Black Bayou with Rainbow
"Well, I keep seeing busted, shredded tires on the road, and they look like such interesting shapes. I had to see if I could use them for something. However, so far they are trees. Lol. "

"I must say Frank, you're very imaginative with your use of materials. I don't think I would have ever thought of using a shredded tire! Looks great."

hello again Frank and thanks for your comments on my art. Can I just ask you..are you a priest or is that you dressing up? If you are, then that would explain the symbolism in your paintings..oh and happy to be friends

Hey dear colleagues. I haven't been on here much for the past month. I'm not asking for sympathy, believe me. I've been in intensive care in the hospital for awhile. Blood clots in my my leg moved to my lungs, and I literally wasn't allowed to move for a few weeks. BUT, I'm back with a vengeance. I've finished several pieces, due to an increased amount of creative energy. I will post them as soon as I can take some pics of them!!

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).
