Screen printing at Ink Lounge

The wife and I took Nicki and Stuart Alden's screen printing class at their studio, Ink Lounge, in Denver this weekend. We had an amazing time. We would highly recommend the class to anyone.
Having been in the offset printing industry for so long, it was awesome learning other techniques. Plus, it was great getting our hands dirty.
It's tough trying to design a 8"x13" piece of art that you would want to look at all year long. So I went with my go-to...
...Abe Lincoln riding a buffalo.

Check out more images and the art from our classmates here.

Thanks Nicki and Stu!

Boulder is the "brainiest" city in the U.S. of A!

According to Portfolio.com, Boulder is the brainiest city in the United States. The basis for honor?
"Portfolio.com used U.S. Census Bureau data to analyze the levels of educational attainment in 200 metros, ranging in size from New York City to Burlington, Vermont."
Gotta love seeing Boulder represent!
