Each screenprint series I do I make sure I try to encorporate a new technique so at least I can learn something from it. One thing that screenprinting offers artists is a nice set of hard restrictions to work with. First of all you are restricted by the costs of printing per color. The below picture are the blended colors for the second pull. More pictures after the jump.

I spent a lot of time researching Taco trucks & Ramen stands by taking photos. Then I came up with many sketches on how to make an interesting combination of both.
After coming up with iconic visuals of both these stands that I was happy with I then would digitally clean up and do color separations for the piece.
After adding crop and registration marks on all the negatives I had it printed on special paper. More photos of my process after the jump.
