i would have to say one of my favorite medias to work in is printmaking & doing screen printing. the allowance of it's repetition, yet again let enforce the fact that it is never exactly the same each time an edition is printed, BUT is still a beautiful thing for any artist. last february i got inspired to have my screen filled with a bunch of valentine's day themed words and having them all be in different fonts throughout. i didn't have the means as of yet, then, to do the photo exposure process on my screen where i could just basically set my type in word and print out onto acetate and then expose the image to my screen. instead i took upon the challenge of painting on each word in a different font onto my screen with a very fine brush and my jar of screen filler by my side. the end result, i have to say came out very well and i printed up a bunch of 8.5x11" card stocks to cut down and use them for my valentine's cards as you can see....and of course i had to add a bunny on there too!
happy printing,
