100

Today I went to a course on horror in movies and society and people were talking about zombies. Todays lecture was pretty okay, but I'm afraid the course won't be concentrating on the kind of horror I'm actually interested in, since it's very much based on media studies.
Anyway, all that talk about zombies made me draw another one:

But I'm not sure about printing this one...I'm still feeling uninspired about my work.


btw: This is my 100th post! Yay! 

Yes, I'm now the owner of a pair of zombie arms.

There is no title

The new semester starts tomorrow, so this probably means less uploading...
I'm feeling a bit "meh" again anyway.

Bling bling

Yay, today I printed gold! ...Or, at least I used golden paint for printing.

I did two different version of this picture. 
I thought the black/gold combination might look pretty cool without the other colours. Sadly I only did 4 prints of that version, since I didn't want to use up all of my paper. I've got 11 of the other one, because I had some paper, which has some misprints on its back, left and I wanted to get rid of it. So I printed the fullcolour picture on it, because the paint hides the misprints.

Unfortunately the photos won't show the golden glitter, so I took a close up, hoping it would prove that there actually is metallic paint on the prints. But it's...meh...you just have to trust me on the gold:

The prints are about 29 x 36 cm.

 

Also I somehow got my armpit painted blue while printing. I don't know how or why I did this, but...well, I just did it. :D

(Btw: yes, I finally got my hair cut!)

Close enough

Today I finished printing my postcards, but they didn't turn out the way I wanted them. 
I tried printing with golden paint for the first time and I found out (when it was too late, of course) that you have to use a special kind of screen for this type of paint. Because that paint contains glitter particles, it won't go through the fine texture of the screens I used.
So now the parts on the cards, which should actually be golden, look more like some kind of slightly glittering yellow.
I don't think they turned out very bad, but they still don't look like I imagined them.
But today I also found a screen for printing with metallic paint, so I'm going to think up a new picture with some gold in it and hopefully I'll be able to start printing it tomorrow.
