Resource: New Papers and Printing Techniques

Spectrum Lithograph Printing

Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.

As technologies change, so do the materials and techniques involved with printing. Spectrum Lithograph offers a Lithofoil printing, where foils are printed with the 4-color process, adding depth to most artworks.

For durable products, Polyart papers are the practical choice. A unique clay coating keeps the paper from tearing, yet is smooth enough for writing.

New Leaf Paper has nice recycled paper stocks that any environmentally-conscious designer can appreciate. They seem to be the leaders for recycled stocks since they don’t bleach their materials and have experimented with non-wood papers.

Gothic Beauty

Gothic Beauty is a classic portrait inspired by Roman busts and vampire movies. The medium is mixed–graphite on paper and digital coloring. A tribal dragon is tattooed onto the shoulder. The teardrops represent a perpetual sadness and loneliness from a life as an undead. (This concept stems from a Zulu story of how a cheetah got her tears).

Doomsday is a handmade poster for the Stick Me Hard 2 International Street Art Exhibition at Musma Gallery in Brussels, Belgium. The topic is “The Worst Case”.

My rendering was created with pen and markers (about 9in. width x 17in. height) to be wheatpasted to the gallery wall. My vision was apocalyptic, where death and destruction reigns free. A nuclear explosion breaks from a skull, positioned above a burning city. The red pattern is a montage of abstract faces done in a Cubist-influenced style.

Mythos is a mixed media piece by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions. A digital print with gold accents has been donated to the Peterborough Young Carer Art Charity Exhibition, organized by Kaine Kulczak, aka Korp.

The Peterborough Young Carer Charity is a great project as it provides educational, emotional and financial support for “children and young people under the age of 18 whose lives are in some way restricted because of the need to take responsibility for the care of a person. This person may be ill, have a disability, be experiencing mental distress or affected by substance abuse or HIV/AIDS” [taken from their site]. Ultimately, Young Carers provides the means for a childhood–a most worthy cause.

This is Sherrie’s first art show participation!! There will be two exhibitions: Key Theatre and Coca-Cola Lounge in Peterborough. Will post the dates when more info is received.
