part of my solo exhibition 'All of This is Anything' at the Glasgow Print Studio October 23-November 29, 2015
I finally got the opportunity to do some screenprinting, at Edinburgh Printmakers, and executed the first of what I hope will be a series of small editions, each being a "portrait" of a famous, or significant circuitboard.
Perhaps it is conceited, but this first one is my own Polarshield.

A mock up for my next screenprint/letterpress project. A planned five color screenprint. The large text is going to be letterpressed in tint base (or perhaps a translucent white).
I really really really hope I can pull this off.
Illustration for a screenprint. I'm going to do. Will turn it into an art print and tshirt.
Just trying a few different versions.
I'm so in love with this print that I found at the thrift store the other day. It is by Nicholas Takis (1903-1965). It looks like he is actually a fairly well known painter, his original paintings sell for a good amount of money. I'm pretty sure this is a screen print though since it is on paper and is huge (20"x26"). It is weird that the image goes right up to the edge of the paper though. When I first looked at it I thought it said "Azusa Flower Mart" and I got all excited that it was a local scene from Azusa, CA but it really looks like it is says "Azulsa Flower Mart" or "Azulea Flower Mart." If any one knows any more about the subject or the artist please let me know. Thanks.

18x24 one color screenprint.
Even with the advent of digital printing, there are still the artisans printing with "old school" techniques and methods. Here is a shot captured of screen printed sheets being removed off a rack after drying.
There's a clear reflective gloss terrarium over the whole print that gets a little lost in the scan.
An alternative colour scheme, which I think I prefer. There's only three of this one, though, as I added orange only after printing most of the rest of the run in blue. It's more cheery, though, isn't it? Perhaps inappropriately so...
The picture is of assorted wrongdoers arrested in San Francisco in 1921. The guy in the top right was charged with a violation of the poison law -- does that mean he poisoned someone or that he was merely, say, innocently taking some arsenic for a walk around town? Who knows? And the black guy two along from him, who was charged with vagrancy -- he's got a rather natty bow tie on, which makes him pretty well dressed for a vagrant. Most odd. The grand-larceny guy beside him looks like Adolf Hitler, doesn't he?
A few of them were charged with violating section 476a of the penal code, which turns out to mean that they were caught trying to pass forged cheques (or checks, as they're American).
The image is about 30" by 20". All the mugshots come from Mark Michaelson's book, Least Wanted. He's on Flickr here as well.

Lord, is it dull around here or what? Welcome to Minnesota in February. It should be getting a little busier in the next few weeks -- I promise. For today, though, you get to look at some of my decor. This is a screenprinted poster from the Raconteurs show a few years ago that Aesthetic Apparatus designed. I *love* this design team. If you have never poked around their site, you should. And if you live in Minneapolis, get on over to their headquarters on Saturday. They are having a scratch'n'dent sale and posters are going to be starting at FIVE BUCKS. You can't beat that with a stick.PS: That Raconteurs show kicked ass. It's in my top 10 of all time. Maybe even top 5.
