MY mother was a really great artist, but she never published her art . Most of it was given away by my father and the rest is in our family. I would like to know if I could make a page for her. …Continue

I have been working with oils and acrylics for the most part lately, but the painted cowboy was done in photo shop, and it actually started from a pic my wife took of me standing in our kitchen. I used it as a template and painted layer after layer onto it for hours to get that psychodelic look. I am now doing some work in Adobe illustrator, but will be back to oils soon. I also like to paint horses, I am doing a bull and rider now, and when I have a little more time I will send some pics.
I like your work too, nice to hear from you

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).
