    Your video blew my mind dude! I had never heard of block printing on garments... Im familiar with Speedball (used to buy all my inks there), but is their block ink plastisol as well or is it more like waterbase ink? I noticed you don't do a curing or heating up the ink after applying and even mentioned it drying in days... I like your very unorthodox techniques tho. I'm a self taught Screenprinter as well, I feel like we would be good friends. Back in LA I had a store bought press and would get all my supplies at Ryonet. However, the press I use currently is all 100% DIY (out of old screen frames lol) and it works much better. Made my exposure machine as well, and I found your video cuz I'm learning to DIY emulsion haha... keep up the good work buddy!

    I'm a complete beginner and I tried doing the photo emulsion technique of creating a screen so I could get a design idea I had onto a t-shirt. It was a failure. I painted the stuff on the screen in the dark, let it dry, and tried to guess how long to expose it on a sunny day based on what I read online, and I couldn't get it to wash out. I must have exposed it for too long. Complete waste of material. I figured if I tried it a few more times, I would get the hand of it, but that's expensive to keep buying all that stuff. You technique here looks much more doable, and I think I'll give it a try. Thanks for the video.

    I am totally trying this. You just made my day! I share all your sentiments expressed at the beginning of the video: I watched a video on the basics of screen printing, with needing a dark room by a sink, uv lights, special photo printer, printing transparencies & so on, & was left thinking, "I hope there is some alternative method." Your method is AWESOME & totally superior to me. I so much love this idea of actually drawing/ painting out your design by hand, with drawing fluid! It totally feels doable, & within reach, compared to all the stuff I did NOT want to deal with. This is so exciting! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!!... Question: for block printing portion, what do you think of acrylic paint plus acrylic paint fabric medium that you iron? I think it opens a lot more color pigment options beyond the block printing ink??? Any thoughts on this anyone.

    Thank you so much for breaking this down-- knowing it's an option to just paint your design on the screen is WAY more my speed than trying to do the photo exposure process.

    Good job! I learned from a master and 2D art (mainly Screenprinting & Drafting) was my major. Lovely work, this is exactly how I learned and yep-having screens scattered throughout your shower/bathroom can be a totally normal occurrence ;)

    Great info! I really appreciate that you not only screen print/block print, but you do so using your own art. So each shirt is 100% printed by you. I am definitely going to use the screen print method for some bulk canvas totes for farmer's markets

    I've been working with a local shop to print shirts, but now I'd like to learn how to do it on my own. I saw a tutorial using the emulsion chemicals but that's a bit intimidating but this seems easier for my brain. I love how you combine block and screen! thank you!
