Thought Bubble: Power Rangers Screen Print

Today I had my re-induction into screen printing. I was going to work on my Printed Pictures brief for OUIL 504 but due to my own failure to manage my workload correctly in that area I didn't have a suitable piece ready. However I had been working on a Green Power Ranger piece in my spare time last week for Thought Bubble 2014 so decided to use that.

Initially the screen printing went well in terms of set up, exposure and paint colour, then I came to do the second screen colour and realised that I hadn't placed markers on my colour layers. This resulted in me having to guess slightly where certain layers would land. Still, of the 10 screens produced, one came out well. This is something I need to be aware of in the future.

Using the screen that worked I edited it on Photoshop to have a worn effect similar to what memorabilia from the 90's would presumably look like today. This is quite in keeping with the spirit of 'collective culture' often seen at such conventions so I am quite pleased with the outcome. I plan to mass print these digitally for the Thought Bubble event.
