Andy Warhol's artistic talent covered many types of visual media. But he is probably best known for his screen printed artwork. His iconic, screen printed images of Campbell's Soup cans and movie stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Liz Taylor revolutionized modern art.

Screen Printer, Artist, World Changer. Which one are you? Maybe all three…
As a screen printer, there is a reasonably good chance that you may be an artist as well. Many people are attracted to the craft of screen printing because of its creative aspects. But did you ever stop and think that as a screen printer or graphic artist working in the screen printing business that you might also be a "world changer"? Yes–world changer.  More often than not, a customer will supply you with artwork that depicts the image exactly as they want it to be printed on the shirt.
That is, a white (or other colored) image on a black background. Keep in mind that we are talking about strictly a one color (or grayscale photo) print on a black shirt. To convert an image like this into a camera ready film positive is very easy. |
