Jim Lee / Blue Moon Press - books & prints

Yup, I noticed, I was looking at the post dates...kind of a monthly! They all must be working hard on creating books? Really like the "new" book, beautiful images -- did you go up the Miramachi River and talk to the Mi'Kmaqs up there? My brother goes up there every year.

Hello Jim Lee, thanks for your comment! Your drawings are beautiful! :)

Hi Jim--

Thanks for the welcome. Let's visit each other soon--we're so close it's silly not to. I've seen some of your stuff before--I think maybe Carol Blinn was showing it to me? Impressive color registration on the woodcuts. What press do you use?

talk to you soon,
Art

Dear Jim,

Thanks for the welcome. I'll try to check in on this networking site as often as I can. It looks like a good one. Seems from the messages on your page that it is working!

All best,

Felicia

Yes, It was Orchard After the Fall. Do you have others, as well, viewable, or can you send some images? THNX. Richard

Jim,

Do you have any Conn. River woodcut prints available? I lost the one Sheila and I bought in my divorce.

Dear Jim, thanks for your comment. I spose shed is a bit of an understatement but that's the Aussie way, if you blow your own trumpet in any way you're considered a wanker. But yep it is a pretty good studio. I've always worked in make do poky spaces so it's really nice to finally have a big decent space all my own. I have to say i absolutely love your work (and i'm usually pretty critical). I can't believe how you do it. What editions do you do of the books? are they all hand printed? How the hell do you do it? The American folky feel brings back these surreal childhood memories for me for some reason. Weird but true. Cowboys around a campfire under the moon and maybe a coyote up the hill fills me with a warm nostalgia,... and i've never been to America in my life! I'd like to though oneday, maybe i could visit? Anyhoo, keep up the good work. All the very best, David

Hey, Jim, how are you? I'm happy in Boston. I'm a dean and VP at Emerson College, and also Prez of the venerable old Society of Printers. I'm also VP for membership of the College Book Art Assoc. Hoping to see you at the meetings: www.collegebookart.org/

Will you be going to Philly for the Hybrid Book Symposium in early June? Some of the old Madison gang will be there (Barb T, John Risseeuw...) Would be great to see you.

My wife, Ruth Rogers, would probably like to see some of your recent work to buy for Wellelsey's collection. You should give her a holler:

Take care,

Richard

Hi, Jim,

Thanks for the message!

Yes, I worked with Walter and was (and am) good friends with his ex, Mary. I think you finished at UW as I was starting- I was there from '83 to '87 with a year off for the '85-'86 academic year. I have some fabulous wood block prints associated with your name in my memory bank, but my files get pretty scrambled sometimes!

I have lived in Newfoundland since 1992, but still try to get to NY every couple of years. I'm due for a visit, so I'll add visiting you to my schedule next time I'm there.

All the best,
Tara
