In my screenprinting class at DIY Printing, my teacher is letting us do things the easy way (to me). We’ll be making transparencies and then sort of burning the images onto our screens. Below is a transparency I made from a photograph I took in Ghana.

Here’s the original photo:

Aside from a little bit I didn’t edit out by his tail, I think it’s pretty awesome. My fill transparency also includes a section for a background color.

The plan is that I’ll have final results by the end of next week’s class!
