Screenprinting, printmaking — May @ February 21, 2008, 9:21 pm

Two color lithograph

Finished this last week and just got around to curating and scanning it. Yet to be named lithograph. First time doing multiple colors, first time using tusche. I love litho. It kicks my ass on a regular basis, but I love it. Spent a good portion of day brainstorming. I talked to Brian for a while and he filled my head with ideas. I think I know what I want to work on for the rest of the semester.

After class, I visited Nick’s print shop. Blown away. Absolutely crazy exposure unit. Can’t even describe. I’m really excited to print there, he’s got a print table with a ‘one-arm’ squeegee. It’s still manual printing, but there’s an arm that holds the squeegee and you basically guide it down a track to print. Lots of pressure. I can print something large(r) without having to worry about 1) not being able to reach to pull the squeegee or 2) not being to apply enough pressure over such a large area. Excitement.

Basically, all I want to do right now is print. Too bad it’s past eleven and it’s ridiculously cold outside…
