I looooooove industrial looking art. When I was able to walk and bend down without falling, I would pick up old nuts, bolts, small springs, small metal clasps, etc. and draw those and use them in mixed media pieces. I gotta get back into this, but with a Gelli plate too.
I was so inspired by this video that I found an old pair of pants, cut them up, and stuck a paintbrush in the pocket to make a very fun print. Also added some cardboard lines and mark making. Now I'm roaming around the house looking for potential print subjects! What fun!
I purchased a gel plate and did a few (6) tests experimenting with color and misc textures. It just didn’t spark my enthusiasm. Actually was thinking of gifting my gel plate to a fabric artist friend UNTIL I saw you video. Thanks heaps for the ideas and demo. More my cup of tea!
OMG lucky you only post randomly otherwise I would spend days on TH-cam 🤣 this was phenomenal as always executed with precision and amazing results you are so frickingly talented and make it look so easy 😱
@@yeatesmakeslove your creativity and was wondering if I can use some of these ideas to print from the Gel plate using fabric paint onto a t-shirt? …. So much to experiment with. Cheers and thanks again ❤
Your work is Incredible!! You are 1st class all the way! You are by far one of the best artist using the Gelli plate. I look for a video from you everyday. I hope someday I can watch you do your thing live. You are a great inspiration to many of us artist, keep up the great work.
SPECTACULAR use of found objects on the gel plate. I always love the ways you push technical approaches beyond the first idea, and far beyond the obvious. These are wonderful images and fascinating insights into the potentials of common items. The Interwebs will forever be grateful to you for moving the discourse on found-object printing beyond the ubiquitous repeat patterns of corrugated board and bubble wrap. Beautiful, evocative, and clever results!
I was happy to make a small donation when I saw that you had posted again. I have learned more about gelli printing from you than anyone else on TH-cam. Keep putting your prints up on your site too! Your creativity continues to inspire me and I look forward to more videos. Thank you.
Hi there, thanks for the lovely comment. It's a pleasure to share, really. Keeps me busy and inquisitive, which is great motivation to keep making stuff. Also, thanks to the ads your subjected to, the videos actually started earning me a bit of money to buy equipment!!!!
I absolutely love the imagery. Now I have a use for the smashed car parts I find on the side of the road while out for a walk. I've always been drawn to the marvelous texture and shapes but have never been able to find an application for them. Thank you. So clever!
Love this. When I first saw gel printing on TH-cam, it was always scrapbooking ladies using things they found in their craft rooms. This is totally more my jam.
I have become such a HUGE FAN of your tutorials, your Talent and your generosity of Spirit. I figured out how to donate and just did. I passionately urge EVERYONE to do so as well. You are a Gift! ❤
Wonderful and wonder if the metal made any deep dents in the plate? So inspiring and always glad to see a new video posted. I haven't tried the gloss medium to pull a print and need to try that out this week. Never thought about the fabric stuff, other than I've seen lace and doiley transfers. I love the shirt and cuff transfers. You are amazing.
Wow! every minute of this video is captivating.. it's truly amzing how you continue to keep coming up with endless ideas and inspiration every time! Thank you for sharing with us!
I absolutely love this! Hands down the BEST gel plate tutorial ever. You are very talented and SUPER creative. I have always wanted to combine my photography with collaging/printing. This got my wheels turning all directions! THANK YOU!
Usually I struggle to stay interested in most videos. Thoroughly enjoyed the full duration without wanting to skip ahead or stop. Never heard of gel plate before and this was fascinating.
Wowza, this is fabulous! Love your homage to the mural. Told my husband that I think you're the "mad alchemist" when it comes to the gel plate. Keep up the great creativity.
Mark of a true artist… “Am I enjoying it?” “Am I making any discoveries?” “Is it pushing me to think?” - Completely on board with that. If I can’t answer yes to all three then what’s the point. I love your transparency about your choices and inspiration. Thank you.
Great video!!! Really loved your "out of the box" thinking & application. The homage to the mural came out wonderful! Such talent you have. I love your urban themes. I still, often times, think about the rubbings you did months ago, going out into the town. I loved that idea!!! You take simple things and make them into beautiful art! I love your style! I never know WHAT you are going to come up with. TFS Austin TX USA
I never thought about using crushed cans or clothing sleeves on Gelli plates. Ingenius. I have watched this video several times. I love your graphic work. My favorite is the Augustus Pablo piece. Please keep up the fantastic work! Much respect - greetings from Florida!
LOLLOLLOL!!!! LOVE the casset tape!!! 😩😩😩 I can't tell you how many times I had to untangle mine!! I really enjoyed watching your video! And the homage to the Russian artist... another 80's event when the Wall came down 🙏🙏🙏
Love your experiments with the gel plate - I get so excited when I see you’ve posted a new one! Thank you for sharing your ideas and process so generously. They are so appreciated- so unique and refreshing.
Thank you for making this 72 year old lady happy. Such interesting art. So glad I have seen your work and subscribed and am going to get all your previous videos. I still liked the can the most, specially the red and white, reminded me of roses. I'm South African, have lived in the UK for 18 years, lost my darling husband and now I'm going home to my daughter. If it wasn't for that I would have a wall full of your prints. Luckily TH-cam is in SA. Keep up your wonderful work and so pleased you are on my list. Left hand people are always special. I started left, but in those days they didn't like it..... But always enjoy artistic people. Thanks
Yes my kids bought my ticket today, excited and feel blessed with there kindness and love. Until a few months ago I didn't understand binge watching, but now I do and am binge watching all your videos. Fascinating. I knew a Swiss artist and his love was drawing. He made his son a diary of drawings, just thought it the most precious gift. Maybe for a grandchild. What a blessing. You SA fan People like you I would like to bless with funds, but I'm rather on the poor side. God bless and thank you for sharing your blessings
Only discovered your channel recently thanks to a friend's recommendation as he knew I wanted to get into gel printing. I'm so inspired by your endless list of ideas. I'm steadily working my way through your videos. Thanks for producing them.
Wow Mark! I am in awe of your creativity again. You have taken a single technique and expanded it in a way that makes it way more than a single concept. Thanks for inspiring us again! (and again and again and again...)
I love the way you think and your artistry is sublime. Thank you for this inspiring video, I’m going to relook at what I’m recycling before I move it out! I always look for your videos on gel plate printing, I learn a lot from you.
Your elevation of everyday, mundane objects to mesmerizing shapes and textures is o inspiring! Also your love of incorporating drawing reminds me of prints by Jim Dine, who I also greatly admire. Your willingness to stretch boundaries and just go for it is contagious- many thanks!
You use a Gelli plate like no one else I've seen! I'm incredibly inspired. I love creating multi-media pieces using found objects, but I hadn't thought to use many of the found objects with the gel plate. Can't wait to go through your backlog of videos!
Never interested in gel printing because i found the materials folks were using were boring. You have sold me on it now. Found object prints, INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! Your experimentation is wonderful to see. Thank you for sharing your creativity. Much appreciated!
You never cease to amaze me, revealing new ways of seeing and creating art in unusual ways every time. BTW, thank you for mentioning your choice of heavy body paints; I wouldn’t have thought of that.
Thank you so very much. You are so outside the box no one can see your box from here. Love the way your mind works. Thank you again for sharing with us.😊
Wow these are incredible!! I’m so glad I watched your video because it’s really inspired me to use my gel plate differently and to use everyday objects for masking in such a fun, unique and creative ways! Thank you for this inspiration!
Ingenious as per usual Mark, many thanks again for sharing your Wonderful ideas and incredible skills 😊 Good luck to you and your Family in all that you do 😊 Stay safe x
I absolutely love your art, and I would love to spend a day in your head. It must be a wild ride. And now I'm scanning my home for objects to print. 💡🤔
That rub-in lettering on the cassette tape gave me my nostalgia. I clean forgot about that! I used to love using those as a child. My grandmother was a secretary and den mother and had all the supplies💓💓💓
OMG... you are beyond brilliant and talented. I love your videos (to say the least), each one more creative than the next. Definitely my cup of tea aesthetically. I have such great appreciation for the thought and work going into each piece. Cheers and Be Well! 💖
TH-cam just recommended this video to me, and it IS my cup of tea. I always see smashed cans and think they're cool looking. I have never seen gel plate art.. linoleum block sort of stuff, but this is soooo cool. Going to check out more of your videos.
Love the can print .. I had an old ragged denim jacket - used the front part where the pocket id - got a fab print in dark blue light blue . thanks for being inspiring.
Please do more of these random objects and industrial style prints. Deffo my cup of tea!!😊
This is definitely my cup of tea! Tired of seeing the same stencils, and leaves. Bravo!
K, me too. So so expensive for stencils. Made some with glue gun on wax paper! ❤
The way my jaw just dropped!!! There isn't enough time to do all the things I want to do!!! I'm so glad I found your channel. Thank you!

How about looking at the bottom of shoes and using them?
YES. More, more, more! I don't want to do all the same patterns/layers/topics that everyone else is doing. THIS makes me very happy.
I purchased a gel plate and did a few (6) tests experimenting with color and misc textures. It just didn’t spark my enthusiasm. Actually was thinking of gifting my gel plate to a fabric artist friend UNTIL I saw you video. Thanks heaps for the ideas and demo. More my cup of tea!

LOL!!! Keeping TH-cam posts random is the only way for me and a good antidote to my otherwise pretty structured life!!!!

Really amazing work, quite a trigger of fond memories from childhood as it reminds me of silly putty!
The can and little flat box prints were so reminiscent of "Pop Art"/Warhol etc! Thank you for the inspiration.
I love your print idea !!! Thank you for sharing ❤
That first can print is very pop art feeling! Love it!
