Art like Sex is Cerebral

Posted on February 23, 2011 at 9:30am 13 Comments

In our “Post Modernist” world of art and art critics there are those that disclaim much of what is deemed “High Art” today. Sometimes from the common viewer’s perspective the only thing that can be deemed high might be the price a museum curator applies to it or the state of mind the creator may have been in when making his art.



A statement I have seen on numerous occasions prompted my musing about this whole “what is art question”.

The statement being “Art generated by computer… Continue

Life sometimes gets in the way of making art. People assume that we work to live, have prestige, succeed in business, or whatever. But an Artist wants to find the creative in every aspect of living life.



They often feel like outsiders or either they are so introverted they don't see the stuff around… Continue

I will be the first to admit I am no Michelangelo as you can see from the image I posted here. But, this image took me less than 5 minutes to create and upload using a new program I had never used prior to this one.…

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

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIc02QBihJQ&feature=share&list=UUM6N5AOYoyg6eAkbcDWpNFg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zAPZn5TEyM&list=UUM6N5AOYoyg6eAkbcDWpNFg&index=41

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).
