My work in Monkdogz urban art New York
Woohoo got my work accepted into this gallery for a charity auction In New York, yeah i know, no money but the kudos of having it in a NY gallery is cool. This was a recent piece that Andy Mercer (from red bubble) and I collabarated on called 'Geisha Surfing'. It was a bit of light hearted fun. It was not long after this that the japanese tsunami happened sadly, but this auction is to raise money for the victims so it has been a great bit of collabaration for us both to feel we can help a little.
Have a look

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).
