Harmen Liemburg - Silk Screen Prints

A while ago I atttended a lecture given by a graphic designer from the Netherlands named Harmen Liemburg . His main focus of work lies in giant screen prints, which he produces for many different things including, invitations, adverts and stamps.
Having tried to do a four colour screen print myself, I was amazed att he amount of detail he managed to fit into his pictures and the accuracy of his production.
It was very interesting to produce some work myself using the media that Harmen works in, and then attend a lecture by him explaining how he got into it, why he enjoys it and actually how he produces the work. I love the fact that it is such a 'hands-on process' it allows room for human error, which can often produce happy mistakes. Also, because you are working so closely with the process and materials, with practice, you gain a greater insight into the process and are able to come up with more adventurous and creative ideas and ways of working which I really liked.

This is one of my favourite pieces of his:
