Christ, it's Tupac!

I don't often put digital prints on the blog as I do loads and loads.. but occasionally one is a bit special. Images of rappers nothing new but Mr Pac here looks great I think. Proud artist is Daniel Mernagh.

Now you see it..now you don't..

 

A Samuel Johnson inspired print by Jacob Bebbington, about to complete his course at Middlesex University I believe.  I think this is a great use of the varnish layer which was just printed over the top of the black.

Hassan Has It!

Hassan, known as Has, with one of his fabulous creations. This one is a digital print, I did a screen print with him a while back and look forward to doing another very soon.  You can buy his colourful pieces at the West Bank Gallery.

Kwen in London..

A small print for a guy with big ideas. Printed four up on A2 paper in only two colours makes this a print like this cheaper and much nicer than a digital print.  Quentin Vien was going to give them away as a thank you for investors in his animation project.  He kindly mentions Atom on his blog, and its an interesting and amusing read actually..have a look:

Sword Spinoff

Lorenzo Fruzza holds up his Game of Thrones digital print. There is a varnish layer over the swords, done with a screenprint which adds a nice shiny dimension. And with a very different subject matter and different effect I did a similar thing for the next blogee.

For Your Delight.

A series of digital prints for final year student at the London College of Communication, Charlie Mallinson, with added screen layer.  As you can see in the second pic. Charlie is appreciating the shininess of the type.  This was screenprinted on the digital image in two layers of white and then a layer of varnish over the top. Adding a varnish layer is really the only way to get a good glossy finish in my experience.

Scraffer's Salon

George, the man behind Scraffer, got in touch and asked me to print this rather nice Luke Insect designed poster for his group show in Notting Hill. There are some good names there, it looks like it will be worth a trip to the wild west.  Because the print is bled to the edges it is printed on larger paper and then trimmed down.  This not only makes it possible to pick up the prints without covering your hands in ink, and therefore the next sheet of paper, but also means you can keep the registration marks on each sheet. I got them properly trimmed by helpful guys at Reprocity in Hackney Wick and it makes all the difference to the finish.
