only 2...and thanks to the miracle of solvent thinners I have 2 to clean decks mess up next time as well...
I used oversized construction paper after those 2 to get a feel for the screen and the concave
I am still working on some better ideas for getting the print a little cleaner in 1 pass, but I am happy with the results, and my bro who runs the shop is happy as fuck so it's all good
I havea 3 color planned next....
this was mailny to test the screen and inks to make sure it was going to work
now if only someone would be me a few full deck screens.... |

Nice job! I cut my teeth on a few shaped pieces of ply wood and got full length screens down finally a few years back.
Looks great!
Are you using a heat dried ink?
Mineral spirits will clean up ink great if you mess somethin up and have to do it again... Just make sure that you get your 2nd, 3rd, 4th + colors right on the first time! Do some test runs on some bs wood and get your ink consistancy right and you'll love it! |

Steve nice stuff!
I like the eyes on the skull logo.....
I am not picking here but,.....
the sierra nevada skull logo uses the same "creepy" font.
hahaha. Its not my font, who cares.
