Brains

Yesterday I said I'd need a break from all the blood in my pictures...well, that was a short break. :D
Just some digital stuff:

I don't know why I'm currently so much into drawing brains. Maybe I'm slowly turning into a zombie...that would be awesome.

Break

I guess I need a break from all these bloodsoaked pictures. 
So here comes something different:

 

 

Fan art

Today I printed some fan art. :D
Both screenprints, about 30 x 42 cm or so.

The black knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail

"This' but a scratch!"

And Derek from Bad Taste

"I'm a Derek. Dereks don't run. "

I only got an even worse photo of Derek, so that's actually the original digital drawing up there. But the print looks almost the same...

Hot off the press

Yesterday evening, at 6 pm, there should have been an important lecture at my uni. So I rushed there, but had to find out that it was cancelled.
Instead of going home I stayed to work in the printing studio. I never worked there that late and when I was done it was already 10:40 pm, but it was actually pretty good, since no one else was there to get in my way.
I printed the Nom nom nom picture. I was eager to find out if everything would work out the way I planned it (especially the part with the layer of white paint).
While working I took some photos of the printing process.
Here you go:

First things first, here's my screen before it's been coated:

Here's the original for the layer of grey paint, laying on the lightbox:

Then comes the screen after it's bee exposed, the violet stuff is the coating and the light parts are the images which are going to be printed:

 Here's the screen while printing the layer of brown paint for the brain wafer (which is a good title for the picture, I guess):

 And here's what the picture looked like after adding each layer of paint (forgot to take a photo of the grey layer though):

Et voilà! The finished print:

I really expected it to look worse, the colours don't look exactly the way I wanted them, but I guess it turned out okay.

Also here are some pictures of my hands being maltreated:
