The Blog

Been busy

Haven't had a chance to do more of these. Been tied up with work and the weather came around, trying to ride for a few days before it rains and gets cold again.

First ever Throttle. Blog T

Man, I had a hard time with the test prints and with the black shirt. But I'm pretty happy with the white shirt for my first try. Hoping to work on some more. This was inspired by an Al Knapp racer photo off the web, that I worked with and modified. What do you guys think?

Day 2 of screening workshop

I was so happy with being able to work on subject matter that I like. This is a lot tougher than I thought. I missed lots of spots. Need practice! Finished shots to come soon. I messed up but did manage to get 2 shirts done before the end of the day.

Silk screening - hands on

I like getting in and trying things. Have been interested in silk screening for some time but haven't had the opportunity or any time until this weekend. Joined a weekend workshop with my friend Terry to force myself to make the time. So far so good. First day we learned about using drawing fluid and clay emulsion. Tomorrow is what I'm looking forward too. Worked on some acetates and hope to create some screens of . . . of course my favourite subject matter these days, my dream wr racer. Here's a preview of one background screen. Man, I have respect for the precision and detail needed to do this stuff properly. Back out again tomorrow to finish off. Hope not to waste a few Ts . . . wish me luck.
