Screenprint Induction


I made two example compositions to take with me to the print room. They are based on lines I had lifted from Naked Lunch and the Barry Miles biography about Burroughs, as well as themes involving bodies and the mind and all that stuff I've been drawing lately.

The one on the left isn't finished, I still need to figure out a better layout. So for that reason I decided to go for the second one to use in the induction.

Print positives, a layer for each colour

This time screenprinting went much more smoothly, and nearly all of the finished prints I created were fine. I ended up changing the colours slightly, choosing a fluorescent pink instead. I think that the process I used to make these positives was very straightforward and gave me the best of both worlds.

Using traditional media (chinagraph) to create the lines, and photoshop to assemble all of the separate drawings together to get a composition that I thought looked right.
