Veruca Salt - Original Screen Print

This is the piece that started Hotdish Girl. This is also one of the first screen prints I made at 18x24, and it uses paint. This piece is so special to me. In this piece she's just a baker woman (not yet Hotdish Girl), and she's got a crowbar and file. In old school movies when the husband would get arrested and taken to jail, his wife would hide a crowbar and file in the pie so he could escape. The background is a riff on the Betty Crocker cookbook. 

Note: colors on-screen may vary slightly on actual print

WHAT IS AN ORIGINAL SCREEN PRINT?
Our screen prints are all printed by Adam in-house at our studio. Screen printing is a process where ink is forced through a mesh screen onto archival paper. Making certain areas of the screen impervious to printing ink thus creating a stencil, which blocks the printing ink from passing through the screen. The ink that passes through forms the printed image. Each screen print is made up of multiple layers/screens of ink that may print on top of one another to form multiple colors (i.e. printing yellow over blue will create a green color). 

Each screen print is slightly unique because of the hand-quality of screen printing process. All screen prints are hand-signed and dated by Adam.
