Quote from Littleartbook…

'Lord Nelson launched his HMS Victory on the 7th May 1765. Rourke Van Dal and LAB launch "Not on Your Nelly" on the 7th May 2008. This 4 colour deckled edge print will blow the competition out of the water. 243 years later Nelly is again ready to do battle!'

Release date: 7th May 2008

I would also just like to add a little comment about our screen printer Danny (he's the guy in the pictures). This print couldn't have been produced without him.

Danny has been working as a fine art screen printer for the best part of the past 30 years and we're constantly amazed at his work. He spent almost all of last weekend working on the films. A film is the separated negative that is used to make the individual colour screens.

Each film has to be laid on top of the proceeding film to check and correct the registration and overlap. In the case of a detailed 4 colour like this it took a huge number of hours adjusting each film by hand to ensure that the colours overlap exactly as Rourke intended. You can see Danny in the first picture with a fine marker correcting the negative.

The Somerset velvet paper has a tight deckled edge all round and really sets the print off nicely. Lining up each colour perfectly is as much an art form as any.

Thanks Danny!!!!!
