I am officially GEEKED! My sons might just say I'm a geek but that's a different story. In this case I am 'art geeked' about a package I got in the mail today.
As you can see by the picture I received my Speedball Deluxe Screen Printing Kit. Do I know anything about screen printing? No. Okay...I did a little bit of screen printing in a college art class in 1981 [yes, I said '81...as in the year].
Anyway, my mind reels at the possibilities of things I can make. The first thing my rock star son said was "can you make t-shirts"? Yes, I suppose I can. And I probably will, but not the kind he's thinking. I'm more interested in creating simple prints and cards. Being able to screen print means that I can create a large run of a print. Of course I could always print something using my awesome Epson 1400 13"x19" printer, but there's something special about a handmade print. Each one is unique unto itself.
Aren't we all!?
