Black Bayou with Rainbow

"Nice work, Frank. I agree with Bronwyn. One question- where is the rainbow? Is it the colors on the lower half? Don't mind me- I'm brain dead today....."

"I love this, Rick. I like making white on white artworks also. Every texture and dimensional piece counts in a painting(?) like this. And when light hits it every shadow counts."

It happened AGAIN!

Posted on January 23, 2013 at 5:35am 9 Comments

I have once again been deleted from this site after 4 years and LOTS of content that went away with it besides being part of the admin. I will not be adding much content, art, videos, etc- I guess the universe is trying to tell me something. Unless there is a way to back up my content here (let me know if you know) there is no reason to start up yet again. I will be here because I love this site but I won't work at adding much- it takes too much time and to lose it all a 3rd time would make…

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).
