Serigraphy, the art of Two Arms



Well it's been a while, but I figured I would document a little of this lovely form of art that I have always loved to look at, and wondered how it was made.

The form of art is called Serigraphy and it's basically a type of print making that uses wooden forms canvased in silk and layers of ink and.... lots of patience.  I have an example of the process here from the National Gallery of Canada.

Here are some examples of Serigraphy from a master of the art, the graphic design duo: Two Arms Inc.:

While we are on the subject of TWO...I would also love to show you a little branding excellence by HyperBrand for the firm TWO, aka The Wild Office, a custom innovation office in Mexico. (Please don't ask what custom innovation is...no idea, but gosh, look at their office, it's so fun.)





















 I always wondered where the Wild things are, and apparently they're in Mexico.
