For over 4 years I watched guys at work screen printing shirts. Piece of cake. I knew all about it too. "It's smudging. The screen needs to be cleaned." "The image isn't coming out. The ink dried up and it's clogging the mesh."
Then I tried doing it myself for the first time in like 6 years or possibly more. Yeah, now I remember... I suck at this.
I think I've been seeing all these beautiful prints online and elsewhere, I began to believe that it was going to be just as easy and beautiful for me as well. I went to an art opening on Saturday at Little Bird Gallery that featured prints by various designers/artists. Of course all the work was beautiful and flawless. The show is called "OFF-REGISTER" but the prints I saw were pretty much well registered, not to mentions there were no smudges in sight.
Anyway, here is my first attempt at these prints.
Disastrous. Talk about smudges. I decided to clean the screen and start over. Once again, I'm waiting for my screen to dry so I can attempt this again. I know I can do this... I hope.
