David Bull Interview

Some time ago I had the enormous privilege of interviewing one of the top ukiyo-e printmakers in Japan. His name is David Bull, a Canadian that discover his love for japanese prints back in is thirties. Since then he has been working intensely to become one major exponent of the technique. But his popularity had a huge jump when he and Jed Henry launch the Ukiyo-e Hero series in Kickstarter, rising more than 3 hundred thousand Canadian dollars (so printmaking can be a big deal!)
I’m not an audiovisual producer, but I hope you like this interview. It is full of opinions and advice for those who are pursuing a career in the arts field. You can also view in detail the process of creation of the prints! This is an exclusive interview he gave me in his workshop at the outskirts of Tokio, and the images are taken from is KZbin channel, which I hope you go to visit: / seseragistudio
This is a personal project which I just want to share. The music is used under fair use. Please buy it here:

My favorite part is here at the end where he explains that in order for you to make a career out of what you want to do you have to have a different skill set than what you have now. That is amazing advice.

[@DrWeird2323]

Amazing stuff, David seems like an amazing person.

[@matthewsawczyn6592]

Dave really is one of KZbin's hidden gems

[@lolipoppants]

4:29 perfectly illustrated point that I need to remind myself of often.

Dave is fast becoming a personal hero.

I love you

[@applefritterresin7398]

What is the song called?

[@applefritterresin7398]

My bad, seen it in the description

[@applefritterresin7398]

Found my new favourite song lol

[@Idk-dd2gn]

Ah this music is so annoying. It’s too loud. I just want to hear him talking.

[@anthonydeville5976]

Agreed, his voice is music. Having the music playing in the background though great music it is it distracts. Background music should always be in the background. Once those horrible canned drums started I was so fucking disappointed. Talking to a man about a very earthy and manual craft and you throw music on top with canned drums whose snare sounds like my toaster when the toast is done.

[@exxorudolf]

Nujabes(?)

[@exxorudolf]

Yes. Ja

[@dervakommtvonhinten517]

damn that music is repetitive and annoying

[@henochyagami416]

Derva Kommt von hinten: I like it

[@crixxxxxxxxx]

Same 7 notes repeated over and over again.

[@swirlingfudge]

The repetition makes it an unwelcome distraction. Becomes increasingly irritating, like hold music when you're calling your bank. Shame because the content is good and David is fascinating

[@anthonydeville5976]

@@swirlingfudge Agreed.
