About Me


I am a simple man, with huge dreams. I love to draw and make my own paper. I want to share my talent with others. My goal is to draw everyday of my life and im not there yet but im trying.
Screenprinting has its origins in simple stencilling, most notably of the Japanese form (katazome), used on textiles, mostly for clothing. This was taken up in France. The modern screenprinting process originated from patents taken out by Samuel Simon in the early 1900s in England. This idea was then adopted in San Francisco, California, by John Pilsworth in 1914 who used screenprinting to form multicolor prints in much the same manner as screenprinting is done today.
Screenprinting took off during the First World War as an industrial process for printing flags and banners. The use of photographic stencils at this time made the process more versatile and encouraged widespread use.
Papermaking is the process of making paper, a material which is ubiquitous today for writing and packaging. Though the word "paper" derives from the Egyptian use of papyrus, true paper, made from pulped fibres, is traditionally ascribed to the Chinese court official Cai Lun, at around 100AD. However, excavated examples of paper from China have been dated to the 2nd century BC. Amate paper was also independently invented by the Mayas no later than the 5th century AD. Papermaking is considered by the British scholar Joseph Needham to be one of the Four Great Inventions of ancient China, alongside the compass, gunpowder, and printing.

Exhibit #1
In 1916, U.S. Department of Agriculture chief scientists Lyster H. Dewe, and Jason L. Merrill created paper made from hemp pulp, which they concluded was "favorable in comparison with those used with pulp wood."[2] Jack Herer, in the book "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" summarized the findings of Bulletion No. 404:[3]"In 1916, USDA Bulletin No. 404, reported that one acre of cannabis hemp, in annual rotation over a 20-year period, would produce as much pulp for paper as 4.1 acres of trees being cut down over the same 20-year period. This process would use only 1/4 to 1/7 as much polluting sulfur-based acid chemicals to break down the glue-like lignin that binds the fibers of the pulp, or even none at all using soda ash. The problem of dioxin contamination of rivers is avoided in the hemp paper making process, which does not need to use chlorine bleach (as the wood pulp paper making process requires) but instead safely substitutes hydrogen peroxide in the bleaching process. ... If the new (1916) hemp pulp paper process were legal today, it would soon replace about 70% of all wood pulp paper, including computer printout paper, corrugated boxes and paper bags."

I'd like to meet:

Someone who's down for screenprinting, drawing, painting, or just someone wanting to buy alot of shirts, from me. hahaha.

Fiber(s) or fibre. Is a class of materials that are continuous filaments or are in discrete elongated pieces, similar to lengths of thread. Fibers are of great importance in the biology of both plants and animals, for holding tissues together. Human uses for fibers are diverse. They can be spun into filaments, thread, string or rope. They can be used as a component of composite materials. They can also be matted into sheets to make products such as paper or felt. Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other materials.
