Artifacts Poster Prints

I finally found the time to screen print this poster!

The poster is a 4 Color, 18x24 screen print. There are three gem color variations, with an edition of 9 with orange gems, 5 with yellow, and 4 with maroon. I'll put select versions up for sale in a little while.

"Cycles" Screen Printed Posters

I decided to screen print one of my illustration assignments from last semester during my free time. I wasn't excited about the first colorway I printed, so I decided to print it again. I ended up printing A LOT of different colorways, but I kept the runs extremely small. I printed 5 of the orange variant, and only 13 on the blue variant (I haven't counted which prints came out perfect, though). The minty green variant is actually printed on back of the blue variant because I wanted to experiment without eating too much into my paper supply.







I might actually print another colorway next week!

Poster in the works Pt3/Painter's Guild Exhibit

I finished the poster I was printing and was able to submit it into my school's Painter's Guild Exhibit. I'm glad that I was able to display my piece in the exhibit, even though it wasn't a painting (speaking of which, there was actually a good amount of photography and screen prints displayed in the show).


The concept of my piece is the assassination of Julius Caesar. There are 60 daggers in the composition representing the 60 approximate individuals that participated in his assassination, while 23 of said daggers are coated in blood to represent the number of times Caesar was stabbed.


I also submitted one of my digital paintings to the exhibit (It's the one on the bottom. The top piece belongs to my friend, sarahe)!

Poster in the works Pt2

First color laid down for my poster:

Poster in the works!

First project of the semester for my illustration class! These are photos of a black/white xerox copy I oiled up and prepared to shoot onto a screen. The actual design was done digitally. More info on the design later.

Hybridization

This piece was done for my illustration class. The image was first created digitally, then outputted as a screen printed poster, which is three colors. I've known about the screen printing process for awhile now, but this was my first time going through the whole process and doing it with my own hands. You really do learn to appreciate the quality and craftsmanship of screen printed posters made by big name artists after trying to do it yourself. There was a lot of trial and error and a lot of messed up prints. I decided to make a small run of 12 to test the waters, but only 6 prints came out looking decent. It was a good learning experience overall, and I plan on printing some more of my stuff in the future.
