Series 2 Part 2

I found some more time this week to finish the last of my screen prints. This means I know only have to color them by airbrush. Unfortunately this is the hardest part as I need to figure out which color works best and how to do it. I am making these series in editions of 8 so it's going to be a lot of airbrushing. I have finished 3 out of 6 so far and am wondering about 1. not sure if the series will be 5 or 6 different prints in the end.

Here's a little preview of the last picture I printed today:

Series 2

Besides failing a lot of stuff lately I also managed to create some prints this week. I am working on a second series of airbrushed screenprints and have printed the first 4 images this week. Hopefully this weekend I will find some time to try out some airbrush and see what color works best.

A little preview of my printing in progress (let me know if you can guess the car on that one), and a finished screenprint waiting for some color.

Wrecsam

Thank you for your recent application to Print International, we are pleased to inform you of your success in being selected.

Thats how the e-mail started that I found in my inbox yesterday. A big thank you goes out to Rhian Haff who told me about this exhibition in Wales and pushed me to apply for it.

This means I will have another show where my work is going to be exhibited, 4 prints in total.
I am very excited about this and got lot's of new things on my mind for new work.

I will keep you updated on this.

Always working

As you can't force or shut down creativity, I often find myself working in the weekends (have to say its actually quite nice when its quiet in the college). This time I am still trying to get my panels to rust the way I want them too, which is more difficult then I thought. At least they are finally rusting and hopefully I can finish at least one of them soon.

Instagram

As if there weren't enough way to share information with each other, I have now decided to give Instagram a try. I'm not completely sure how it works yet but it seems better then Lightbox which I used to use. I have uploaded some cutout of pictures I am thinking about of using for a new series of screenprints, just to have a little look at them myself. If you are interested and not annoyed by switching between all these different websites have a look on http://instagram.com/sander_schoonbeek.
