Marty Balin's Paintings & Screenprinting
Marty Balin screenprinting at Thunderbird Editions, Ltd. in Clearwater, Florida on the Iris print shown below.
Marty Balin's painting of Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page looked great printed on canvas on the Iris printer, but Marty wanted the fluorescent red added. Since we had screen printing at Thunderbird Editions we decided to turn his print into a multimedia work by adding a layer of screenprinted ink on top of the Iris print.
We laid a clear piece of mylar of on the Iris prints of his painting and Marty painted where he wanted the bright red ink to go. The clear film was used to expose the screen used in the serigraph. Marty actually "pulled" the squeegee to make the collaboration truly authentic. We did the entire edition and only had to discard a few for poor registration.
