Woodblock Print - carved and printed by Emils Salmins 'Sprīdītis''

[@rchancock]

Excellent, I have been a woodworker for > 40 years and just discovering this art. It inspires me. My journey begins, thank you

[@brandonevil9416]

Hey. Thanks. I discovered you during quarantine. I love these videos. I am an American traditional tattooer in New York and have been showing all my friends the work you post on youtube. It is incredibly inspiring and the time and care you put into your work really comes across in these tranquil videos. Please never stop posting for us.. We will be ordering prints soon.

[@lindaberghmans9584]

Amazing! The precision and the patience!

[@GailitisPrintmaking]

Thrilled to see you doing woodcut. I have a feeling that we might see a Japanese woodcut someday. ^^

[@stiliyana-linocutprintmaker]

I learn something new every time you post a video! It is such a joy to watch!

[@TheWhippetwoman]

A masterclass, thank you Emil, you are truly inspiring 🙏

[@julieevans7095]

I could sit and watch you carve all day- amazing! A thoroughly relaxing and riveting film, thank you 🙏🏻

[@Kathens]

Your carving gear is so beautiful and this whole process was really soothing. Thanks for the great time!

[@ksea6565]

Carving on the turntable was a nice touch. Another great video 👍

[@natesbored]

Absolutely amazing. True craftsmanship.

[@everdream74]

Your videos are so satisfying and your art so beaufitul! I'm in love with it!

[@mojubaa]

This theme reminds me of some arthurian legend some medieval myth and it feels good it hits properly feels quite like when borders between fantasy and reality arent so solid i personally love mythological themes very good and very precise in terms of technic i love it

[@padraigadhastair4783]

Beautiful mate! I think I get it. Your work is probably close to meditation. The focus and purpose overwhelm; it's evident in your work technique that it's a place of peace. Keep up the good work.

[@Rene_Voortwist]

[@erikayuille4691]

Outstanding!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@jones1618]

Your lines are so clean and your cloud shading has that Japanese woodblock look I love! Terrific work. (FYI: I saw and commented on this video posted elsewhere, I hope it was there with your permission.)

[@santiagogo777]

Bravo! Fantastic work

[@artspunk5113]

Precioso hermano. Muy bien trabajo

[@tubbyk9127]

Sensational. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@barneycripps2863]

The tiny details are amazing. You must have eyes like a hawk! I've seen wood carvers use metal stamps for texturing pieces. It wouldn't work for lino (I don't think) but maybe it would for woodblock prints. Like a stamp for your autograph or something.

[@anthonykinrade8642]

Great chisel control...!

[@Angel-hn1th]

Eso fue increible. Gracias por el video

[@lilydevins3218]

Thank you so much for these videos - they are so peaceful and really motivate me to do my own art!! Always love watching them. Do you use woodcutting materials for your lino pieces too?

[@EmilsSalmins]

I use exactly the same tools as I'm carving lino or wood. Only technique is slightly different.

[@johnjewell219]

Beautiful work your patience to trace and retrace amazes me what type of ply wood do you use? where are you located? Warmest regards John central coast N.S.W.

[@EmilsSalmins]

hi, I'm from Latvia, wood came from japan- Sakura is a cherry tree. wx30.wadax.ne.jp/~woodlike-co-jp/zen4/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=102_122

[@mauroes]

Beautiful 💓

[@jojossecretrainbow2932]

such a unique piece you're very talented! could i know what ink you use?

[@Elpetocho]

Bro this work is awesome u can tell me what kind of materials use ?

[@grigoryvorobchenko2844]

Incredibly rare music.

[@bigdeal875]

I have the bell on and everything, but just now saw this video come up. 😩

[@iromeolust5236]

hi there. I liked and subscribe to your channel. love your talent

[@fischkopf]

Great work, great music, not sure about the devil having nipples.

[@naugahydeboneproject8892]

Just received two prints from you the other day. They are beautiful Emil! I inquired about you possibly using Bob Dylan as a future subject. / commission? Your imagery invokes the mystical storytelling I hear within his current music.

[@user-qq9qi5xw2r]

Do you think acrylic paints good for this type of work? Or black gesso paint?

[@kiataszentesi9787]

Can I ask you, where did you buy that amazing sharpening stone?

[@EastTxCobb]

I miss your videos

[@paypaymoney8548]

Wow!

[@lakshmitattooer671]

Beautiful. How long did this take to complete and the large scale linos you do. They are amazing.

[@marekripa3930]

Hey, can I ask you please, that wheel that you use for rotation, how is it called? whats this? :D amazing. thank you

[@KpxUrz5745]

I love the process, but I keep thinking there has to be something with more artistic potential to do with it. Anyway, I appreciate the care it took to present this.

[@leowatley]

just came across this channel. cool shit, dude. really dig your ink as well. i bet you get asked all the time, but how long did all your tats take?

[@elisecollet2933]

[@antoniocalo4213]

AMAZING!!!! You are magic! Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece! Just one question: are you self-taught or did you have a teacher? Thank you 🙇‍♂️🙌🙇‍♂️

[@EmilsSalmins]

No I don't have any education in printmaking, I just watch a lot of KZbin videos and try out things.

[@antoniocalo4213]

@@EmilsSalmins Thank's mate! You are a fantastic craftsman!

[@leespiderpod]

Nice work, although I think the man’s clothing could’ve had some crosshatching rather than being blank

This is annoyingly over complicated. Just draw in the wood and carve it. Stop trying to make love to the thing.

[@ImranAhmed-rx5mo]

Hello,

[@sameerkhan-om3hq]

Good working but picture is very bad and pathetic

[@QG3]

Hey - sorry if this has been asked before, but I am really curious what you stain your wood with before you start cutting. Is it watered down acrylic paint? Thanks so much, I adore your work and your videos. :)

[@EmilsSalmins]

Yes, i'm using acrylic ink, but not from the tube (* it leaves a thicker layer of ink and it suck for small details) but in liquid form, I found this ink in my local art shop '' Liquitex acrylic ink''
