I’m just going to say it. Your creativity is boundless and always so inspiring. Thanks for continuing to keep our jaws dropping!

As an old printmaker now, thanks to your creative ideas sharing with us, helps me to get to use the gel plate the way I’ve been searching for. Thank you.

Mark, it's a delight when your videos pop up. I learned so much from this one, particularly. Thank you for sharing your ideas and work with us. Keep it up!

I tried this with mixed results, then thought I'd try with water-based relief printing ink--bingo! It worked great! Much better than acrylic! No problem with the ink drying too fast. I could easily pull a print. I tried it with the paper collagraph, masking tape, and the ball point pen technique--all worked great. You can also press harder for a cleaner print! Hope this is helpful for you and your followers. Your videos are great--thank you!

Wish there was a “love” instead of “like” thumbs up! These are great!

This is just amazing! Thank you for sharing your talent with us ❤

1 Thankyou for sharing your talent and skills. You inspire so many!

You've got the vision brother! I dig it.

Your technique is fascinating. Although I am not nearly on your level I am very excited to try it. It is something really new.

I love using a Gelli plate and I’m absolutely fascinated with this technique. Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

I've just begun playing with gel plate printing. Your videos are inspirational. Thank you.

Ooh nearly missed this video! I always forget I can flip the plate for registration! You always manage to take gel printing to another level. Tfs 😊

Amazing! Thank you so much! My head is spinning with the possibilities!

This was SO inspiring, just like all of your videos. Obsessed with trying this technique! Thank you!

Thanks so much for sharing your videos .. I do love your approach in a creative way and its great your coming up with new ways of trying out things . keep it up Dude ...Rock on.

Wow, really enjoyed! So full of inspiration and ideas🙏🙏😊

Love this idea. Really enjoy your videos!!!

I wish I didn't have so much homework, I would love to try out so many of your ideas. Thanks for all the creative inspiration!!!!!!

What awesome ideas!

Thank you mr Yeats for sharing your inspiration and Techniques. I love your work and share your admiration of Jim Dins art. - yehudit

The Icarus print was absolutely amazing.

Wow. Each of these is wonderful in its own way. I particularly love the shirt piece and the Icarus piece--especially the fact that you spread the Icarus across two plates. Definitely something to think more about, there. Also, really appreciate the way the odd areas of remaining dark ink within the body of the shirt read as form indications, not just blobs of ink. The shirt really appears to drape and rumple. I continue to be amazed by your work, and also by the subtlety that comes from such minor variations in the thickness of your collagraph relief plates. I'm also glad to see you making some work about your brother. The shirt, hanging by itself, was already pretty evocative. But in the context of the other elements, the story is rich and full of the sweet, yet painful, memories of someone sadly gone too soon. I've experienced a lot of that lately, as many of us have, this past 18 months. That work with the shirt (and, now I think of it, the Icarus piece, as well) really speak to me about loss and memories, and give me ideas for how to work on similar topics, myself. Thanks, Mark. Much appreciated!

I just love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Just discovered this excellent video and now can’t wait to try the technique!

Another great, very helpful video.

I love this technique! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Have liked and subscribed. Yet another brilliant video. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing all your brilliant ideas! I am so motivated to try out all these techniques!

Your videos are great because you push boundaries and try everything! Very motivating for me, thank you so much! xx

You are truly amazing!!!!

Fabulous. So many ideas in so little time. Thank you. 😊

Can't believe you were able to get the shirt and paper airplane to work so well. Very clean and simple, looks great.

Brilliant!❤️🙏🏻

Fantastic work, thanks for more inspiration!

Lots of good techniques to interpret for my own work! Excellent stuff!

Thank you so much for sharing, yet another fantastic idea to try out! Wow! 🥰xxx

Brilliantly inspirational! Thank you.

Thanks for another wonderful video. I created a home made gelli plate and got quite good results. This sort of plate works even better than commercial ones but in the tropics of Australia my plate shrank over time and got a bit mouldy. A skin discarded by a resident carpet snake made a wonderful print but there was much hit and miss. I did not fully understand the need for thin first layer, light touch imprint and need to let it dry before next layer on plate. You have made this clear.

Love this technique! Clothing makes a great subject -- and Icarus is a favorite of mine, as well. Thanks. Frequent Flyer Skywriting the perfect escape, Icarus flew waxed wings, defiant, into the sun. He never looked down, never once reconsidered that blindsided ascent; not with the warm wind in his face. Why would he look down? Midnight falls; eternity blue traced half past the new moon, to silvered horizons. No. The never looked down.

Great video: love the pieces that you cut out to create layers. Nice technique! Thanks.

Very clever, you’re full of creative ideas and you have reimagined the use of the gel plate! Looking forward to watching for your videos. New subscriber …

This is all AWESOME stuff! Thanks much for all the inspiration!

This is amazing. I can't wait to try this technique. Thank you for the inspiration! 🙂

I love your techniques here, very inspiring, thank you

Love your work! Love your graphic skills and creative genius. You're my go-to for inspiration. Am having hits and misses with image transfers but enjoying trying out your many wonderful instructions. Thanks so much, Mark.

I am blown away by your creative genius. You have taught me so much. I have a gel plate which I have yet to use. I feel very inspired thanks to you. 😘

Terrific! Love your videos and appreciate your work 💜

This is so amazing! So imaginative! Thank you for sharing!

I love the technique, such interesting effects. Thank you for sharing. Your tribute is wonderful.

Love this collograph technique! Thank you for sharing.

wow you have some wonderful ideas and creative processes with the gel plates - thanks so much for sharing!

Fabulous!

Great! Now I know how I will design my pages for the new journal. Thank you for the inspiration!

most excellent demo. This may be the best teaching video ever....

These are brilliant! I absolutely adore the results you're getting. My mind is spinning with ideas.

Thank you Mark. Once again a video full of inspiration.

Your videos are so instructional and inspirational. The addition of a China pen was a true game changer with oil pastels. Amsterdam black best ink. Still experimenting with papers and hand pressure. Thank you so much.

Very exciting technique! So many possibilities!

I'm so glad I have found your videos, I've just bought a gel plate and your instructions are a massive help, besides being totally interesting.

Just came across your absolutely amazing gel printing techniques cant wait to have ago thank for sharing

Your videos are fascinating! I am inspired to go try some of these techniques. Thank you for sharing.

Your work is inspiring! I love how you experiment with every technique. The shirt, wing, and Icarus images have an amazing depth. Thanks for sharing.

Love that you used two plates to fit image -problem solved.

Great results… beautiful drawings… lots to contemplate😱.. thx for sharing 🤩

Wonderful video, wonderful ideas, thank you for sharing them with us. Like the idea of folding a paper-airoplane for printing, might work with simple origami too.

Thank you! This video was really cool. I am impressed with each idea. I love that the paper works so well, it will be a so much more eco-friendly than plastic stencils for me.

Très inspirant et motivant pour se dépasser et pour oser. Un gros merci de partager tes œuvres et techniques 😉

You have so many good ideas!

This is right up my alley of printing. I will definitely be trying this out. I like to see any more of your work.

hats off!

Glad you got the deli paper, it's the best and so is your Icarus piece. Another great video

Fabuleux et très inspirant j'adore 👍

Hi Mark, Another great video. Your enthusiasm and subject matter are always refreshing. I believe that I am the one who supplied the link to the deli paper in UK - I stumbled upon it somehow but live in the States. I had heard in UK/EUROPE that sometimes it is referred by another name. Believe it is slightly silicone treated - not wax. The shirt is my favorite print. Keep doing videos as many people enjoy.

There is nothing like deli paper for pulling off all the paint ❤️

Could u do more videos of this technique,..thank you very much..enjoyed video found it interesting and informative..

brilliant!

Love all of these collagraph techniques and your results. The shirt and the Icarus are great. I really like your built up techniques. Do you have a go-to black, I have three, one cheap and two good brands but the all roll out very grey which is fine for the parts you want a lighter look, but no good if I want some strong definition. You are the only person I have seen thus far working with defined images on Gelli that owe a lot to drawing skills…. It is just great so see things like your shirt, gives me hope! Best Wishes for the holidays!

💪💪💪

😊❤️

Fabulous! Love that you share these discoveries with us. Question: does the material you use as the backer for the built up torn paper relief a specific material or is it just paper or cardstock?

Thanks again for all your inspiration!🎨✂️ you mention the deli paper, where do you get it? Greetings from Italy.😉👋🌊

I just got wind of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your experiments. What kind (brand) of paper do you use to do your last pull of the geometrics and portraits for an archival print?

I have learned so much. However, mine do no turn out as lovely as yours. Just need to practice.

Wonderful again! Did you try making multiple prints with one image? Does your plate clog up?

Had a go with the seaweed collograph masking tape and the ballpoint pen relief ( which i got 4 good prints from.would have posted result up but can’t seem to do so on here.

So inspiring again! Loving it ! What Gel medium did you use to pull the prints? I used matt medium by Liquitex and it didn‘t work. The print just stayed on the plate. So maybe you used something else? Advice would be much appreciated! Ta Kathrin

Hi love watching your work so much effort and time beautiful work thank you so much. Would you be able to put the link for the deli paper pleaseeeee. I just wish I had a scrap of your talent if you could leave me any of your talent you don’t need that would be a great help lol much love Chris xxx

Thank you for sharing your artistic soul. Have you ever tried coffee filters?

Inspirational, as always! Could you possibly share what medium you are using?

Mark, I got myself an obsession - watching your videos! But it's an excellent thing. Thank you for the inspiration and dedication to sharing your discoveries. I'm starting to experiment with gel printing, but I can't find the gel medium that you use for transfers - there is none in the stores around here where I live now (Eastern Europe ). Would you recommend any substitute for it?

Wahou c'est fabuleux, dommage je ne comprends rien aux explications... Mais c'est très beau à regarder

is that deli paper you are using?

Ink? Are you using ink? Thanks.

Carnival paper is even better than the deli paper.

Very cool and definitely inspiring, me and P got some really great ideas from this! Would you ever be interested in doing something across channels? We certainly have some ideas 😁 and would be honored 😊
