Oh my! Just the remedy for mourning the end of the season of L.A. Ink – Project Runway returns on Wednesday. Fallon and I will sit with our sketchbooks and play along. My favorite part is when they show the artists drawing in the studio. Don’t you agree we should see more of that?
This just in from tonights silkscreen class. I tried a few printed dead center, then made some with the print on the bottom, front and back. If you have to ask what it the text is, you haven’t been reading my Street Team blog long enough. (HINT: they are song lyrics.)
I loved using this brown ink on the turquoise and peach shirts (hard to see, it’s not black) but they were rejects because the shirts had this weird 2-ply cotton and it slipped when I was squeegying it. Dang! I guess I’ll stick with the red, like HERE. Next week I’ll try white on black. Susanna was clever and brought a BOX of rubber gloves. THAT was genius, especially because I am such a slob and you can’t be when you’re doing these. Thanks girl!
It’s always interesting to try something new. It makes you look at your default style of art with a new perspective. Working with fabric has been a lesson in addition to trying my hand at larger graphics. I’m dying to squeegy some acrylic paint through these screen stencils onto paper. Dare me???
