[secret band] poster progress

The whole word measures about 21" across but will be shrunk down to 15" or 16" as a silkscreen print.

Drawing varying line widths is the most satisfying part of the inking process. If I don't exercise patience when applying 3, 4, 5 layers of ink I inevitably smear wet ink spots with my wrist.

A portion of the drawing for a Primus silkscreened (edition of 200) show poster for the summer.

I rejected this first round because proportions were off (a painful exercise because this took a couple of [wasted] hours to draw). I especially didn't like how high the letters reached into what will eventually be the middle of the poster. It looks weirdly blocky because I always draw these with straight lines to get relative measurements correct before curving the, uh, curvy parts.
