Chris, also known as Raid71, is actually incredible! He's a screen printing wizard!!
This has to be my favourite illustrator that I spoke to today. His work is unbelievable. Aggie and I first spotted his work, not realising they were screen prints. They were printed at a really large scale too, making them more impressive. The level of detail within these prints is just amazing and the amount of colour involved and the understanding of colour is great! What made it even more impressive is yet to come. After speaking with him about his work, he learnt that the secret is to prints was that he printed on coloured paper even if most of the coloured area is black! And similar to how a CMYK would be printed, the black is printed last. This ensures that the colours remain bright and pop out against each other. In person, these prints are crazy good, and the colours really stand out and the black is very very black! So to turn them over and see that it's printed on to bright yellow paper is so cool! I wouldn't have thought of that! This guys work stood out to me by a mile!
