- My Babe. She's been into Gary for a while, and i've picked up on that along the way. As result i've been a fan of Gary myself for some while now, both as an artist as well as a tutor and, above all as a human being. I like his enthusiasm and joie de vivre, and following some of his tips are fun too. Other reasons for joining? To learn, engage, and share. Not neccessarily always about Art.....sometimes one has to look at what influences you on a particular day....

More than one person who has seen my most recent ensemble has kindly made suggestions that I may, (ahem) be 'on something'. Whilst I would never comment on such matters ordinarily, I do think its a subject for legitimate debate/discussion.I was,in part, also prompted to recall a recent post about someone painting blind drunk-(which could I think be quite fun!)
If one draws parallels with the music industry, arguably some of the 20th century's greatest pieces were written and…

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).
