350z Silkscreen project
Hi all. This was my 2nd ever attempt at silkscreening so it's a little rough. I just thought I would share... I've never been good at free-handing cars so I thought I'd give this a shot.

Thanks for the comments
this was done by the reductive method. I painted out the stencils with screen filler, printed one color and kept going like that. My runs were in this order: light gray, dark gray, light orange, dark orange, light purple, dark purple, black, then clear for the windshield reflection.
I'm still working on my photo emulsion project. this is what i have so far:
I still have to work out some kind of background or overlay.

Yeah. Im at South Alabama. I really want to take the advanced course when I'm done with this one. I want to get really good at it and possibly do it for some secondary income.

I didn't mean location as in what part of the country...I meant high school, trade school, college? lol
The only way to make good money on it IMO is commercial printing onto apparel. So you'll have to get good at indexing colors from customer supplied images in Adobe Illustrator. Then you print the separations to plastic sheets and make your screens from that using the photo emulsion process. Try to find a shop to work at first and learn the trade then you can save $ to buy the equipment you need to go into business yourself.

Plus, it gives it a more artistic feel this way. You can definitely tell it was done by hand.
