Brain Twist Press

My friend Rachel did me a huge favor and let me use her press, which let me print a block I’d had sitting on my desk for far too long.

Also, the printing class at Makers Local went swimmingly – some of the other Makers were able to pull their own shirts!

This Saturday, May 8 at 3PM Makers Local I’ll teach the basics of silk screen printing. In just a few hours we’ll have screens ready to print single color images on paper, canvas or fabric. At the end of the class we’ll start hand printing our own tshirts with our Makers Local logo and other original graphics.

All you need to bring is a blank shirt and your own single color image. For example, our logo -

ML256 Logo

Behold the final product!

Text is fine, any image file format will be okay. If you want help creating your own image, feel free to come by for this week’s Art Night, May 6 at 7 pm and we can make it happen.

I’m going to be at MidSouthCon 2010, in Memphis TN starting next Friday, March 12-14.  I’m getting a dealer’s table and everything, like a big grown-up artist.  Seriously, I’ve been planning to do conventions like this for awhile, but this is going to be the first science fiction convention I’ve ever attended, much less tried to sell my artwork.  Unfortunately someone showed me clips of Klingon Karaoke, and now I’m a little nervuous.  But at the same time, I think the Zulu Death Mask fits in with the alien-warrior race mentality, so it’s all good.

I’ve got a short list of other conventions I’m hoping to attend.  If there’s a particularly awesome con that you think I should attend, drop me a line.

One new print, another state-of-mind relief block.  I also decided to try and change things up a little and do a pen and ink drawing.  I like the results, but it’s a mixed bag because I only have one and I’d hate to part with it.  Hence someone will have to pay more, I suppose.  For the Bovinoids I wound up doing a lot of research at peopleofwalmart.com

Penny Arcade announced they were hiring for an assistant designer, and I think I’d be a great fit for the job.  In addition to all the stuff already here, I created this to go along with my resume.  I’ve also been getting ready for my art show tonight with the CBA, and I’m heading to Atlanta to morrow to see Jonathan Coulton in concert.  It’s been a busy week, but I got this done in an evening.  Which I think says a lot about my efficiency.
