Last night, my wonderful girlfriend (Deadbeatsister) and I lit the creative fires in her silkscreen studio, and got down and dirty printing my design "Only The Dead" on a variety of shirts and apparel. I'll have a couple dozen of the finished shirts for sale at Wondercon (Feb 22 - 24), and she'll have a variety of pieces with the design on sale at The Mission Indie Mart (Feb 24), this weekend.
We printed the first layer of the design in an electric blue and a bright green. The photos don't do these colors justice. They literally explode off the fabric. We'll be printing the top layer of the image, tonight, in a couple different colors. I'll be posting pics from that tomorrow, if all goes well.
After the rigorous print session, we enjoyed a late dinner (caramelized tofu w/ brussle sprouts) and "The Crying Game." But poor, little Yoshimi was all sorts of tuckered out. She fell asleep before the shocking ending! Guess I won't return the DVD to Blockbuster, just yet.
