Excluded

This beautiful map and 49 others got four colors screen printed on them today between 6;30am and 3:00pm. I also managed to teach three classes and chat with my advanced print making students during our studio time . . . While printing.

All four screens burned by 8 am and off to critique with the advanced layout and design class . . . 

Between 11 and 12:30 I got the first two colors pulled. And got the third lined up and registered.

Got the third and fourth done between 2 and 3 . . . It was right down to the wire. As I was cleaning my screen, the alarm on my phone that reminds me to pick up Ethan went off . . .

Taking shape

A little more

Slowly

Coming along slowing, hope to get more studio time in this week.

Aware of consequence . . .

A small edition with a band of spray paint and text over the isolated print. The type reads "aware of consequence" and there is a second set in white that says "familiar with pain" . . . 

. . . Isolation . . .

It was a long day of burning screens, printing between classes, washing out emulsion and burning more screens . . . Using two screens, I printed a four color print between 6am and 3pm . . . Not to mention teaching three classes. It is an edition of 25.

Final color. A bit of motion blur on the photo . . . I think my arms were shaking a bit.

Reading Print - 1st Pass

First pass at this little print, the mid tones are too dark so I'm going to go back in and carve out a little more to lighten them up. Printed 7-9 prints in sketch books and one on a single sheet of paper, I'm probably applying too much pressure when printing as the fine lines get lost—hopefully I'll find the right touch tomorrow when taking another swing at it.
