Ukiyo-E Heroes by Jed Henry on Kickstarter
While I've featured the Ukiyo-E Heroes illustrated by Jed Henry in the past, now comes time when his Kickstarter begins! One of the aims is to reproduce his art as "wooden prints" (via the efforts of woodblock printmaker, David Bull). But nevertheless, there are 12 designs to be had, a US$10K+ goal and 23 days more to go to pledge. Here are some images we've not seen before:
WHAT: 'All of Jed's designs are available as high-end giclée prints. These are professionally produced on large printers, with archival inks and a very high quality, acid-free Japanese washi, with four full deckle edges. Every giclée print will be signed and sealed by Jed. They are 12" x 17" in size, a format called Ōban (大判), which has been used for centuries. '
