My inspiration
I love exploring different styles and blending them into something entirely new. This process lets me create artworks that can transform into prints, album covers, shirts, or whatever form they’re meant to take.
Take yourself on a journey into your imagination, and find the calmness inside yourself. By combining different views, I create the world that I see when I close my eyes.
My Screen Printing Process
The process involves creating a design, transferring the design to a photo sensitive screen to create a stencil, and then using a squeegee to force ink through the stencil. Each color requires a separate screen, making multi colored designs a more time consuming process.
Artwork & Design: Start with your design. For multi color designs, you will need separate film transparencies for each color.
Coating the Screen: The screen is coated with a thin, even layer of photo sensitive emulsion in a dark room.
Exposing the Screen: A plastic sheet with the design on it, is placed on the coated screen and exposed to a light source. The light hardens the emulsion in the areas that are exposed.
Washing Out: The screen is sprayed with water, washing away the unexposed, soft emulsion. This creates a stencil on the screen, with open areas where the ink can pass through and blocked areas where it cannot.
Printing: Ink is applied to the top of the screen. A squeegee is then pulled across the screen, pushing the ink through the open areas of the stencil onto the substrate.
Drying & Finishing: The printed item is then dried and heat cured to finish the print.
