I just finished three new small-ish mixed media pieces. I started out by sketching out a simple line drawing of the portrait, then scanned it in and used the sketch to create a halftone pattern for screen printing. Then, printed the image on primed panels and went back into the image using my normal methods of painting. Mixing the mechanical looking screen prints with some pixelated looking painting seemed like a good combination and, overall I am pretty happy with the results. I am thinking about pushing this technique further by using more layers in the screen print but I need to mull the ideas over a little more before I make the leap. In any case, would love to get some feedback on these pieces and, if you like them, head on over to Lot F where all three (one printed in red, one printed in blue, and one printed in black) are available for sale this month.
By the way, excuse the junky cell phone photo, sent the pieces out without getting a decent image… oops.
