Printing Kostas Seremetis Posters for Ready... Steady... Go [VIDEO]

Painting with Prints [Video]

Four AntiDesigns team members, Jay LaCouture, Keith Zoo, Josh Falk, and Mikey Maker, got together to collaborate on a one of a kind screen print collage for an upcoming collective group show. Using 15-25 different pre-existing screens, the group painted 3 pieces of found-cardboard using somewhere around 100 passes of the squeegee. The resulting piece is now showing at the Lincoln Arts Project gallery in Waltham, MA until October 28, 2011, as part of the Boston Art Collective show, curated by Fish McGill.

Sink of Destiny

If you've ever screen printed before, you know that the clean up process is usually the least fun part of the job. Over the past few years we've had our share of sink mishaps... from cleaning screens in our kitchen sink in Fenway, to our kitchen sink in Dorchester (ha!), to two or three slop sinks in Norwood... regardless of the sink, the splatter factor is always an issue. I think we painted the walls of the Norwood studio's "sink room" (read bathroom) every 6 months or so.

Step into the now and we just picked up this dream sink setup. Back lit, splatter walls, and enough water pressure to push a hole into your 305 mesh - this sink has made our year.

Printing Boston's Subway Map - Video

Through our friends at Ward Maps and Boston Coasters, AntiDesigns printed the MBTA's subway map on a couple different t-shirts and hoodie styles. I put together this little video to show the process. Everything will be available on MBTAGifts.com once the site goes live...

This print is a 5-color, hand-pulled screen print. The red and blue lines were printed wet-on-wet, as were the orange and green lines. This video was shot while I printed the last two shirts of the production, that's why you see each of the screens come down twice. The product developers decided to do runs of shirts WITH the station names and WITHOUT them. I really like the look of the subway map without the station names, and tip my hat to the people pushing to do both styles...

Greg Lamarche Prints for Bodega

I got the opportunity to print some dope artwork this week for the Greg Lamarche popup shop at Fourth Wall, where these 18x24 prints will be available for purchase. Check out these process pics:

Screen Printing DIY

A lot of people reach out to us either through random emails or conversations at shows around town asking about how we taught ourselves how to screen print. To be honest, it's a pretty long story. I've thought about laying it all out and doing a 3 or 4 part series on the basics of getting yourself started with screen printing at your house, mainly because the free resources that are out there are pretty scarce. And even when you do find something useful, it usually just scratches the surface.

Turns out, there's a pretty awesome graphic novel called Do-It-Yourself Screenprinting by John Isaacson that does a great job walking you through everything. I picked it up the other a couple years back at Lucy Parson's Center. It's all hand-drawn comic panels, and it walks you through everything from washing out screens in your shower (yikes) to printing on a 6-color press and working in a real shop. It's half "how-to" and half "story of how I learned to screen print."

Very well done, and available on the interweb.
