In reading the article you posted on Th...Dr. Todd -<br />In reading the article you posted on The Fish Art of Mitsuyoshi Yabe, fond memories flooded my mind. Back in the 1970 and 80's I owned and operated a fine art workshop in Chicago called Printmaker's Studio. I leased out studio space to other artists and they had a key to the shop to come and go as they pleased to create prints in a large variety of media. We had one press that was mostly dedicated to running wood block and silk screen images. <br /><br />One morning I arrived at the studio to find one of the associates, Lilia Kuchma, starting to run a freshly caught largemouth bass through the press. She had inked up the fish, laid a piece of German Etch paper over the fish and was hand cranking the press bed into the roller. <br /><br />Of course I immediately broke out into a serious attack of laughter and when I was able to contain myself I suggested to Liala that she try hand printing the fish first before covering the press bed with fish guts.<br /><br />Liala thought this was a good idea and spent the rest of the day creating several images of largemouth bass for her next show. This was sometime in 1978 as I recall.Illinoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006153049370138887noreply@blogger.com
