Artmaking…


"The reasons you have for doing what you're doing are probably the most important aspect of your work. It's not about the final product. In fact, too much emphasis on the outcome blinds you to what is really at the bottom of it all." — Gregori Bresaz

After Hokusai

After Hokusai

Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富嶽三十六景 Fugaku Sanjūrokkei) is a series of landscape prints by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai (1760–1849). The series depicts Mount Fuji from different locations and in various seasons and weather conditions. Despite its name, it actually consists of 46 prints, with 10 of them being added after the initial publication. Wikapedia (See Hokusai’s woodblock prints here.)

Like many others, I have found these images alluring and have taken the liberty of creating my own version of a few based on Hokusai’s original woodblock prints with the exception, immediately below, of a wall painting in Berkeley, CA by an unknown artist.
