Grave Digger: Old School Art

This is a good one to start October with. A long time ago I used to design T-shirts. 

I used seven different screens to create this design. I had to draw each color screen, in gray pencil, as a negative, on a separate vellum overlay, then shoot 14 x 17 halftone photos of each, on a camera the size of a refrigerator. These giant transparent films were then chemically developed by hand in a darkroom, before being used to expose the emulsion on the actual polyester "silk" screens.

 It was a labor intensive, technically demanding skill, now made obsolete by computers.
