Thanks Mike...that's good to know actually...I'm still in novice territory so I really appreciate tips like that...as of yet, it's been mostly intuitive...

Very nice and I like the star in the eye it draws you through the picture. I understand the research has shown that most people read a painting from the bottom left hand corner to the top right hand corner. May be this is just in the western world where we read from left to right, but I am just guessing.Anyway if that is the case you have the perfect composition because you start with the buildings move on to the girl and stop because of the star, then come back and read the words. That's the theory and even if it isn't right it as great picture.

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
