The Disintegration Collabaration Project
I had heard about this guy in the states who had made work and hung it outside his window for a number of months to see what effect the environment and nature would have on it. His name was Seth Apter and he has a blog all about the disintegration collabaration project. I thought this looks interesting and I might give that a go sometime but was too busy at the time to do anything about it.
Then the other day I discovered on red bubble(another arty website) a group doing the…

Heat Gun Advice?
I'd like to get a heat gun so I can try the Bubble Effect Technique. Will one of those craft heat guns do or should I get the industrial type? Any advice?

WHAT IS IT ABOUT COLOR......?
what do colors mean to you?
do you have more than one favorite color? why is it your favorite?
do you believe in color theory? red=energy, blue=calm, yellow=inviting, etc.
how do you decide what colors to use in your art? are your choices just random?
do you experiment with mixing colors or are you kind of in a rut of using the same few colors?
i for the most part am a self-taught artist and i know a little about… Continue

So You Want to Sell at Art Festivals

Do you get too attached to your work?
But when I get something framed and hang it on my wall, I am so loathe to take it down and put it up for sale. It's like a baby you know - good or bad, it's still mine!
So the main reason for this possessiveness is that I would have spent worknights, weekends and every snatched moment of spare time thinking and making them paintings. Then after all the hard work I… Continue

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).
