Having done some process screen printing (to a much, much more rudimentary level!), I can appreciate how difficult to produce that would have been! I love the way the paintings have come out. So was it something like CMYK + 5 spot colours? Does that include the gold, or was that done as a separate process?
AlexD-
yeah, it was 3 layers of Screen Printing to build up the gold, 2 spot colours and the CMYK. plus some painting and a bit of glitter for effect.
Hard to show how mad it is in real life.
I want to sell them but it's difficult to get money for them without them being seen. Might have to put on my big boy trousers and go into a gallery and see if they will sell it for me.

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.
