Here’s the next one. I have a long title for this piece. I like long titles, I read that David Hockney used to name his work in really long sentences so they will take up more lines on the back pages of catalogues and be more noticeable.
Next week, I am going to post images of how I plan my colours and separations. I only use at most three screens for a print, but most of the time, on the final work, you see more than 8-9 colours. I don’t remember and count how many layers I go. I overlapped, masked, and do a lot of things to the screens as I move along. The drafts give me rough ideas about placement and helps me to plan colours in such a way they cover the print evenly.

I have been checking out my blog stats and consistently (almost everyday) I’m getting visitors searching about making photopolymer stamps.
If you do need help in getting the materials required to make this kind of artwork, you may want to get them from me.
I can source them very cheap here in Singapore and ship them to wherever you are. I’ll even throw in a free DIY guide book complete with plans for building a home-made exposure system and simple tricks to make a pretty decent stamp.
This will all take place in my Unfinished Adventures Super Shop.
All these will greatly fund my art projects, thank you!

I’m trying to get an ultrasonic cleaner. It’s not too expensive, I saw quite a few at Mustafa. People use this device to clean fine, detailed items such as jewellery and dentures. Professional rubber stamp makers also use this device for developing their stamps. With this, I’ll not have to worry about using too much force and damaging the stamps while cleaning away the unexposed photopolymer resin. So much quicker and cleaner!
How Does Ultrasonic Work?
Sound of a frequency higher than what human beings can hear is called ultrasonic. An ultra sonic machine works on the concept that when ultrasonic sound is passed through water, a physical phenomenon called cavitation takes place where millions of microscopic vacuum filled bubbles are formed. These bubbles then burst with a very high rate of pressure and temperature, creating powerful jets that can effectively clean all kinds of jewelry inside out.
Got the above information from here:

Hey,
I’m selling some stuff on Ebay, very rare music posters. They are all silkscreened. I probably have the largest collection of such posters in Singapore. No kidding. This David Bowie poster was at one time a mind-blowing US$400. These are works of Jermaine Rogers.
But they are going off. I have a better understanding of prints now than when I bought them. They are still very nice drawings, but I prefer other strange kind of works now.
Nevertheless, Music + Art = Lethal Contoction.
You can check out my Super Shop and enjoy!
