Printing new albumn T Shirts for Melbourne Band "Sunday chairs"

Love starting the process with colour matching!


The band wanted to explore their audience's needs by offering up some vibrant colours, showcased on quality cotton T shirts. It took me some time to replicate the colours, well worth the effort infact.

Matching from original pantone by eye{the only true way}
Great when my other half isnt around. Only 12 sizes, what chinese laundry??
Original artwork produced in watercolour of a deep purple nature. Very beautiful and fluid. Property of the "sunday chairs". Given to me for readying for screen print design.
The first black print produced.
The light grey/silver print.
"black"
Warhol in style.
"burgundy"
Every colour produced.
A great colourfull process and job, clients were so happy they offered more ongoing work to me.
Always a good sign. All inks used are eco friendly and waterbased to provide a soft finish and asthetic to the 100% cotton garments.
A fine screen mesh was used to illuminate and identify the high detail as the original brief stated and also to adhere to the original artwork produced in watercolour.
Looking forward to working with you again in the near future.

Screen Printing workshop using various fabrics

                                                              Using a pink felt.
About five strokes with the ink seemed the best way to give a strong design presence

 
                     Printing circle combo and the delicate {hand cut } tree design of my student.
                      Using white, red and black inks on a bright green canvass of heavy quality.

Bronzen Temple presents "ABOXAPART" - Our latest design...

Created in February 2012 ,after our holiday's ,spent mostly in the waters of Clovelly in Sydney.
Inspired by my friend "bluey" a large Blue Groper.
The small ice cap at the top of the design was implemented to give footing to mankind. I didn't really want to use a raft or boat in this design for the same purpose.{cause they leek and drift too fast.}




"Whales" Grass T shirt printed with white and deep purple inks.






"Whales" Olive T shirt printed with white and deep purple inks.






"Whales" Stripe T shirt printed with white and deep purple inks.


Anyway enjoy............

Etching plates freshly etched in acid by Bronzen Temple


Entitled "Cells"
The copper plate has been hand drawn with a etching needle by the artist,then left in a ferric chloride acid bath for different increments of time to achieve the textures and tones present.

Entitled "Maple Leaves"
As with the previous image the same process was performed.
The reason for both the images having a dark and charred colour is because the substance used to resist the acid from biting the surface which will not be printed{hard ground}is left on the copper for the photos.
This hard ground is eventually wiped off leaving only the bitten troughs in the copper for which the ink sits inside prior to printing on our garments.
Bronzen Temple pioneers a new direction in printing on fabrics.
The copper plate can achieve a much finer and detailed image not possible with screen printing,especially the underlying plate tones and textures which is intrinsic of using etching plates to print from.
