False Idols

[mono_666]

Any idea what the others in the series will be? Any info on the series?

[jcooper]

my basic idea is to take religious icons and place them in a contemporary setting......i have the next one ready to print next week......i'm not sure how many i'll end up doing in the series.....i'll probably just keep going with it until i tire the idea out.....

Just finished my newest print in the series entitled "Mari" and i managed to get some photos of the process......


laying down the first color......


first color done.....


a studio full of prints........( i can hold 80 in the racks and a few on the floor)


laying down the yellow (some of the yellow will layer over the orange)



yellow color down with a test print on top....



making sure it all lines up with the black film.....



3rd color (gray) done......this will be important for the next color...



after a busted screen and a 12 pack of beer, i finally got the red going...



red print done.........notice red over grey = maroon........



getting ready for the last screen.......crossing my fingers..........



SUCCESS!!!



finally finished!



close up...



my only red and black variant (make me an offer?)



the actual photoshop channels .....pretty damn close!



i printed about 5 without the yellow for another variant...

[jcooper]

oh, and i'll pick out the good ones and sign and number them tomorrow........looks like i'll have about 50 or more good ones.......
