Screening Posters

Beyond printing t-shirts I am really interested in screen printing posters. I just really like the aesthetics of screen printed poster. After printing an Iggy t-shirt a few weeks back I used the stencil to also make a poster. I used some heavy card that I had purchased from the art supply store. All I did to prepare the card was screen print a circle onto it using a mixture of red & white water-based ink. 

I followed the same process after I had screen printed a t-shirt with a stencil I had made of an APE. I have copied photos of the process into a slide below. What you can see is: 
  • The  set up I use for screen printing - basically a jig I bought of ebay which has ben screwed onto a table
  • The screen with the stencil taped to it
  • The ink I used & the squeegee
  • The final product
I reckon it came out ok. I will post again when I have both the APE & Iggy hanging on my wall.
