Hexamine Heights 30 layer screen print, by Glass-Siren-Studio on Sept 10, 2020 11:06:41 GMT 1, Yes, they nearly killed me making these. I was going out of my mind by the end of the print run. So glad i stuck with them though. I was pleased with the end result. I think these were a once in a lifetime production..... I don't think i would ever go back to doing something this complicated. I was mentally and physically exhausted by the time i'd dragged them over the finish line. There is some serious detail in these...... I've sold a few so far from the batch. Mostly to architects and mid century furniture collectors......
I just thought i'd pop one on here for a reasonable price as a bit of an introduction to what i make..... I'm always looking for new converts as i sell the work myself. I've never really gone done the route of linking up with galleries as i've been so busy and up against it in the studio the last decade experimenting and building printing equipment. Maybe i should start farming out the distribution of my work so i can just get on with making new pieces..... I think i'd prefer that! Just not sure who would be suitable to handle the sales of what i'm producing.....
If you have any thought - feel free to drop me a line...
All the very best

Hexamine Heights 30 layer screen print, by Glass-Siren-Studio on Sept 10, 2020 12:07:00 GMT 1, Yes, totally agree. I guess it would just be a case of finding the right ones to deal with who could really push what i'm doing. I'm full to the brim with ideas and have worked out so many processes with all this silkscreen experimentation that it gives the prints i make a unique look and feel and i'm definitly developing a style of my own though all this so its a shame not to maximize on what i've built up so far.....
At the moment I use fb ads a lot of the time to drive people to my site and get them to know about my work and sell to them that way, it's expensive and can be little hit and miss at times but generally it seems to be working out...... I just wish i could afford to leave the 'traffic tap' turned on full all the time so it was getting more and more visitors each day...... I'd be more than happy with that but its all very trial and error at the moment whilst i'm mastering that side of it..... All positive so far though.....
Fingers crossed this shall continue.....
Cheers

I figured when i started doing all this 13 years ago i'd get the studio built up (I've built the whole equipment set up by hand including the printing press and engineered it to my own spec) and then start to develop the kind of work i wanted to make and master the process side of things through a few years fo solid experimentation which is what i've done. I lived off the back of my work during all this.... It's only now after 13 years i can really focus my energies on where to try and push this.... I may just keep focussing on direct sales from my studio via my site...... There is a lot of chew over at present. Especially with all this virus business going on as well.... A lot of business are having to chance and adapt accordingly.....

Apologies OP. I'm impressed at 30 layers. My back aches after coating my screens.

Just do what you enjoy and hope others like it but you need to get it out there. It's like having the best website but no use if no one knows about it on page 10 of google. |

That's 16 years of pent up frustration and finally back in the premier league.
I'll get back in my box and cease all football references, so I dont derail your thread !
Nice work and GLWTS.
