"Sea Dragon" ©1990 10 Color Silkscreen Print 11"x13" This Limited edition series is truly limited. For all three of my dragon prints, I used the same hand cut films to create successive gradations of color. I screened a base light color and then cut into that colors film to create the next darker shades screen. This process destroys the previous shades film. Also each color was hand mixed from universal tints in clear medium. I also used judicious combining of different colors to get additional colors.
"Dragon Fly" ©1985 23 color Silkscreen Print 11"x13". This was my most ambitious multi-impression silkscreen print. The sky was created by using screen block-out painted directly on the screen. Successive layers block out more in the screen making impossible to exactly reproduce. In the end the screening process I used produced very accurate registration over 23 successive impression to create 100 final wholly original prints.
"Fyre Drake" ©1985 14 color Silkscreen Print 11"x13". This was the first of the Dragon series. The fidelity of the line work was achieved by using photo emulsion on 200+ thread count screens. All screens have long since been reclaimed for other projects.
"Fantasticon V" ©1985 3 color silkscreen print 9.5"x10.5". This piece was created for display and sale at local regional convention in Northern California. Art promoting the convention always incorporated an astronaut interacting with a dinosaur.
"Airlock Guard" ©1985 3 color silkscreen print 11"x13". Part of a short series of robot scenes using spot color almost like the two-tone interior illustrations from the 1940's.
"Red Alert" ©1985 3 color silkscreen print. This corridor was heavily influence by Rand Holmes, underground cartoonist, who stole liberally from Wally Wood, legendary cartoonist, illustrator, author, musician and graphic novelist.
"Plumber's Truck" ©1984 3 color silkscreen print 8.5"x10". One of the fine art prints we did on occasion at Wilcox Graphics for our clients, (who usually needed T-shirts and coffee mugs). I designed the piece to print on tinted paper, so white is one of the three colors. I was definitely aiming for an R. Crumb quality with this inking.
