screen printing on the cheap

We are part of a 5 artist collective called Screen Printing on the Cheap (SPOTC). We recently self published a book cleverly titled "Screen Printing: On the Cheap." Squawk created all the video content for the project, check-out some samples here. 

About SPOTC
As educated artists, we have been conditioned to rely on making art in facilities we simply cannot afford. Screen Printing on the Cheap demonstrates a “new school” of screen printing and makes the process more accessible to the community. In turn, screen printing makes their creative work more accessible to the masses.

This do-it-yourself book project instructs how to screen print out of your living space and design a semiprofessional shop with a modest budget. By utilizing cumulative knowledge from industry professionals, artists and entrepreneurs throughout Minneapolis, we have created the most comprehensive how-to book about screen printing at home.

mark mallman - dirty dishes

“It's a video about how things aren't what they appear. It’s a metaphor for our mistakes of the past,” says Mark Mallman of the video for“Dirty Dishes” which has debuted this week courtesy of Under The Radar. The track is the latest single from Mallman’s newly released album Double Silhouette, which the man whose fans call him “Mr. Serious” describes as “A noir battlefield of car crashes and lightning strikes. It’s about being too sad for words.”
