Voodoo Catbox Printmaking Process
Howdy Folks. Hope y’all are keeping well and hanging in there. Like a lot of others, we’ve seen jobs & events we take for granted go by the wayside. So in order to keep busy and stay focused, we figured it might be a good idea to be constructive and make some prints having to do with political or social issues. We also thought it might be nice to document the process of making a screen print.
We broke this down into 4 segments. The 1st of which covers the initial concept sketch and transforming that drawing into a scratchboard illustration, which will be the focus of the print.
Part 1 – Illustration
Part 2 – Color Separations
Part 3 – Preparing Screens
Part 4 – Printing
