I just finished a new screenprint, which will debut this weekend at the
Rock ' n Roll Craft Show at 3rd Degree Glass Factory here in St. Louis. The print combines a couple of my inspiration/obsessions (
gross food,
local lore, the
St. Louis skyline) and is guaranteed to look good any kitchen. Here were some sketches:
You'll notice that I eventually ditched the Arch-as-Giant-Belly, as well as the Dirt Cheap Chicken's inclusion in the pantheon.
Here were the results of some color tests after mixing up inks. I thought that I could create a
T-Rav /
Brain Sandwich-ish orange by laying a
Provel yellow over the
St. Paul brown ...
... but I also made the happy discovery that laying the
Gooey Butter /
Ted Drewe's yellow overtop of the brown yielded enough of a
Vess green to keep me from adding a fourth ink. Huzzah for semi-translucency!
Working on the print reminded me of
this illustration I did a couple of years ago, showing just how many times I can regurgitate the same local landmarks.
Anyway, the new print is a 3-color, hand-pulled screenprint on wheat-colored Canson Edition paper, edition of 100, 30" x 11 1/4". I'm sellin' 'em for $25 apiece.
Thanks for reading! Hope to see some of you at the Craft Show. I'll be working all day Sunday, if anybody wants to bring me any reference for future prints.

It's fantastic - but I think it would be even better with my mug in the mix! Maybe next year.

How much are the prints?
Thanks everybody! I'm selling them for $25 a pop.
Dan, I want one of these prints! Even though there isn't any spam!
Love your work! My sister bought me this print for my home in Chicago to have a little STL in my loft. Just blogged about you here, too:

Any still available? I def want one!
Nice print! I think it done by special printing method.
These must have already been gone by the time I got to the R&R craft show...got the awesome steamboat one instead, but I'd love to get one of these for the kitchen--any way to still get one?
