Silkscreen Print "Puddle of Tears"

Here is a new silkscreen print called "Puddle of Tears". I showed this print at the Mini-Bar show last month.

Silkscreen by Xhico

Inspired by looking out many dripping windows of cafes as i sketched in the rainy winter of San Francisco. The silkscreen is two colors on white paper - Limited Edition of 30 - Numbered and Signed. I also did a short run on gray paper and looks fantastic.

Special thanks to Bernadette for sponsoring this edition of prints. Much gratitude.

BUTTONS OF GOLD by Xhico

They're here. BUTTONS OF GOLD. All my friends love them so much, I'm making them for you too!

I take old buttons and recycle them to create new accessories. I was inspired by San Francisco architectural gold leaf. All buttons are first painted with a coat of Montana Gold. Then gold leafed by hand (it's not 24k gold or anything) then resin coated for crazy clear coat... makes the gold ultra sheen. Because of the nature of the process each button is completely different and may have slight imperfections. Sometime the resin gets tiny air bubbles and heavy on the underside. But you'll get play on them any how!
