Fundraising screenprint for StokeyLocal

I've just finishing screenprinting this 4 layer CMYK screenprint to help raise funds for Stoke Newington's Stokey Local campaign. It's a limited edition of 40 prints on 300g Fabriano paper, it measures 30x40cm and is available to buy for just £40.

Importantly, every penny from the sale of these hand-pulled screen prints will go to the Stokey Local Community Fund, helping them to take their case to the Court of Appeal.

So, if you'd like to buy one of this limited edition of 40 prints and contribute to a worthy local cause, please contact me via email: contact@beyondthrilled.com.

CMYK halftone screenprint -Tom eating spaghetti

Yesterday I printed my first four colour (CMYK) halftone screenprint. I'm pretty happy with the result, particularly considering I printed it in my spare room with my home made exposure unit, and registered each colour using an acetate sheet. It was also quite a challenge making sure the screens were burned well enough to pick up all the halftones.

The image area is 22x27cm and individual colours are shown below as they were laid down.

New screenprint - Smiling Chicken Head

A new print! I've recently had to spend some time reprinting my "No Underground. Get Over It" open edition screenprints as they're selling so well, but I also found time to print this one. Much bigger than my previous prints - and my first purely CMYK screen print - this is an image that's been rolling around my brain and sketchbook for a while now. I'm particularly pleased with the chicken's toothy grin. 

It's printed (as always) using permanent water-based inks, on 300gsm Somerset paper with a deckle on each edge and measuring 22"x30". It's a very small edition of 10 and will be shipped to customers in a sturdy cardboard tube, and will be available shortly via my Culture Label and Etsy online shops.
