Why such subtle colour differences? Hardly seems worth it. Better if they were more strongly coloured IMO.
I think this is the sort of print OMG Posters like... maybe over on Expressobeans too.

Perhaps tell us a story about it.
It's a nice print of an amp as far as I can tell, and you've given details of how it's printed... but not why.

New Screenprint, by Dr Plip on Oct 21, 2015 12:38:44 GMT 1, I'm with happyshopper, don't be disheartened if there's no immediate interest or discussion about the print. You could invite discussion by telling us what inspired you to create it or what makes you enthusiastic about it (edit: Which you've just done, thanks.)
Sometimes if an artist is enthusiastic about something, it rubs off on others.
Also, not everybody that will be into this will be on the forum at the right time to see it. It's a roll of the dice. By commenting on the thread further, you've at least made a few more people aware of it (and attracted comments).
It's a nice image, but not for me, as I was unfortunately born without rhythm and can't play an instrument. But there will be lovers out there for it. Being an artist is about slogging sometimes. And don't take anything personally. If you love something, then you've made something honest and with integrity. Nothing wrong with that.
Oh, and I don't know if it will help or not to put the price and details on the thread?

add edit: saying this because framing is always an issue and this is not a print collectors buy to hold and sell down the line.

New Screenprint, by settingson on Oct 21, 2015 13:12:28 GMT 1, Ok...I am very interested in what speakers and amplifiers represent..see blurb about Spinspeakers in Bombs & Bass post..Loud music obviously but also rebellion and dissent. This takes different forms, sound systems, punk rock, d&b, PAs at political rallies etc. but the appearance of the hardware remains fairly constant. And as a printmaker it is the appearance that excites me. With guitar amps not only is the appearance almost unchanged but manufacturers are making some of them the same as they did fifty years ago because people love the sound. The Fender Concertamp is one of many guitar amps which are iconic and to me represent generations of musicians all rebelling in their own way with their own noise. I like the idea of taking an object which was never designed to be beautiful, and holding it up as something to be appreciated for its elegance and, perhaps because of its implied function, innate beauty. There..
Well, I for one like it more now!! lol Actually I did like it before but as I too cannot play an instrument to save my life having it on my wall would be a constant reminder of that inability!! What I could see however that would give it more appeal to me because I do love my music, (although I hasten to add that my artistic skills are as good as my musical ones so take what I am saying as pure thought process and no idea of execution!) would be some imagery of either a certain genre or artist captured within the weave of the mesh of the amp! Maybe the purity of the Fender image you are looking for would be lost but it would possibly broaden the appeal? Looks well executed as a print though I must say. Keep positive!

New Screenprint, by Happy Shopper on Oct 21, 2015 14:07:23 GMT 1, Thanks guys..interesting...what is not interesting BKBOI is someone telling me what I should have done...76x56cm is a standard size and so has the deckled and torn edges which I love..there is not 'too much negative space' that is how it was intended. Im chilled, just pointing out difference between constructive comments and those which are not.
You asked for opinions... you got them.

Sure it's an opinion, but it's a constructive comment on how the print could be better.
BTW, I agree with BKBOI.

Also I'm glad it's a fender amp and not a Marshall stack. But... For me a print like this would have been a much more attractive prospect @ 30x30 cm with the added bonus of being LP sized. (And probably being half the price tbh). That said I am actually more of a fan of the smaller print in general, I realise some people have no time for them. So...
