Artist's Comments

silkscreen print of kitchen, livingroom, and bathroom, based on images of Jeffery Dahmers apartment. Pretty large print that needed to be scanned in four parts.

Wow! This is a bit different than I'm used to seeing from you! Lovely print-work, I like the slightly offset feel you get in a number of places.

As for scanning -- toy around with the adjustment layers in Photoshop, namely levels to match up colors when scanning in things in multiple parts. I generally even the different layers doing this, and then adding a layer mask under "reveal all" and have at it with a fairly large feathery brush where nessescary to blend it all together. Takes a little fooling with and getting used to, but it'll get a good seamless effect.

And a lot cheaper than a bigger scanner, no matter how appealing that notion is.

hey Dani,

thanks for the comment and i know that i could have put the different sections together alot better but i balame pure lazyness on my part. I really just wanted to play with new powerbook and tablet, lol. The cost of large format scanners has actually dropped quite a bit in recent months, you can get a pretty decent A3 one for under $200 [which is still alot but considering the rest are $1000+]

OMG this was a silkscreen??? Damn how many colors did you use? This is amazing. The vividness, the composition, everything . . rather eerie it's from Dahmer's apartment.

it was a total of 12 seperations to get all the colours. I'm sure i could have done it with less colours but i just felt like trying to do something that had alot of different sections to it. All 12 colours show up in each of the three rooms but each room has its own kinda colour signature. Kitchen is yellow, sitting room red and the bathroom green. The piece is roughly about 11x14.

perfect use of color...are you kidding about the Dahmer's part?

its pretty creepy, he did indeed have a certain macabre taste even in the disposition of the appartment
