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!
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!
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!!!!
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.
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! ❤
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.
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
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 🙏🙏🙏
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.
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.
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.
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!
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...)
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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💓💓💓
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.😊
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! 💖
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.
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!
Very inspiring! I have used some household items on the gelliplate but you really take it to the next level. I love how you infuse your humor and personality into your unique prints! Well done 👏👏👏
Loved this! Now I have to find a bicycle chain lol Oh the happy hours spent making mix tapes 😁 The gel plate really is amazing for picking up texture and details. I was thinking that if you let the acrylic dry on the fabrics you might get a different texture altogether. Hope you have a great summer 😊
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. 💡🤔
Stumbled upon this video and love all your experiments! Very inspirational! I just want to pull out my own plates and go to town with them too!! Thank you for sharing all of this with the world! Grtz Anca, from the Netherlands
So happy I stumbled onto this video! I have a gel plate I haven’t used yet, and plenty of flattened Tetra Pak’s waiting to be carved into, as well as small clear plastic sheets made from deli containers. I am so impressed with your fabric tests and your results, I would have been super happy with your results. *Also I use masking tape the same way! Plus on stamps to clean off old ink and paper fibres. New subscriber for sure!
Hi i am new to gel printing and have watched many videos which are all just the same kind of textures and botanical, this is so inventive and out of box kind of thinking, amazing, now I have some good ideas to get very creative too. Thank you 🙏🏻
Your new ideas and artworks are fantastic (as always ;-) I'm in holiday by the North Sea, due to bad weather I want to "play" with my gelplate. Inspired by your examples I've to try printing things I find around - that will be fun😊
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.
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! ❤
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.
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!
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 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!
How about looking at the bottom of shoes and using them?
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, the comments below say it ALL. You are amazing. Wish I found you sooner. Thats OK... I'll be binge watching all your videos.
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 😱
LOL!!! Keeping TH-cam posts random is the only way for me and a good antidote to my otherwise pretty structured life!!!!
@@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 ❤
Really enjoy your creativeness. You inspire
Inspired as ever Mark! Thank you
So true. Love your work!❤❤
Really amazing work, quite a trigger of fond memories from childhood as it reminds me of silly putty!
Old school graphic designer here. I'm super inspired by your work.
I love your print idea !!! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you so much! Your creativity is so inspiring!
this is a fabulously creative genius in action

OMG absolutely stunning at 3:42...
Well, it's MY cup a' tea!
Love your inventiveness and creativity. The beer can made me think I could use that for roses!
This is by far one of the best gel plate videos I’ve come across!!! ♥️
I love to watch your videos and all the techniques you use. The chain remains me a brain. Great.
Your approach to the gel plate is wonderful and truly groundbreaking. Incredible!
Amazing to watch your work - very inspirational!!

Yes. Ditto. Lol. Such amazing skill and great ideas. ❤❤❤
This is absolutely inspiring!
The can and little flat box prints were so reminiscent of "Pop Art"/Warhol etc! Thank you for the inspiration.
So glad to see you back sharing with us. Your work continues to amaze. Thank you Mark.
That first can print is very pop art feeling! Love it!
Most interesting process of gelli printing I’ve seen so far! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

excellent !
The dead crow lino is incredible 🖤
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.
Hi there, what a lovely message and pleased you enjoyed the video : )
You NEVER cease to amaze me with your new ideas! You have brought gelli plate prints to a " fine art" level. Thank you.
So wonderful! Love your thoughtful art.

Hi there, thanks for lovely comment. I really enjoyed doing the Augustus Pablo - hopefully a few more viewers checked his music out as a result!!!!

My wife left me because i told her that I’d leave her for you, mark. I’ve loved you for years. Keep being you my man 👊❤️

Absolutely wonderful! Really enjoyed this and so inspirational! Amazing art work Mark - thanks for sharing. 👌

Eyes open, you'll see something surprising : )
So stoked to stumble upon your video...unexpected objects..Yes, thanks! Keep 'em coming..
The can is a great idea! I will use the same “encouragement” to get my son to help me with housework🤭
THIS IS my cup of tea! Wow! Wow! I am definitely going to try making prints with unusual objects.
Amazing! I would never have thought to use these materials on a gel plate. Thanks for the inspiration!
Overwhelmed with your ideas! Need a book. Oh, and also a gelli plate would help! 😊
Stumbled upon this video and love all your experiments!
Very inspirational!
