screenprinting is awesome. i love the thought + brain power that the printing process demands... the slow cathartic multi-step journey of building each layer, and the satisfaction of seeing your vision build and come to life. there are several great artists who are genius when it comes to the screen, but my favorite local lady is hilary williams. she rules.
keith and i discovered her a few years back at the fillmore street fair and now have two of her lovely prints hanging at home.
hilary mixes together collages of her photos, drawing & stencils to produce dreamy, surreal prints with local flavor. something about each print puts a smile on your face and makes you want to hop in to the scene.
each print is beautiful. the pops of color immediately draw you closer, but as you stare you become more and more impressed at the layer, upon layer, upon layer of time, love & energy printed onto each piece of paper. it's incredible. and commendable. plus++ she's super sweet and exudes this pretty incredible hip-creative essence.
if you're in town (san francisco, that is) this weekend, she'll be at renegade. so go... check her out... maybe, just maybe, you'll find something to make your walls happy (and hilary happy, too!)
