Yudu Creation

Here is one of my first creations using the Yudu. Before anyone asks, yes I am tattooed. I created the image in Adobe Photoshop 7.0 (old I know).



Apparently, Journeys sold a shirt similar to this. I don't know if it had the Jesus image on it or just the phrase. I never saw it, I rarely even go in that store. I have seen others, many others with the phrase, but never this design. When I created this I wanted to do a take on the whole Jesus is my Homeboy shirts. I like the way it turned out and apparently so do others since I have already sold one! Yay me!

The Yudu

I have always wanted to try screen printing but I have been a bit afraid to. I was scared I would just screw it up royally. So when Provocraft came out with this nifty new machine called the Yudu Screen Printer, I was curious. I researched and read reviews and so far everyone who had tried pretty much liked it so I dove in. Well, I kind of dove in, I asked for it for my birthday and my parents obliged.

I will have to admit that it has been a learning process, but it really is fairly easy and I have a feeling that I was overreacting about the whole screen printing process possbily being a disaster.

I have learned some great tips and tricks at Yudu Forums. They discuss anything and everything concerning the yudu. I found out that I could use other inks and emulsion that would save me money and I have even learned tricks to help perfect my technique. Stay tuned to see some of my yudu work!
