never delete this video ahaha i'm doing a shirt business and am looking to do screen printing
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!
You inspire me! THank you for sharing Megan! Love you :)
The plushie drawings remind me of bee and puppycat
And then you had them 😭
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.
Why did u have to explain this method in a simple & concise manner now I don’t have an excuse not to do it now thanks 🤭❤️❤️
This video has been so helpful for me. Thank you!
Thank you , very good information
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.
Cutie! 😌❤️🩹💐🕊️✨
Hi! Can you please activate the automatic subtitles?
love how honest you were about your process, very pretty sketchbook
my favorite videos are the sketchbooks with the random notes and the planning, because they feel so real and i love seeing how other artists do things!
You're adorable. I'm lol-ing!
I’d absolutely watch a video on your box of sketches. I love this so much!
Amazing. Great talent😮
I love love loooove your spreads and filled pages. So fun and gorgeous!
This was a good one.
SO DOPE!! Thanks for sharing these go so crazy!! Looks like you’re having so much fun, made me wanna draw with copics more!! Sonic spread is a magnum opus
my “shit books” are also planners! I write a lot of notes and grocery lists in them 😭 mostly just a place to organize my thoughts!
🦑🦑🦑
What version that sketchbook and the size?? Looks so nice to draw in
Cute!! Do you mostly have sketchbooks where you stick to a specific style? My ones look like 15 different artists drew in them haha. Yours are so aesthetically pleasing ❤
Am I the only one who says Toe-Guh-Tick? XD
Yes please on tour. This heals my brain. ❤
I'd watch a tour! Love your art
How long does the print last with washing in detergent?
Thanks
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.
Don"t destroy your beautiful skin with ink tatoos.
ai is the new thing to bash now (pun intended).. photo bashing is old news now .
that's actually pretty clever
especially since ai cant be copyrighted
This was an amazing, very thorough video. Thank you SO much.
so much attention to detail.. it’s like artisanal at this point 😂
Thanks Megan! This screening printing technique is genius! It will save me so much time and energy.
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 ;)
beautiful generous artist. good luck to you
Thank you so much for sharing this!!
Is it normal for the some of the drawing fluid and the screen ink to leak through?
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
nice. old school. i have been looking at getting back in to this and glad we still have this process. nice job on the video!
WONDERFUL! I'm teaching printmaking and was looking for techniques & equipment that my students can easily use at home as well. Thank you!
great job, thanks
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!
Hi Megan! What kind of ink do you use for stamp on fabric? Brand? Is organic staff? Thanks!!
I love your style so much! Your use of color and texture is so inspiring and my mind struggles to wrap around how to do that in my own work. So cute <3
great video thx!! Feels like genuine vibes over here!
Can I use these brushes for clip studio on windows?
