16x20” test print

These test prints are a by-product of the screen printing process. When I'm printing, I often will need to clean something in the screen, adjust alignment or alter a color. So I keep a stack of paper to print on so I don't mess up much of the actual print run. After a while, this stack of pages starts to look pretty cool with lots of layers of color from lots of different layers from posters I've done. Occasionally I go through the stack and pull out the ones that look especially nice and trim them down. So what you have here is a one-of-a-kind screen print or "monoprint" to use a more specific printmaking term. Although many of them share some color layers, no two are exactly the same.

Also, this is just an iphone photo with less than ideal lighting. The colors and detail will look even better in person.
