The Stefonovich Family grew out of my boredom with the traditional roles of Barbie and her compatriots. It all began in 1980 when my Malibu Skipper doll seemlessly made the transition from wholesome teen beachbum to late night yodeling/opera singing freak. She began terrorizing the other Barbies, a one girl barrage of spaztic annoyance. She was alone in her efforts to temp the other Barbies away from their bland domestication until I met my childhood best friend, who coincidentally was also named Heather. She immediately embraced my demented ideas and it was the power of our friendship as two misfit girls that was the fertile soil from which the Stefonovich Family grew. There are sixteen members that span 3 generations ranging from Great Auntie Arthritis down to the youngest; the diminutive Windex. They each had their own distinctive personalty, voice and fashion sense. It's due time that they become immortalized and emerge for the world to see in this series of portraits that I have created. It is with great pleasure that I present the second installment: Auntie Arthritis.
Stefonovich Family, Fig. 5 (Auntie Arthritis) is a 6 X 8.5" Gocco print on 8.5 X 11" recycled, acid free, archival quality, heavy chipboard. It is my original artwork Gocco printed in 3 layers; yellow, dark mustard and metallic blue ink. It is a limited edition of 50 prints and is signed and numbered. It would look great framed or hung by a clip, alone or paired with other members of the family.
I will be adding new prints weekly (hopefully) so check back soon to meet them.

Making a workbench to screenprint on.
Finished it will be 4 feet long and 3 feet deep.
I'm building in from these instructions
This is my Dad's first screenprint, made with the screenprinting table we built in his garage. To see more of his work, visit www.nealmorley.co.uk/
I switched emulsions recently because this stuff is supposed to be clear which should make multi-layer screenprinting easier. But new emulsion could require a new process, so I made this test screen to figure out how long to burn it for.
I ordered a freakin' gallon of this stuff. I don't quite do enough screenprinting to warrant mixing a whole gallon if it's only going to last 6 months refrigerated. So I figured out the proportions and mixed about a cups worth.
2 tablespoons (a little less) of sensitizer to 1 cup of emulsion. The actual ratio is 7/4 cups of sensitizer to a gallon of emulsion, which works out to 7/128. Hard to get that without getting fancy, but 2 tablespoons to 1 cup is 8/128 which seemed close enough.
I exposed the screen for 15 minutes with increments of five minutes going down the screen. It's a 150watt clear bulb 18 inches above the screen. I also focus the bulb on the frame of the screen and rotate to avoid burning a harder to clean out spot where the bulb is strongest.
All of the increments worked and washed out fine. If I get really picky, the 30 minute mark seemed like the best spot, there was some weird residue in the 15-25 minute areas, but that may have been purely from being lazy during the washout.
The 30 minute mark seemed like the sweet spot with the Speedball stuff as well, so it looks like I don't have to change my process at all! ;)
The design on the Coffee Clutch (inside) reads: ‘Every day, little treasures...’. This text carries on to the Moleskine Notebook with "...makes everyday extra special". It is there to remind you that every day, there are little things that make it special and those should be treasured.
Hand pulled screenprint onto vintage Subbuteo pitches to celebrate the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.

I bought this bag on a fleemarket in Seoul - maybe someone could translate me what is written on the outside.
