That would have been cool to actually see the result with a close-up.

What a wonderful video. Thank you.
But would like to have seen a close-up of the finished product.

The part about censorship at the end really hits

63 years ago I ran away to find find Blake's brother's shop in Soho - then still standing - and slept rough for six months. My art-gallery Arte del Fulmine in Dolcedo, Liguria, Italy is dedicated to Bosch & Blake and contains several paintings inspired by him. His Heavenly touch reaches many sensitive minds.

Can this please be made into an hour long documentary?

Very cool! I wish I could have seen what it looked like at the end.

Phillips is a treasure trove of information. Thank you for sharing his expertise about the mastery of Blake's process.

The reverse writing is totally insane!
I went from producing etchings to the more direct method of drypoint engraving……this definitely inspires me to get back to etching!

This is how I started etching completely self taught. Before I heard you were supposed to intaglio, the exact opposite. So I started doing that… well then i started to wonder how William Blake did his letters… i was right all along!! I was afraid to even look into lithography because I was afraid I’d get way into it. I am. I just don’t know where to get a stone. Not cheaply. I thought I could make my own using my own cement mixture. Now that I realize my intuition is usually correct I think I will. I would like to produce lithography tiles that anyone can use and buy cheaply. Does this exist? Surprisingly, printing seems to be nearly extinct but I find it incredible. Everything good about painting and photography with none of the things that suck about them. At least the things I think that suck. Photography is basically an exact copy of light and paintings take a lot of work and then get sold. Printing is all creative and each print is unique but you get to keep one and sell the rest. That’s it in a nutshell. Are there any printers out there? I need a community.

A few years ago when I hardly knew who Blake was I had an exhibition in Sheffield all to
myself it was all new to me as I had no preconceived ideas or the distraction of people

I still have my etching plate from high school using this process. I cannot imagine using text! Wow!

One of my favorite artists - thank you!

I wish this was an hour longer.

the printers composition roller not invented until the early 19th cent. would have saved him a lot of time.

I was a Blake fanatic in college so I’m very interested in this

A collection of stunning techniques, delicate procedures, marvelous and sensitive art in a careful short video!

Always have loved Blake’s beautiful art

I am so happy for this man.

Fantastic insight into Blake, I learned something today😊

That was brilliant!  Thanks very much.  X
