Antonis,

Good to hear. I remember you were talking along the lines of what Mark
Tucker has done using stiff medium and perhaps varying the thickness and
texture to emphasize the composition of the print.

I have talked to Robert a bit about his coating off-list and it sounds very
good. The problem is determining the best marketing approach for something
like that. My efforts got too plastic looking because there were too many
coats I think. I was trying to cover up the brush marks, unsuccessfully. I
keep toying with the idea of dry mounting some prints first and then coating
them and the idea of silkscreen application still has merit, at least
theoretically.
