Adventures in Screenprinting

Adventures in Screenprinting

This last weekend, Angela got me a Valentine’s Day gift (we tend to observe holidays loosely, insofar as the exchanging of gifts is concerned): a screenprinting kit. Woo! I’ve fiddled with home-made t-shirts before, sharpee markers and iron-ons and so forth, so more than anything this experiment is an attempt to, in Legasi-esque fashion, take it up a notch.

And so, yes: a five-minute stencil job with a pencil, a ruler, and an x-acto knife, and I had this kickin’ design good to go. We fumbled about at first, trying to figure the best way to go about applying the ink (and how much to apply), but after a couple of trial prints on paper and a failed attempt on a black t-shirt, we had success!

It’s not a great picture — Angela snapped it last night, so the lighting was hell — but that’s the nice thing about a decent logo: it stands out. And what better image to slap across your chest than that dollar-billin’ conspiracy-frontin’ emblem of hidden power and mystery, the All Seeing Eye?
