Amazing originality! You’re students are so fortunate to have you as a teacher!!!!

Corrugated cardboard! Brilliant -- ty for another great vid!

Amazing! I love this! Thanks for showing your lovely work and your teaching.

Love this technique. Love that it doesn't cost a bomb.

You never fail to intrigue and inspire me with your talent, Mark. Fantastic job!

I absolutely love this! Just incredible. Love Bowie too😊

Please, more of this type of corrugated art, this is fascinating!

This video is absolutely fantastic. I am going to give it a try. For your stencil I would recommend Terraskin or Yupo as they are quite durable and reusable. Thank you for sharing

Fabulous Mark, thank you for your generous sharing.

Not only are you a highly skilled artist, you’re a genius as well. ❤❤

You are so resourceful and CREATIVE!!! Excellent results, excellent tutorial!

Thanks for sharing, really good tips and techniques. Much appreciated, especially for us beginners.

Oh - my - god, that's - is - so - cool ! --- simply Genius !!!

Incredible! You’re just insanely talented!👏

Hi I’m a new viewer, and I just love your technique, I’m an old lady which you have inspired to use my Geli plate again and just play, thank you very much for sharing your art!

What a brilliant tip for removing layer of paper to reveal corrugated part of cardboard.... no more picking at for me now! Love your work and your commentary is so helpful and to the point. Thank you.

Brilliant once again! Thankyou so much for sharing!😊

This just blows me away! You take gel printing to new heights! Brilliant!

Brilliant idea Mark, loved this idea, Thanks so much for sharing! Ya got my inspiration whirring! 🥰xxx

Really nice tutorial, and beautiful images too! Thanks for the video :)

You continually leave my jaw hanging open 😲😂. You are brilliantly creative, and you have such a unique style. So glad you are willing to share, along with your thought process. Thank you!

Wow! Thanks for that Mark. I'm off to the recycling bin to see what I can find!😉

I love the half-tone effect and all of the texture. Keep shining!

I was smiling the whole time, watching this. In 1975, my high school art teacher taught a 6 week linocut printmaking project. We got to pick our subjects…I used that very same image of Bowie to carve an 8" x 10" plate! I'd make a bunch of prints each day and give them to friends and fellow students (even some teachers!). They were very popular. How I wish I still had that plate all these years later! Anyway, it was fun to watch your creative use of cardboard…your approach to using the gel plate and various materials is inspiring, and this project in particular brought back a lot of fun high school memories.

Always awed by your talent! Thank you for sharing!

Here’s a challenge. Try a five colour print in the style of the Batsford book jackets and old style travel posters. The more transparent acrylic would in overlay end up producing the other colours in the print. It strikes me that the gelli plate is ideal for this

I have serious talent envy when it comes to your creativity🤣Brilliant!

❤❤❤❤Great thinking outside of the box😂😂😂

Once again, you have done something absolutely BRILLIANT! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas, talents, and expertise!

I really like the way you explain and show the whole process. It's so much fun watching you play around with creative and often spontaneous ideas. Cheers from Germany! 🍻

Absolutely fantastic, seriously brilliant.

I love all of your videos, your creativity has not limits, your are very resourceful and your art pieces astounding. Thanks for your generosity.

Oh My, you just set my senses ablaze with inspiration. I have more cardboard than furniture. LOLOL Thank you, so fun :)

Hi Mark, I haven't watched any videos for a long time because unfortunately I haven't had time for my art. But today I had to look at your channel again. Your are still endless in your creative, inspiring ideas. Wow! And from just over 1000 followers in the beginning you now have over 22000!!! You deserve that so much and hopefully there will be many more. The picture is fantastic again.This size is a challenge. I admire your patience in cutting everthing out so perfectly. I will now watch the video of you with your skechbook tour that I have been wanting for a long time. I'm very pleased that you did that. I wish you many more ideas and maybe you can be a full time artist soon:)). Cheers Gabi

This is more than brilliant. I continued to be amazed by your reuse of items that people would normally throw away. Not that I should keep everything but some things I will keep now.

This is amazing, thank you so much! Can’t wait for my gel plate to arrive so I can play with this technique 😊

I love how experimental and out of the box your thinking is. True creativity.

I think that you are a very good teacher. Your wonderful ideas using cardboard to make creative stamping techniques/negatives using a Gelli Plate have elevated my own art. I thank you for sharing exactly how you achieve marvelous art by incorporating these ideas of yours. I am a fan! Your talents and creative teachings are very much appreciated by me. You are inspiring people and I applaud you for that fact. Again, thank you...

Wow. I love this and Bowie. Thank you for sharing your talent with us all. Incredible!

Amazing! So creative ! Thank you so much for sharing !

Great Technique Great Results👍

These prints are AWESOME!! I can't wait to put my 2 super large Gelli plates together to try these techniques out!! Thanks Mark!

Really great Mark will try to find the web site , wish I was that clever love the Bowie images ❤

Brilliant video tutorial...love the way you push it with the experiments...all very inspiring!

So, so cool! Love Ziggy! Love the technique, just brilliant!

Amazing!!! Love watching you work & these are fantastic. If you put on 3D glasses & view these, they pop even more.

Mamma mia!!! This is awesome man.... Know that I will steal all your ideas!hahaha joke...Your stuff is amazing...congratulations from Italy

This is a fantastic idea! The results are incredibly impressive! Thanks so much for sharing this technique.

So happy to see you back with more good stuff! I'm definitely going to try the corrugated cardboard method. I didn't know that water would make it easier to separate the layers.... should have used my brain.

The prints are fantastic , thanks so much for sharing

The corrugation is a lot of fun. I tried it on a smaller scale, rollering ink on the cardboard first, transferring image to plate before adding background layer and lifting. The combo was pop in pink and red. I am keen to do more. Your videos foster unprecious experimentation with often striking results. Thanks so much.

Thank you thank you thank you. Your exploration in this medium is fascinating. You are such a talent and so generous with your journey. Again thanks for sharing

Stunning results. Thanks for sharing!!!!

I learn so much from your videos. Thank you!

So interesting. Love your work! ❤❤❤ And I actually think you're the Master of the Gel plate!! 😊

Interested in everything you make and all of the techniques you come up with.

Great Technique !! The prints are fantastic!!

Brilliant as usual Mark 😊 Thank you sooooooooo much again for sharing ta ta 😊 x

I absolutely love your style. Than you for sharing.

This is amazing! I was thinking 🤔of what to do with my pizza 🍕 box and my gel plate. Great ideas 💡... Thank-you

I love the texture of the cardboard. So unique! Keep it coming.

LOVE this. You are an inspiration!

Great Skills!!! Love your videos! Thanks

This is incredibly inspiring. Thankyou so much for sharing!

Wow. That was so inspiring! Love the creative chance you took!

Awesome, thanks for generously sharing 😋

I've wondered what you were doing! It has been a couple of weeks. YAY cardboard! I have pulled off a layer and used it a few times, both for the lines and to make a nice grid pattern. It will hold up to print after print, until enough paint accumulates on the cardboard to make your design fill in, but even then, you can always cut the paint away and keep on printing! Using printing inks or acrylic inks instead of paint will reduce the buildup, of course. I think you should make an oversized homemade gel plate for yourself! There are lots of KZfaq videos on the process. It might be a bit costly, but not as costly as retail! Enjoyed seeing this episode! Ta!

What an amazing tutorial! And with my all time favorite artist, Bowie ❤ Thank you 🙏

A few days ago I got some corrugated cardstock (as part of packaging obviously) and kept it because I knew it'd come in handy in printing! Funny you'd upload this just a couple of days later. I have not gotten around to using it yet but, maybe you'll inspire me to get it out - have not watched the video yet

I’ve made my own gelatin plates in the past which allowed me to make bigger plates for less money. This video was super inspiring!

Gracias, gracias por tanto talento e inspiracion!!!! Saludos desde Argentina!!!!

That Bowie is incredible! Love your videos! Sharing with all my friends…..no expensive printmaking equipment…..

Thank you. Thank you.

Love that idea!!

I've used corrugated cardboard for texture before but not in such a precise way. I can't wait to try out these techniques - thank you! 😊

I love David Bowie! I'm definitely gonna give this one a go✌️🤟🤙

Awesome as always. I'm inspired to attempt a stencil made of bubble wrap now too!

Wow! Love how it just kept getting better and better brilliant! 👏

This is brilliant! Great art work from your side and great technique for the rest of us to try! I will definitely give this a go!

OMGosh!!! Beautiful! You are such an AMAZING ARTIST!! Especially love the corragated letters! So simple but so COOL looking! I'm going to share your channel with my artist friends!! TFS Austin TX USA

Mark, this is fantastic! I can see a whole lot of uses for this technique in my work. Bravo!

I’m a people Photographer looking for other ways to use my images. For a while I’ve been exploring gel plate printing, collaging and alternative processes all very informative but not quite doing it for me. Then I found you! The combination of photography, gel plate printing and graphic art elements is exactly where I want to be going. Also, I’ve struggled with laser image transfers so I will be trying your well described process with photoshop. Many thanks.

Just wonderful, thank you Mark!

Brilliant! Ican't wait to try my hand at this.

Fantastic tips with my favorite texture, cardboard! Love the dot stippling. Amazing results, stencil was brilliant. Much appreciate the Procreate tips too!

Wow, wow, wow! Pushing yourself, boundaries of scale and printing. Poster size is fabulous. Again, Mark, thank you for the excellent detailed description of your producing various tones. If that wasn't enough for your viewers, you added offset which is one of my favorite techniques. Flouro orange added for a nod to great music show posters or album covers of '60s. What is next? I also need some new vocabulary and descriptors to use to convey admiration, surprise, excitement...

Magnifique travail.. merci pour vos conseils..

I've had some decent success with plain small scale cardboard stencils, but you've given me a few ideas for larger scale - although 12"x12" is my current limit for gel-plates - so I may have to adapt second stencilling and layering to achieve bigger pieces. Useful tip for anyone who doesn't have the confidence of drawing out or to save time gridding up: cut your pictures in half on photo editor, then print each half on a sheet of A4 then tape together. Hey presto, an A3 printout you can trace around, cut out, spray over, transfer to cardboard etc.

A wonderful experience.

Great job as usual.

Absolutely mesmerizing and amazing! What a wonderful technique! Thank you for your video.

Hi Mark, lovely prints and techniques. This reminded me very much of being in the print room and using collagraph techniques to make plates out of mount board, and peeling off different layers to create tones. The cardboard worked a treat for you, but you were thinking about how you could extend the life of the plate…. I used a wood glue that created quite a hard surface back then, painted it over the entire surface, and could then make up to fifteen prints using a press. The cardboard plates of course will only take hand pressure, but still I wondered if you could use a suitable glue to stabilise things. The difference between the one I used (I do not remember it’s name) and PVA is that it was much less wet and dried much harder. I love these kind of techniques and the end results. Just to add to your tutorial, it is not just the photos of famous people that you can do this with, of course, a photo of a family member can be given the same treatment or a friend. A quick play around in Snapseed can reduce it to what is needed. And really you could do this with a photo of anything, not just people. Just choose unfussy images…. Extender is great for Gelli work, just use it sparingly, you do not need much. They all work pretty much the same, I think I have three and they seem to be interchangeable. For anyone who needs to work slower it really helps. The size you are working at here is awesome! Had you thought of using one of the modern ‘paper’ types for stencils? I am thinking of Yupo or the stone papers, there are also some translucent ones used for various commercial applications, I used to get sample sheets from commercial paper companies for various design briefs. They cut really well even with scissors….. and do not do that wet stretchy stuff, you can even wash and reuse some of them. Thanks Mark! Now we have a use for all the cardboard we seem to get lumbered with, I love repurposing stuff anyway.

This is awesome. I just used cardboard on my small gel plate and loved the texture. So, I was excited to see this video. I hadn’t thought of using water to pull back the top layer of cardboard. I’ll have to give that a try.

I love your gel and art//design tips and miss them!!! Hope you are doing well!

Hi Mark, Hope that you are doing well and enjoying Summer! Was in Frankston and prompted me to say hello. Take good care of yourself…..💖💖💖🇦🇺

Really good. I love the idea and the execution.

Another superb tutorial. Thank you. I really appreciate the way you are specific about timing. That is so helpful.

Thanks for the inspiration! It never came to my mind to wetten the cardboard to get the ribs easily. By the way, you can use wallpaper paste instead of retarder. It does a good job and is way cheaper.

Oh lala this crazy ,this amazing i like David Bowies , i dont think one cardboard is just good idea thank you for very good job Mark😊

Thank you so much for sharing, so generous!
