David Bull (Woodblock carver in Japan, i like his work) is making a new series of prints called “Eight Views of Cats” but this time instead of using a designer he knows is looking for people who would like to enter in their own designs.
I know there are a few artists on here, so thought this might be of interest and maybe something a bit different.
(His idea is for people to submit a simple concept sketch, then from those picked he will pay everyone $100 for a more detailed colour design, then from the final 8 which will go to carve and print 10% of royalties from the sale of the prints.)
Japanese woodblock prints if you don’t know are art which are carved on (commonly) more than one block of wood, and then ‘printed’ onto paper. It usually involved a designer, carver, and printer (a person not a computer printer) to get the final product.
