silkscreens

While doing a silkscreen workshop at a local retailer on queen street in Toronto, I came up with a series of designs using pen and ink. My thoughts were focused on victorian-style furniture. Although most of the art was created with ink on mylar paper, I used a process called rubylith to create the pillows {above left} and candle flames {right} as a different colour. I was at the workshop from 10 am to 11pm at night. It started out with about 25 people then filtered to about 4 of us in the evening who basically couldn't stop silkscreening.
