Gotta give you more

  Gotta Gotta Gotta! I was just listening to Otis....Anyways. Wow, Html. I think I got it. We'll see. If anything kooky goes on on this blog, it's probably because I've been fooling around in the back...So, here's another version of the bike print. I really like it, and I think I can see where it might go. Tune in.

Alright, so,

I finally finished burning the "bike sculpture" print, and I have to say, it was pretty satisfying. The formula I used was - 150 Watt bulb, at 23 inches away, burning for 40 minutes. The result was acceptable, although, not perfect. Printing has so many variables, I realized being able to control as many as possible helps immensely. The next foray will be into the world of....layers! Yes, I really want to be able to layer images on top of each other, and align them with some sort of registration system. Word. Tune in. Oh yeah, thank you to a special someone who took pictures for me...

Bike Sculpture Update!

Welcome back.

So, this is my next update of the bike sculpture print. I'm really excited to nail this down. I burnt the screen for 30 min. with a 150 watt bulb, at a distance of 18". I still got a hotspot, as you can see in the print, but I feel so close. Almost there! I just got some good advice from a friend, and I think the next burn will be it! Stay tuned...

Bike Sculpture process

Okay, so I did realize how hilarious this process of burning an image onto the silkscreen can be. I did check Speedball specifications, and the advice is not working out for me. I keep getting a hotspot in the middle of the screen, where the light is closest, and essentially, the hottest.   What to do? My new specs are a 30 minute burn, with a 150 watt bulb, at 18 inches away. Stay tuned...
