Magic Runs Thicker

James Eads is a multi-disciplinary artist with a passion for both art and design. In his work, James challenges the concrete reality that we live in – he plays with color and motion to form a world of believable fiction and like a map to this new world, his pieces act as illustrations for something previously unknown. James Grew up in Los Angeles and lives in Brooklyn. He works as a freelance illustrator and produces a flurry of musically inspired art. He is currently available for commission work. Screen 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.
