes just flown away.👏👏👏👏
Bizarre watching this after the stream the other day! Love the vids as always
Looking forward to buying one of these prints, Dave!
Amazing work! Its outstandingly impressive with the amount of effort you gave it and the spectacle of the print finish.
You look a little thin.
Make sure you take care of youself.
And I cant wait for more of your video s
Hope you're good Mr. Bull!
New David Bull video! Huzzah!!!!
Just wow! What a process! Gorgeous prints too :)
We need moooooore :) Please. So many topics still open.
Love your content....so informative...thank you. I wish you would reconsider tinting some of these newly developed Hokusai illustrations. They come alive when color is added. They are far more vibrant and dimensional....(In my opinion of course).
Seeing David use a tablet truly blows my mind. I never thought I would see it happen.

30:30 I think the popularity of the sizing stream was it was the most interactive. I made a point in catching it live so to ask technical questions.
These tools make things easy.
Art is not easy.
Are you saying he should carve without using a carving knife? What tools?
If it’s so easy then make it yourself and make a video of you doing it

Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦… hoping to visit your Shop in 2024 😊
David, may I ask what craving has been the work you are most proud of?
This process you describe of the artist's drawing being cleaned up, edited, and some times cut-and-pasted by secondary designers makes me wonder about something. I've noticed that the brightly colored and patterned prints from the Meiji period have recurring patterns and color schemes. Are those "stock" patterns? Something preprinted on sheets that a secondary designer could cut and paste into sections of the drawing; perhaps akin to 1970's Zipatone?
what was the contemporaneous market for the prints/the books? Were the prints shown in galleries in Japan, and sold there? Did buyers put them on the walls? Were they affordable, at least for professional people? The market for these prints must have begun somehow. I'm just interested to know if ordinary people got to see and enjoy these, or were they collector's items from the beginning? Thanks for the great work!
