[@jordangroff8978]

I hate getting nostalgic, but I gotta say, seeing Dave work out of his own house at the 44:00 mark really makes me miss the old vids from 2013-2014 when he had the old Seseragi Studio. It was so peaceful seeing him work on the very first Jed Henry Ukiyo-e Heroes prints with just the sounds of rain, or running water, or birds chirping in the background. Good times.

[@ienjoyasmr]

Love those videos and I 100% agree with you.

[@yami2227]

[@davidwhiren817]

Hello kind Sir !!! When I watch you using the skew knife for so much of your refined detail work as well as ruffing in , it helps to solidify my knowledge of what a main stay that the skew knife has been to woodcarvers for many hundreds of years or even longer & how far superior it is to the now highly touted Wharncliffe style of knife blade used by the soft woodcarvers of North America !!! Like you , I chose the skew knife blade !!! The real woodcarvers knife of origin !!!

[@mrahzzz]

" [...] although, of course, that doesn't extend to the KZbin algorithm [...]." You must be doing something okay, or making the algorithm like you in some way, because I somehow stumbled upon you yesterday thanks to KZbin recommendations and a curious click. KZbin steered me right, yesterday...! :o This is absolutely lovely to watch. Thanks for sharing your artistry with the world. The intermittent ninja attacks are really funny, and are kind of a joyful break from the otherwise peaceful, meditative work. This video was wonderfully put together! As an ex-artist, it's really satisfying to watch someone with such mastery over their craft create art like you are. I've always wanted to look more deeply into printmaking, but never really did beyond a basic overview in highschool I was lucky enough to have, where we made iterative, 3-color prints with a thin square of rubber, so I'm glad you're sharing your work so I can live vicariously through you, if only for ~1 hr. I don't know you/your channel/your studio, but I have a lot of respect for the work it looks like you and your team are doing - bravo!

[@KUMC1192]

I’m so impressed many people are watching your video already regardless it took days and months from previous video. It’s definitely because of the quality, dedication and interesting contents of yours which it’s difficult to mimic by us lol But the video of part of talk between you and me will be released on our KZbin channel at next Saturday. Hope it’ll catch Ukiyo-e fans more.

[@accountnamewithheld]

There is precisely 0 need to apologise, Dave! As someone who doesn't have the time to keep up with your livestreams (They usually start at midnight, for me...) I appreciate the highlights. And your uploads are always welcome, even "stock footage" as you might consider it! Thanks and I hope your business is doing well.

Mr. Bull, I didn't come here to your channel by way of any prior knowledge of your work. I arrived here on chance, possibly due to the similarity of tone in your videos to ASMR stuff I watch elsewhere. However, regardless of the cause, I'm glad I'm here. You're a very amiable person, and I enjoyed seeing your work.

[@chillguywholikespie9520]

Another great video Dave! Thanks for being you!

[@cheekygnome]

If I were a younger man I wish I could apprentice under you. Your fine detail work around the eyelashes and facial features towards the end of the video is stunning.

[@GlassesnMouthplates]

I always feel like I'm being spoiled whenever Dave uploads a new video regardless of the type of its content. Had a series of rough times for the past 2-3 months and listening to Dave's voice and watching his carving work up close really feel therapeutic. Also, I think I can guess what the final print is going to be and I'm really looking forward to seeing the final product as well as the following updates of the print. 21:20 Also again, I love the reflection shot being perfectly framed on Dave's window/door of the "bad guy" actor being chased along the road before getting caught by the two kids participating in the Ninja party activity. The scene is funny while the shot appeared really artistic.

[@ITAmich]

And to think that I was in Tokyo in September of 2018 and I visited Asakusa as well (I ate okonomiyaki at Sometaro, would reccomend btw)!!! If only I found your channel before I would have surely included the shop in our trip, we were so close. Next time (because I absolutely have to go back) I will for sure!!!

[@aGoshDarnTravesty]

As always, your insightful explanations are fantastic and it's great that you want to put so much effort into the videos you produce. If you ever want to increase the output though, if for other reason than to feed the KZbin algorithm for more channel traffic, don't underestimate the appeal of simply putting a microphone down by your work and then recording yourself working in silence. What you may think of as boring or repetitive work is for many others the comforting ambience of a master demonstrating their craft.
