Fun with silkscreening!






I apologize for not posting stuff for a while. I was drunk. Here's some silkscreened prints I created for a two-man show last year. The concept deals with advertising posters for an institution populated by kids with mental "gifts". They're not necessarily super-powered, they just have these unexplainable, and for the most part problematic quirks. This was the first time that my studiomate/coworker Rich Tuzon and I tried our hand at silkscreening. And it is also our last! j/k. It was quite the challenge of trial and error. In the end, it was also the most rewarding experience. We finally got through it with the help of enough alcohol to kill a small bear. Enjoy!

Hey E, these are great! Concept and art-wise. Do you guys have any of these left for sale? I love the kid with the books forming a giant hand, and I'd love to buy one.
Very powerful stuff!

Silkscreens and alcohol... I remember it well.
