Finished Materials

I have been working on screen printing my materials for the HOPE mural wall in Austin. I finished printing all my patterns, despite working outdoors in the 100F heat. The heat dried the paint in the screens fast, so keeping the screens moist was a constant effort. Some of the prints are rather rough, but it will add to the aesthetic I am trying to achieve. All the prints have been trimmed by one inch all around so that they bleed off the page. The result is seamless tiles. Below are some shots of the actual screen prints. Some are 2 colors and some only one; about 100 sheets total measuring 17″ x 23″ each.

Mural Wall Update

Here is a peak at a part of the graphic I was working on today. The entire graphic measures 4′x6′ (120x180cm).
This will be pasted up at the HOPE mural wall.

Pattern Screen Printing

I have begun to screen print these repeatable patterns onto 19″ x 25″ white paper. The pattern graphics are sized to 17″ x 23″, so the paper will need to be trimmed by an inch all the way around to have the graphics bleed off the page. This paper should also be light and thin enough to be pasted up. Next weekend I will tile these patterns and collage them together on a part of the HOPE mural wall in Austin, Tx.
