Old image, new life...

Last week, with the help of two good friends, I was able to finally do a screenprint run of an image I made as a two-part stencil years ago. The old prints were part of Josh MacPhee's traveling "Stencil Pirates" exhibit, which happened maybe a year or so before the book was published. The stencil has seen a lot of paint since then, and it's on it's last legs. This summer I sprayed large transparencies directly from the stencil so I would always have something to burn screens from. The screened version still looks a lot like a stencil with it's inconsistent lines and overspray. The original idea came when my stolen bike was returned to me after I put posters all over my Nashville neighborhood asking for it back - the stencil said "search..." at the top left, but that part didn't make it on to this print.

UPDATE: These just posted to the Justseeds store for those interested in picking one up...
