    Hi Mark! Just wanted to tell you that watching your videos and implementing some of your techniques has truly elevated my work. You inspire innovative thinking and bold experimentation but not at the expense of having fun. What I appreciate most is your humility and generosity. You are a master of this medium. May God bless and keep you.

    Cannot tell you how timely this video is! Breaking the job up for starters, and then the usefulness of a smaller roller. I have just doubled up my 8x10 and plan to go to A2 as soon as I have got the hang of A3, and where to put everything when working big! I had been balking at the idea of trying to work with several larger bits of paper all at the same time, and so this video was like a gift! I will never own one of those huge plates but I think I can get ingenious given time…
    Love your subject matter and the simplicity with which you approached it, and that reminded me, I must try to grow some, I love it, and I must give the oil pastel resist another try. Your prints look great, the larger one especially, I hope you will be posting more… Thanks.

    Something I've found doing similar types of transfer is that using a coloured oil pastel or pen or chalk means your transfer sheet often comes out as interesting as the transfer. Red works brilliantly if you're using black ink, but other combinations work great too.
