León here, so this is the first of my blogs about my work. Currently I am working on screen printing as the medium for my project, today I will show 4 "works" but unlike my little brother I am just going to talk about them all in a general sense instead of talking about each one individually but I will briefly comment on each "work".
Recap:
So I am doing screen printing and our project is collections. As I have mentioned before I am collecting heart based art works from my friends whom I send snail mail to.
So my screen prints are basically various prints of heart art. As a starting point I decided to print on envelopes and cards which I am planning on sending to all my friends. The plan is once they receive the mail they write on the card and send that card back to me, while they keep the envelope which had the same art work printed on to it. They are also required to either write something on the back of the card or draw something or just anything that just shows they have received the card physically. Anyway let us get to the work.
These are just my first practice ones (like my brother, I will first show you what I started off with and will gradually show you more and more recent work). They are fairly bad printing and the pictures on them are also fairly terrible but they do what I wanted.
Card 1: Heart and Ring
A pretty simple print and a very sh*t image actually, I guess it was just a starting point trying to figure out what to do and how to do it.
"
Card 2: "I give you my heart"
Same as the previous ones, just a terrible print of a bad image.
Card 3: Abstract heart
I quite like this one because the image is abstract and doesn't really show that it is a heart. Plus the red card being printed on with black ink is quite nice connecting with the notion of hearts and how hearts are usually red.
Card 4: Various hearts
I really like this one, probably because it looks like it actually is a card made like that. Plus the designy look to it makes it seem like a card made to be sent out to friends and such.
So those were my first few card prints. I am going to develop the images more and the quality/techniques of the printing is going to have to increase a lot. I have made quite a few more cards which I will show and discuss on another time, for now these cards show the basic idea of my screen printing "collections work". The work is still in its early stages so it has a long way till it is presentable.
Anyway thank you for reading, will post sometime soon I hope,
menos de tres <3
¡hasta luego!
León
