Terry

silk screen print - solution to "man, woman, machine" brief

My first reasonably complicated silk screen. Like the unfortunate guinea pig whose reputed acts of brevity: throwing it's body over the grenade, stepping first into the mine field, or signing the bee gees permitted the birth of a mark2, a logically improved successor.  I learned a lot about the numerous pitfalls of the process with regard to layer separations in photoshop and their transferal onto a screen. Strong color relationships hold it together, just, as the tragic registration conversely threatens to eradicate all legibility. Anyway, its about a man called Terry, who lives in isolation from gender concepts till one day his television tells him what the crack is, (no pun intended) and how he must redefine that thing between his legs. The comic format typically deals with archetypal characters and their corresponding anima or animus, so felt a suitable setting.
