Gang's All Here: An Accordion Book

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I finally got around to photographing this little accordion book that I made. Each page has a face and each face flips up to show a skull underneath:

















So there you have it. Gang's all here!

Stencilled Screen Prints and Handmade Paper

In my last post I mentioned that the "Freaks Rise Up" print was my second try at screen printing...well, here are my firsts. I had to cut out 5 stencils and arrange them in 4 different designs. Considering the constraints of the assignment, I'm pretty happy with these results, but I am a little peeved at how much white space there is:

I've also been making some handmade paper recently, my favorite of which has been this Japanese-style paper made of bark, which had to be boiled, cleaned, and beaten until it was ready to be used for pulp. The sheets then get stuck on a window to dry:







And here's a batch I made of green fabric and my roommate's old blue t-shirt:

Freaks Rise Up Print

Hello everyone! Well, it's been far too long, but I finally got ahold of a way to upload pictures again after a bit of a drought there. Last night I finished a screenprint edition called "Freaks Rise Up!" I guess I'm ok with how this one turned out...there are some registration issues and places where the printing is uneven, though. I figured this is my second try, so there are bound to be some mess-ups, right? Anyway, here it is:



I'll get some pictures of my first screenprints later today. For now though, here's a sneak preview of the dragon I'm putting on my dorm room wall. Lovingly named Hypno-Dragon, the lights of his eyes are already functional:



More soon!
