Day 2 Start blog, James Sienna Print, Screenprinting

"We Print Stuff," was the old Photoscan mantra mixed with the smell of ink, paint thinner, emulsion and BO. Or something to that extent. I met up with Ke and Larry down at FHE after not seeing them around the VAB. Rode out to the studio and started to learn about the trials and tribulations of finicky presses and even finickier ex-wives. A laugh was shared, making headway as the intern. So, the word is the James Sienna ( an artist in residence at the Atlantic Center) print job started as a drawing and now exists as kind of a "reverse woodcut". I will hopefully provide photos soon, but just imagine building up a piece with wood and then printing it out on paper. Looks like a numbered maze/sudoko in black and red ink.

We screened some more of the poetry book proofs, matched the colors, and tried to nail the registration. I talked to Larry about monoprints. Will try to make some this summer.
