just wondering why you opted to screen-print over hand-spray? not feeling the canvas tbh, the image looks incomplete without the white face/hand.

Great to see the finished piece. Really like how it turned out! AWESOME JOB AP.

I think AP told me each colour plate was sprayed to make the final print look more like a spray with under/overspray.
I know he's been working his socks off to get this out as the image is obviously topical at present and also with TB&TC, Upfest, T-Shirts, art for said shows he's been a busy man.

Damn, cheers Jusdeep, forgot to say why I didn't hand spray rather than screen print them.

A JD said I did hand spray each of the colour films to produce the screens, I really like to keep a feel of the stencil in the print. Doing a small hand sprayed paper edition would be fine, but when you get up to certain numbers you'd have to be re-cutting the stencil many times as and when all the holes start to clog up with paint. This also means there's a problem with a consistent quality throughout the edition.

Thanks mj.

Here's a couple of photos of a hand finished version... all information will be posted shortly, thanks for being patient.

Different view from Ross really like the way that the oil sprays off the canvas edition any reason you decided not to do it on the print?

wonka, the APs are the proofs I collected to make sure the quality was ok. There is no difference to the regular edition... but they're marked as an AP and the smaller edition.

Hmmmmm never really been a fan of artists selling A/P's that are identical to the normal print but then passing them off as a smaller run.

Yours to do as you please with though.

Would have been cooler if you'd done some wacky colours but I guess then you wouldn't be able to use the BP angle.

I like it, but think hand sprayed would have been better and cheaper to produce.
Even for a run of 40 prints. I dont think you would have needed no more than 2 stencils and im sure they do not take that long to cut

Thanks for taking the time to explain AP. I like the oil spray too but the missing white layer is this first thing my eyes are drawn to. Nice print though & good to see a special edition

Thanks for the info AP

Did anybody hear whether they got one of these?

Apologies, I have just been off the phone for a second time to my email company... to cut a long story short it seems the first time I sent out the email the subject line got caught in their spam filter so they didn't send it! The only reason I knew it hadn't gone through was I cc'd it to myself. After the first call and getting this info. I resent the email with a different subject line, 'Screen print confirmation emails to be sent out Friday 11 June', cc'ing myself in again it never came through!!!! Ahhh

Third time lucky and all that, I have sent them all again with a shorter subject line and they seem to have gone through.

I apologise for the time it's taken to get back to everyone, thanks for being patient.

Beer time!
