demo art piling up


Comrade Mao, made the other day. He just exists in digital form for now (could it be pedagogical to print him as well? Probably)


Saturday I gave a one-day-workshop in "Photoshop: preparing for screen printing". Always when teaching I make some "demo art" in different ways and styles - which means I make something just for the purpose of showing the principles. Now these "art pieces" - existing in a sort of limbo just for the sake of pedagogic - really have started piling up. They need a drawer of their own. I wonder how many I will have in the end? ( I don't sell them of course)


DigitalArts has got great photoshop tutorials, like this one for example
two screen prints made during a demonstration printing session - to show how you can make simple images with an open frame using only a cut mask in yellow pages paper (left) or by painting directly in the open mesh (right) before pulling the squeegee. 

one of my first demo prints made some years ago

I like how you say that these will need a drawer of their own... ever the hive of creative industry you are. It is inspiring to see.
