On Wednesday, Allan was working on a
multi-layer screenprint based on a countryside photo he took in
Virginia. It will be a seventeen-color print, and he's working on
layer number twelve or so today. In the photo that shows the two
prints, the darker one is a mistake: the ink went on too dark. When
doing seventeen layers, the registration is important for getting the
location of the ink right. Allan is using acrylic-based ink, not
ketchup or coffee, though the latter is possible. It's been four and
half years since he learned screenprinting here at Pyramid Atlantic,
took to it, and stuck with it; and he has some amazing photos of
pieces in his portfolio.
