Screen Printing


I've had a brilliant day today - the first proper screen printing I've done since college!

Having recently joined Drawn in Bristol a new illustration initiative/collective - Amongst other benefits, I now have access to some great screen printing facilities at the shared studio space in Stokes Croft.

The racing pigeon is an image I came up with a while ago, but thought I would adapt slightly to work as a 2 colour screen print. The print will form part of a collection of work I am putting together to sell at the Drawn in Bristol Pop-Up shop which will open it's doors very soon.

And of course there were a few practice runs and registration issues... these are fun in their own way!
