Three colors, about 14″ x 22″. Sourced layers from collected images and patterns in my image library. Trotted down to the library with a jar of pocket change and made a couple hundred copies, scanned them back in to make a mockup for the client, then and burned some screens.
Printed the layers as transparent as possible, going yellow > magenta > cyan. In printing the cyan layer, ran out of transparent base. Added golden acrylic gel medium as a substitute, which began to dry in the screen between prints. Eventually resolved by scrubbing out the screen and adding trans extender base and retarder base to the mix. Some screen clogging is visible to the left of “Moby” in the horizontal blue band.
I listened to quite a bit of Moby before starting. Layered, interesting, melodic… I see a rift between his music and much of his existing album and poster art. Dry, Helvetica-heavy, clinical. I kept the Helvetica in this print; put my own spin on his sound. Pardon the pun.
