Adirondack Drying Rack

Couple a recycled screens in the cooker. After stripping the old screens of ink and emulsion, they are dehazed, degreased, recoated with emusion, allowed to dry, burned with new images and blasted with water until they finally come to rest in the Adirondack Drying Rack.

Pink Eye and Printers' Fair

Big thanks to everyone who came by the Craft Council Craft Fair this past week! I'm looking forward to being at these two great events this coming weekend: Pink Eye Autumn Art Sale on Saturday and the annual Printers' Fair on Sunday. Both are happening at The Rocket (upstairs in the studio space), Water Street, St. John's. I'll have my t-shirts and linocuts at both these events.

Faux swag

Hot off the press... some faux swag for a long defunct Newfoundland enterprise, the Superior Rubber Company.

Clean screens

Several hours today were spent on the glamorous job of rejuvenating old screens. Stripped of emulsion, dehazed, degreased with a power wash between each. New emulsion going on tonight and they'll be ready for new designs tomorrow. Time to order more t-shirts!

Cod Liver oil vintage ad

I took advantage of yet another sleepless night to play around with a vintage ad (circa 1880s) as a possible 2-colour t-shirt design. The graphic shows an option for a light colour shirt and one for dark. I love the line "Palatable as milk" (though they had me at "hypophosphites").

Alphonse goes to Some Good Market

Alphonse finally got his mug on a t-shirt! Printing these today for Some Good Market Comes to Town at Canon Wood Hall (aka St. Thomas Hall) on Military Road, Saturday Oct. 19, 10am-4pm. Come on down! I'll have shirts, linocuts, prints of my paintings, and new embossings. (And please say hello to Alphonse or he'll get his nose out of joint.)

Charles Puffin t-shirts

After a few months of gathering gear and ordering supplies, I've started a little screen printing operation with my friend and t-shirt mentor Doug Bird. Having a great time with the process. Our first screen is based on my Charles Puffin linocut... I suppose Alphonse Moose will have to be next or he's going to get his nose out of joint.
