new poster:THE SPRING STANDARDS:yellow

These guys, The Spring Standards, put a lot of hard work into a limited release record this summer, Yellow. They handmade album booklets from recycled cereal boxes and then screenprinted the artwork as they played shows all over the country. I was invited to print a poster for the release-- below. You can listen to their music here.

over-exposure

Recently I over exposed a couple of screens and am now troubled by a ghost line left when I clear the screen. The line cannot be removed with emulsion remover (I also tried bleach, to no success). I am including a photo of the screen (line visible on the letter "t") and the result when printed. I turn to you, dear followers, for help with this! Anyone have a solution?

screen printing workbench!

Yesterday I built a workbench designed to function as my screen printing table. I asked around to get an idea of what you need for a good work table. One suggestion is to make the table belly/elbow height- about 38" high on me, a 5'7" person (want the table to be tall enough so you don't strain your back). I also measured my screens and printing supplies to build a shelf into the table to hold these things. My budget was $100 for materials (spent $98 on lumber and drill bit kit). The table is built from pine I got at Lowe's hardware in Brooklyn. All you need is wood, a drill, saw, screws, measuring tape, pencil, beer, tortilla chips, friend to help. Tip from my friend Adam, master BMW mechanic in Houston- "don't cut off your finger, buy enough beer so you don't have to go back mid project."
