HAN SOLO
2009
HAND TRANSFERED IMAGE ON TO GLOSS PAPER STOCK
A2 (ROUGHLY
TEST VERSION OF THE 'HAN DOUBLE' PRINT.
PROCESS:
PHOTOSHOP'D HAN SOLO IMAGE TO LOOK LIKE THE WARHOL 'ELVIS' ADDED GUN, BLASTER, ALTERED THE LEGS AND ARMS TO RIGHT POSITION.
PRINTED THIS OUT A4 SIZE.
PHOTOCOPIED IT OVER AND OVER TO A3, TO GET 'PHOTOCOPY' FADING LOOK.
USING THESE PHOTOCOPIES, I USED THINNERS TO TRANSFER THE IMAGE ON TO A 'CLEAN' PAPER SURFACE. THIS PROCESS GIVES YOU A LOOK THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CREATE ANY OTHER WAY. TRANSFERS LOSE DETAIL, SMUDGE & FADE IN A UNIQUE AND DESTRESSED MANNER. GIVING THE 'FEEL' OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TRANSFER WARHOL HAD IN HIS PRINTS.
ONCE THE 'RIGHT' HAN DOUBLE HAD BEEN CREATED USING THIS TECHNIQUE. (IT TOOK ABOUT x30 ATTEMPTS) I THEN SCANNED THE IMAGE BACK ON THE COMPUTER AND CREATED A HIGH RESOLUTION HALFTONE, WHICH WAS THEN TURNED INTO THE SILKSCREEN.
THIS IS ONE OF ONLY TWO (THE OTHER BEING THE ORIGINAL 'HAN DOUBLE') KEPT FROM THE PROCESS, A PROTOTYPE TO WHAT WAS BECOME THE HAN DOUBLE IMAGE.
