I honestly believe I am watching one of the great artists vlogs...someone that will be talked about in an art history class years from now and then them coming back to watch him in action.

[MisterDutch]

Your work has been 'immortalized' in a museum. Now that's cool!

[mbaxter]

David Bull’s earnestness and enthusiasm gets me fired up despite my being a complete stranger to Japanese wood block printing. Such is the level of genuine passion that comes through on his videos. Mr. Bull, I salute you, sir!

[Gnrlvulcan]

Congrats on the success of the kickstarter, it was great to finally visit the shop and see the magic in person today! Thanks for being such a gracious host Dave! Cannot wait for these prints to be done.

I got a sizable raise at work just recently, and it let me get in on this kickstarter last second!

[TheStageClear]

you are great! I'm from germany and i gotta say, not bad pronunciation! I wish i knew about the exhibition. I didn't even knew you were streaming, way to go! Amazing how you step up your game and use new technologies to get your art to the ppl! Without those videos and streams many ppl wouldn't know about this art at all. You did the hole japanese woodprinting art a great service.

[Paragoti]

It's been my great pleasure watching your creative collaboration with Jed unfold over the years, and to think that two non-Japanese would initiate a 'renaissance' of the traditional craft of ukiyo-e printing fills this long-time supporter with great pride. I can't wait to see what the future holds in store for you and your team. これからも頑張ってください。

[mechminded]

An impressive legacy - although familiar with the Great Wave by printer copies, you taught me of the skill and expertice behind the creation of it - and as you put it, you and your friends / colleagues can lay claim to renewing the industry for another generation of work.

[AndreiBadoiu]

Happy to be a tiny part of this beautiful adventure! My thanks and blessings to the team, may you continue to bring us passion and beauty through your work!

[escabeche]

Great man, you sure made the most out of this chance! And not only are you reviving japanese woodblock printmaking, you are also introducing people like me to it's history! For example, I would have never discovered shin-hanga on my own, and it's fantastic.
On a side note, I may want to start saving for that "colossal" print over there...

[jakesutton]

Beautiful work, I'm glad I've been introduced to this through your channel. Congrats on everything!!!

[ptrjhackett]

Wonderful news. I feel like (as an observer) I'm part of something historically significant. Can't wait for the next video.

[idesofmars]

i wish you released videos more regularly. i enjoy these immensely

[creepinwhileyousleepin]

I bet that's a blissful feeling reviving an almost extinct art your passionate about.

[RikerLovesWorf]

You seem really happy in this video. Glad you're having such success!

[zillousgrom]

Two Gaijin keeping one of the most beautiful Japanese traditions alive.

[peterheikoadolf]

No way! I live near Hamburg here in Germany, however I hadn't heard of your channel at the time of that exhibition. It's quite unfortunate that I missed it, now that I know a bit more about this wonderful form of art and would absolutely love to see it. :/ Well, you and your work sure *do* have fans all over the world :) By the way (as some people already said), that pronounciation was actually really good

[arendel]

I really look forward to getting these bossfight prints.

3:50 that must be: "Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg" if you wanna search it. The Website is also in english available.

[Deedeedee]

That's so awesome! Congratulations
