Screen prints: Arcs04-00 (2-color print in edition of 50, 20×16″)

I’m excited to announce a new project in a new medium: Arcs04-00 and Arcs04-01 are silkscreened prints for Random Number Multiples, a new division of Random Number curated by Christina Vassallo. The debut release will consist of two prints by Jer Thorp aka blprnt (see his Flickr set) and these two by myself, and will be for sale through Random Number on February 1st.

It might seem ironic to use silk screening as an output for code-based processes, but my reasons for pursuing this medium go beyond mere nostalgia. In my work with physical formats I am always looking trying exploit the inherent nature of the medium at hand, whether it’s CNC milling, 3D printing or inkjet. Silk screening gives a very different print quality from inkjet or 4-color offset, with much richer solid colors. In these prints I’ve explored the use of overprinting to create a graphic effect, and I’m very excited about the results.

The four prints will be released in an edition of 50 and will sell online for $100 each. Random Number Multiples will officially launch February 1st, interested readers should check out the Random Number blog post which also includes information about how to pre-order.
