A Bigger Boat

Featuring artists both local and national, Guzu Gallery is proud to present their first themed art show, “Strange Beasts: A Tribute to the Japanese Kaiju Phenomenona”. A band of twenty rogue artists has been assembled to defeat… ahem, pay homage to… those mighty, mammoth monsters from the movie and TV screens of Japan. As we speak, kaiju are awakening all over the world. Soon the invasion will begin at Guzu Gallery!

I got into the screenprint business almost 5 years ago, and have about 65 prints in my portfolio so far. Aside from the whole "print-thing", I also like brewing my own beer, grinding my own meat, baking my own pizza, and shooting a great round of golf. I also designed a website to catalog and commemorate the end of my collection of Star Wars action-figuresScreen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, seriography, and serigraph.
