i am starting to worry about this printmaking show. well, not worry so much as get serious about making stuff for it. i know if i do screenprinting, it's going to be at least 21 colors. 3 tints of each color + black. might be 22 if i decide to overprint my white areas instead of relying on my registration for them. anywho, here's a little doodle i

Getting serious is a good thing! It means that you can work through some stuff as you make something beautiful.

yeah. my favorite screenprint i made one day when i just decided i wanted to do a print at home. it was a good thing. =) we shall see how this progresses... you know.. once i get a squeegee.

A 10-color serigraph? Pulling it yourself, I assume? Yow! That'd be quite an achievement. I've never done much screenprinting... I'm looking forward to hearing about it.

The drawing is really sweet and an interesting composition. When it switches media, the serigraph will have harder lines between the colors (I assume? except the clouds and any shading I guess?) which should look good, too.

i'm a mad mad printin fewl!

well, 21 colors at least. fron the drawing, i have discovered that 10 colors is insufficient for the kind of pull i want from the print

You ARE mad. O_O Wow. I'm impressed and you haven't even really started yet. o_o;;;

As I was pointing out to Andy the other day (while muttering about sales) it seems like there's not a huge interest in fine art. The premier artform of the 20th century is film. So, when non-film artists work, it's definitely a labor of love. :D
