Thanks for uploading this. I was reading the description in my art text and it barely made any sense whatsoever.

Thank you very much for posting this, it gives me a visual understanding of lithography. I never took it in art school as a course and I am reading up on my favorite artist, Alphonse Mucha, who worked this way.This is a great help to me!

There's only one problem with resorting to silkscreen as a sad alternative in printmaking. Silkscreen, almost by definition, is "unartistic". I've yet to see a good work of art produced by silkscreen. Yet in theory, I still like silkscreen because it is a mode of printmaking! Please don't mention Warhol, Rauschenberg, etc. Perhaps some day a real artist will emerge in silk screen. Not yet.

Stanley Donwood seems like a good silkscreen artist.

uh... I think you just proved my point...
