Lifeguard Tower Silkscreen Prints Available

I decided to use my vector illustration of the Hermosa Beach lifeguard tower and complete a series of Lifeguard Tower silkscreen prints. There is something about silkscreening that makes me melt. The texture, the color, the paper; It all has something that gives me the feels. I decided to get back into silkscreening lately, so I decided to start out with a little more simplicity and minimalism. My lifeguard tower design was perfect, especially because of the Hermosa Beach inspiration that surrounds me. I decided to create a makeshift studio in the back of our house, grabbed the supplies to silkscreen, and started the process.

I got all the supplies from Artist & Craftsman Supply on 1660 La Cienega Blvd. They are one of the best art supply stores in Los Angeles and have a perfect location as it’s on my way home from work. I picked up the silkscreen, emulsion, clamps, light, and ink for a great price. I then got a piece of wood from Home Depot and drilled the clamps to the piece of wood. It has a smooth surface and easy to clean up if any ink gets on the table. Using the piece of wood for silkscreening is smart, because you can move it where you want it and store it away in case you need to make room in your studio or home.
