· Baby's First Screenprint!
After many years of being a silksceening wanna-be I finally got around to do some genuine screenprinting (as opposed to the wonderful, but somewhat limiting medium of Gocco), with my pal Sarah Gion... She hadn't done any printing since high school, which was a relief; my rather paranoid fear of being chastised by a "pro" had kept me from asking various aquaintances for a leason. Anyways, the overall process was at turns fun, frustrating, and inspiring. Our first project: Posters for the fast approaching SF Zine Fest!
I am definitely going to be taking John Issacson's silkscreening workshop at the fest! This is one of the tidier prints! Hopefully practice makes decent, if not perfect...
Now that my roommate Danielle has vacated for the greener pastures of a sewing studio under Stitch I am planning on converting our house's back room into a silkscreening/comix making workspace for Family Style. Millions of thank yous to both Danielle and Jenny Dickow who has lent us tons of supplies. Very exciting!

nice work! very nice work on the letters that came out on the bottom. impressive that your first print was 2 passes. can i buy your gocco then?
see you in october. good luck with the zine fest.
Very nice! I just read your "Some Girls" comic and I loved it. I always have a crush on at least 3 guys at once, so it was great to read. I just found out about the Zine Fest from a Myspace friend, so I'm definitely coming. Maybe I'll meet you.
