Serigraphic Art Prints
Serigraphs are created by hand printing layer after layer of ink, one color printed at a time until the printed piece is finished. The finished print has brilliant colors and requires a very high degree of work by the artist compared to computer created prints done with transfers or inkjet to t-shirt printers.
Hand Serigraphic Prints are Unique and No Two are Exactly the Same
This shirt was created using 21 prints and 7 drying steps
9 Layers of transparent green were used on the eyes
Print size is 12 inches wide by 13 inches tall
It is time consuming to create an image like this
It is extremely satisfying to create something that is beautiful
I Hand Print A Large 12 x 13 Image
There usually are usually 3 different print strokes before drying the layer
I flash dry the image as I slowly build up the ink to achieve maximum brightness
with the least amount of ink that yields the crispest image
The print completely fills up a youth 6-8 shirt

AN BONUS TO THIS STYLE IS THAT IT CREATES A PRINT THAT WILL LAST LONGER THAN THE SHIRT
I offer more than just 4 colors for about the price of two elsewhere
Take for Example This Four Color Tractor I Printed
3 firm print strokes to underbase gray wheel color plate- then dried
3 firm print strokes to rust color plate
then dried
3 firm print strokes to green plate- then dried
3 firm print strokes to yellow plate- then dried
3 more print strokes to yellow plate
to make it pop - then dried
3 more print strokes to green plate
The shirt is then pulled from the press
Then run thru a 16 ft conveyor dryer for final cure
Doing a 4 color job with the multiple printing and drying will use up an entire day in my studio
when printing 75 garments
Yet pricing for 75 is only $8.99 each and each shirt is a work of art
Lower Quantities Run A Little More
$10.39 for T-shirts, $13.39 for Long Sleeve, $14.89 for sweatshirts and $17.89 for hoodies
