GS9 4th Annual Gyotaku Extravaganza!

This activity builds the future of our sport! Way to go guys. We will approach this activity with a spirit of ceremony and reverence. Were honored to participate. Amos

That's what I'm talking 'bout!   

My daughter Ari is 2 years old, if she wants to do this it sounds like there will be shirts for kids? Did I read that right?

Kids print free, Victor, but we haven't hooked up on any kids' shirts, unfortunately.  I believe Brandi has some flags, so it's either that, butcher paper or an adult small (contingent on availability).  Maybe find a shirt or two in her wardrobe to turn into a Gyo?...

2 year old Gyotaku Master - I want pics.   

Thanks for the clarification re: no kids size gyotaku shirts, just small gyotakus.  We do have blank kids size though   I don't think I have any flags left but will bring any if I have some.  Of course, everyone is welcome to bring their own stuff to print on!!  2 yr old, I will make sure there is photos taken!!  and of all of those participating too

You can have Emma on Saturday afternoon. I'll send her over.

Last year was the first ever where I managed to make it to the Gyotaku printing - doing the scoring has always kept me pegged all afternoon.  I was so impressed and pleased with what Brandi has done, and this year she's even more on it. 

Brandi - Thank you so much for making the GS Gyotaku so awesome!   

I encourage GS participants to check it out, and even if you don't participate, please make a point of watching how the process reflects the efforts I'm referring to. 

One of my overall goals this year is to print a fish.   

Thank you Eric! I hope you'll be able to partake in the activities this year. See you all soon!

Kudos to Brandi, the Gyotaku Extravaganza was super! Her helpers rocked, kids (and adults) had fun and made beautiful prints.

Thank you everyone who participated!!  Big shout out to ALL my volunteers - you ROCKED!!  Report and photos to come! 

Next several posts are a few of the photos from the Gyotaku Extravaganza. I will upload all photos captured by my stellar volunteers later this week to a NCKA photo folder and will provide the link.

I'm now disappointed I missed it. I didn't know what a Gyotaku was before. Next year if it's on again I will definitely participate!

and just a few more - and more to come!  Amazing artwork happened!

That is just AWESOME!
