Silk Screen Puppies ft. Sam


When trying to think of what to photograph for the last part of my alternative processes assignment, I realized I had not yet used my puppy, Sam, for any of the past units. I set him up in front of a white sheet and despite his growing annoyance with my camera and I throughout the "photoshoot", I came up with a few good photos that I thought had the correct lighting and colouring to be turned into a silk screen. 


Just a couple of examples of how angry he was getting at me...





I decided I was going to create a silk screen with this photo, but didn't want it to only be his face once on the print, so I transferred it four times instead onto my screen. I came up with an Andy Warhol-esque print, which I am quite happy with. I'm not sure if Sam appreciates it as much as I do, but I think he finally forgives me for sticking a camera in his face for an hour that day...



 I first transferred it onto a piece of paper, then onto a section of canvas to get a different texture.
