t-shirt print



This one was not at the kitchen table - I printed it at East London Printmakers - you could print this at home, but would need some equipment to prepare the screen.  This is a t-shirt I printed for a birthday present for a friend who likes meditation and motorbikes.  I made the print by scanning in the cover of the book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence, printing out the scanned image, coating a screen with photo-sensitive emulsion and exposing the stencil onto the screen using a uv lightbox.  I then printed it in a bright blue colour on the t-shirt.
