these prints are supposed to look that way - a little crazy and make you buggy eyed.above are 6 of the 24 new screen prints i just finished. click here to see them all.
for the past 6 weeks i've been taking a class w/ Roni Henning at the Lower Eastside Printshop. screens were made of different shapes i drew with various line qualities. some lines were made w/a marker, waxy crayon or pen. watching how a drawing translated into a screen, then on to paper with rich colors was amazing. it changes subtly, but somehow also with great intensity. i went for high impact, bright fluorescent colors; green, pink & orange. i also used about a 50% gray and an awesome putty color i found in the shop. i thought the intersection of a high key color w/a muted tone on light grey and black paper would be fabulous. as i passed the colors thru the screen and watched these guys develop i totally fell in love w/the material, the line, the color, the lushness, the pattern, the simplicity, and the impact.
