One of a kind drawing to multiple prints.



Recently I learned how to screen print. Printmaking was one of my favorite studio classes in college but screen printing was never covered. My friend Stephanie was gracious enough to let me invade her studio and teach me this method. For my first try I chose a pretty tricky image but the result paid off. I used the photograph of "the melodies of birds and bees" and did some manipulation in Photoshop to create a more graphic version of the piece and then screen printed it in 2 colors. I was very pleased with the result and have since purchased my own screen printing materials. More of my prints coming soon. : )
