Adventure by Design - Custom Truck Portraits

That's awesome!! I haven't done screen printing since high school.. always found it kinda relaxing. My dad had almost the same set up kinda, did all his at home down in the basement.

 

My truck is getting closer and closer.

I'd say 6 months out and then it's time for a portrait!

 

My buddy got me interested in all this and he's got a much better setup, but I have to start somewhere. It's fun just wish I had more time to spend on it. Between work and doing paintings on the side time to work on prints seems almost nonexistent.
I'll just keep stealing a few minutes here and there and see how it shapes up.

I'll be ready when you are!

 

Hey Scott, it's on like Donkey Kong!

Little light-house painting for my sister-in-law I started recently.

 

Added a bit more today

 

Getting closer.....

 

Nice!

 

So much detail!

 

Added this pic to the Headstrong Offroad contest.

 

Well, the first print wasn't as good as I had hoped, but yet again with each print it gives me clues as to what needs to be fixed.


Here's a few pics of some of the issues I found.




1. Line work is inconsistent some thinner lines did not push the ink through.
2. I guess when I put the emulsion on it went on a little too thin because it let's through quite a few pinholes.
3. Then somehow I cut off the last 1/4in of the print area.
4. Paper I used had too much texture, need to use a smooth surface watercolor paper next time.


All will get fixed, I might even re-screen the frame, I think the mesh may be too big for this type of print.

I'm going to doctor this print up by filling in the parts that were missed and then add some splashes of color.

ANY SUGGESTIONS ON COLOR CHOICES FOR THE TRUCK ARE WELCOME!

 

Very nicely assessed!!!

I'm a big fan of burnt orange...may have something to do with my upbringing.

 

Still in complete awe of mine. Thanks again

That would be awesome, can't wait to see it!

 

Your welcome good sir! I'm just as pleased with the outcome of that one, plus I love nubble light too! Lots of family memories up there.

 

Sweet who's ride?

 

Nobodys, just doing it for fun. Thinking of making a generic print series.

 

Making some T Shirts? I'll take one sir.
