Moving onto my final piss take of Donald Trump.  After all the woodcutting my right hand was in bits!  So I moved onto a less intense method of printing, screen printing.  I hadn't done screen printing since 2nd year and it doesn't help that they're like a MILLION different steps in this process so it's safe to say I hadn't a clue what I was doing.  After many tears, screams and much needless frustration followed by more tears at the peril of my friends, I relearned how to screen print.  Go me! 


Anyway, I'd been working with black and white up to now so I wanted to bring colour back into my practice.  I like making work that's publically engaging so I started making T-shirts and selling them.  I used 5 colours, black, yellow, blue, green and brown.  Registration is also a massive pain in the ass, but I knew that going in.  This is the result of my effort as well as some preparatory work. 


Not bad for a guy who's so accident prone he could potentially burn a house down with a toothbrush.
(Wish I was joking).







Now here're the T-shirts.






Combined with the things Trump has said along with my own crude sense of humour, I thought this image to be an effective one.  I made 6 of these and sold all of them!  I didn't think they'd sell.  I didn't know there was a market for my sense of humour.  This was a happy discovery!  I want to make more T-shirts in the future but I think it's time I left the Donald alone for a while and pick on someone else.  Maybe he'll make a good president (fingers crossed!).
