I have a meeting later today for a custom job - so excited - it's always nice to go for a walk. custom jobs are a lot of fun - it's a break from my everyday studio production. I had a request before the holidays to do a three colour print - at first I was asked to do a letterpress print of this image the client designed and because she wanted a large size we decided a silkscreen would work better. I did some prints on paper and asked if she wanted a few tea towels to go with them - I like the design a lot - I'm happy to provide my customers with different print options. the last time I did a multi-colour silkscreen was when I was teaching printmaking at the AGO gallery school. one day I will give you a tutorial on how to register your colours using acetate - the same method I use to register letterpress prints. I like how certain printing techniques/methods are related.
