It's wonderful! Keep it coming!
I LOVE silk screening! Are you doing this at home? I have been wondering about what I need to do it at home. I obviously don't have access to school equipment anymore :(

[brevity79]

we did it at home on a gocco press we just bought. I dig! It's approx $125 for the press and it comes with everything...As someone who had never attempted silk-screening befoe, they make it pretty idiot-proof...:)

[paharo_deagua]

that sounds easy enough... I am pretty ignorant about gocco presses...I googled but I am not sure what to rely on. Did you find it online?

[brevity79]

We got ours at Pearl Paint on Canal Street in Chinatown. But I'm pretty sure you can order it online through pearl paint (www.pearlpaint.com) or even on dick blick...

this is really really beautiful!

I always flirt with the idea of silkscreening and have indeed attempted it but nothing that actually looks good. did you use photoemulsion fluid?

[brevity79]

thanks! We just used the screens that come with the Print Gocco press...They're kinda wierd, they must have photoemulsion fluid on them already but you can leave them out and nothing happens to them...I don't really get it...the kit comes with these bulbs and a hood and you push the hood down and the bulbs explode and ka-pow! you have a burned screen! :) Very nice and simple...

Nice. It's cool to see how you guys worked it out. I like the drawing style and the colors. It has a lizard, too! Can't go wrong.
