John Fahey Ink Painting (finished)

Here's the finished painting bit rough round the edges on the background but I like it that way at the moment. I'm currently working on some stencil versions of this for a painting jam called Paint and Beer I'm taking part in in a couple of weeks. So stay tuned.

Ink Painting Process (Part 1)


In order to understand what I do when I'm painting I'm trying a little experiment. I've been taking photos of a portrait of Son House I started today (so far 45 minutes of painting). More later....

Screen Printing Setup Part 1



Here are a couple of photos of the underside of the vacuum table I'm making for my screenprint setup. Its made from a laminated table top I got from the dump (nothing like free wood). The table is 120cm x 80cm with a vacuum area of 110cm x 60cm. The channels are being done with a router and the holes in the top are drilled with a 2mm bit. Fingers crossed its gonna work.
