Monkey Ink Design is named after Alicia’s rescue cat Monkey. A year after we started working under the name it came to our attention that there’s another poster designer out there who goes by Monkey Ink (sans Design.) In fact, there’s a lot of businesses out there with the name Monkey Ink! However, most of them have actual monkey’s as their mascots & ours is a cat named Monkey, which has the irony we happen to be a fan of. Thus, we’ve also started going by MID to make things a little less complicated. Contemporary art space located in the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn specializing in limited edition pop-culture, gig and alternative movie posters. 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.
