I had mentioned a few months ago the break of Nick Paparone with Art In The Age Of… Thankfully he didn’t run off to Brooklyn and instead threw himself into Print Liberation - a kind of Philly print-house/visual agency/brand development/clothing shop/all-around creative enterprise. They just came out with a bunch of new t’s and are dropping their “Print Liberation: The Screen Printing Primer“, which Paparone authors, in a few months. The book introduces the screen printing process to novices and gives some more advanced techniques to more experienced printers who are trying to hone their skills.
Amazon Description: Print Liberation is a comprehensive DIY guide to screen printing for both novice crafters as well as experienced artists. The book begins by giving readers a brief history of screen-printing while outlining the basic principles of the process including the equipment and tools needed to get started. Step-by-step instructions accompanied by full-color photographs show readers the various methods for making great screen prints and tips on how to avoid screen-printing mistakes. Information about printing on various surfaces from wallpaper to t-shirts, cylinders and more gives readers a general understanding of the various applications for screen-printing and solid information on how to turn their screen prints into a personal art or business. Bonus sample images formatted for screen-printing are included for readers to use in their own screen prints.
As to the shirts, really nice stuff. I love this Obama shirt, so obnoxious and awesome. See below for some other samples. Buy stuff here. Cheap. Good. Philly. Enjoy.
