I love how people will always bring up all the mindless steps in the process of a silkscreen. Maybe there is a little work involved but there is work involved in the shoveling of dirt I did yesterday. But that's nothing to frame in a gallery, the dirt that is. The time part of silk screening is free and effortless. Back to Shag than. I have a $100 print and it's cool for what it is. (Actually the frame is more artistic than the print itself. Cost three times more too.) But I will probably never get another one. Too many TC artist making good stuff to what is cheap as far as art prices go. And the artist here on Tiki Central are the top artist in their field.
