I'm a Raven

For many years Rhys Cooper lived a double life, mild mannered clothing and fashion designer by day and poster artist by night (and weekends)... Graduated from Swinburne University in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia, he discovered the world of gig posters thanks to Beyond the Pale Posters in his 4th and final year. After the following 6 years in streetwear a decision was made to focus on posters and he hasn't looked back since. Rhys has proudly created work for bands such as Queens of the Stone Age, The Bronx, Them Crooked Vultures, Mark Lanegan, Rage Against The Machine and many others as well as working with the Alamo Drafthouse and the charity Movember.Spoke Art is San Francisco’s newest art gallery and publishing house.

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.
