MAKING ART...

LUCKY SOCKY

After years of folding my socks like this, I just noticed they resemble a bunny. Sometimes it takes a while to see the most obvious things.

Also, I just picked up another batch of White Rabbit Giclees which are now for sale in my Web Store and Etsy shop. Iolabs here in Rhode Island. I'll also be framing some and will have them up on my site soon. The Giclee prints are a way to offer affordable prints to those who missed out on sold out screen printed art.

Bunny Love Pt. 5

Checking the rose test prints against my color swatch book, got it on the 3rd try...


Adding and mixing more tranparent base on screen...


Second color done and drying on rack...

Bunny Love Pt. 4

Checking the color against my pantone swatch book. At this stage, the blue was too dark and opaque...


It's a small run so I add transparent base to the screen and mix...


After a few rounds of mixing in transparent base and test printing I'm finally happy with the light blue...


Mixing the second color, rose...

Bunny Love Pt. 3

This print required tight registration so I racked the paper before printing to let each sheet expand, contract, or whatever it wants to do. The temperature in my studio varies and all paper reacts differently especially when ink hits it...


Putting the screen in the press...


First color, aqua...


First test print...

Bunny Love Process PT 2

"Shooting" a screen meaning blasting it with a very bright UV light...


All the areas blocked out by the light (black on film) wash away creating a stencil...


Screens drying...

Bunny Love Process PT 1

Film positive generated by my Epson...


One film for each color...


The screens are coated with photo emulsion, one screen for each color...


Each film positive is attached to the screen with tape to hold it in place...

Thanks to www.cottonable.com for this nice article!

A really cool website, Cottonable, recently wrote a very nice piece about my t-shirts. Be sure to check them out as they have lots of cool apparel featured throughout.

September Art and Shirt Releases

I took my crossbones heart "Love" design and discharge printed it for the first time in white on black sweatshop-free American Apparel tees. This shirt is the first of three new tees I'll be releasing this month.

After dropping the three new shirts it's on to art prints for the rest of the year. At the end of September I'll be releasing my first large format multi-color screen print (I realize it's been a while) so keep watching my blog or join my Mailing List for additional information.
