It is time for an update! Emilia and I have been hard at work figuring out our production methods. Now that our layouts are on the roll, the fun has begun.
We had our quickly rendered layouts printed at their size and then commenced the image-making experiments. We turned our kitchen into a studio and our hallway into a gallery.

The first experiment was just screenprinting one of our images at home... but we agreed the image was too contrasty.
Next we tested out image transferring from a laser print using nail varnish. Below you can see the original laser print out beside the marbled version the nail varnish produced. On the same sheet we tried out the neon inks we selected and used our names as stencils. We purchased some acetone which didn't work as well... so it's back to the original idea of screenprinting the images.
Layout print out before screenprinting the gradient
The print out after the gradient was applied. It was a little tricky to do using an A4 screen!
So right now we're considering how the images will look if we laser print the text with a few images as in the photo above, and then screenprint the large images on the back. Any thoughts?
