Been posting my stuff in the sign writing/ gilding thread for a while but this piece feels less lettering and mechanical, a bit more “art”.
It’s an 9 layer Screen Print, reverse printed onto 6mm float glass. With 23ct yellow and 18ct green gold, water gilded. CMYK printed renaissance paintings at 65lpi halftones and a section of 1922 “land hemisphere” map.
It’s all laid out and collaged together digitally then produced into the physical piece. I have never really done stuff like this and it feels like “cheating” art. Always feel unless every think I make was drawn from scratch it doesn’t really count, but who knows.
