FOCUS ON: ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Posted by John Reynolds on
I have produced a range of Alice In Wonderland screenprints, from the brilliant original drawings by John Tenniel.
I have printed three:
Alice defending her self from a pack of cards, in blue.
The White Rabbit looking at his watch, in yellow.
The Mad Hatter, singing a song, in red.
THE MAGIC OF BEFORE-AND-AFTER

How a handpulled screenprint is made - layering the ink one by one, with an example from the Comic Art Website stable, the Scottish icon Oor Wullie, showing the red layer and then the black on top of it.
Focus on Oor Wullie - Scotland's favourite son

Oor Wullie is a great subject to screenprint. The original draughtsman, Dudley D Watkins, was also the first to draw Desperate Dan in the Dandy and Lord Snooty in The Beano. Panels have great composition, so it's relatively easy to pick some to stand alone as screenprints.
