Screen printing process — ink being pulled across a screen with a squeegee in a warm studio setting

Hand-pulled

Every. Single. One.

The Craft

Pulled by hand.
Not a machine.

Every Scales tee starts as a drawing. Then a film positive. Then a hand-burned screen. Then a keeper pulls a squeegee across it one slow pass at a time. The ink smell is real. The pride is realer.

Draw

Keeper-artist sketches the species from life reference

Burn

Artwork exposed onto a photosensitive mesh screen

Pull

Water-based ink hand-squeegeed at 45° — one pass

Cure

Flash-dried at 320°F for a wash-permanent bond

"I printed my first run on a folding table in my reptile room. My ball python watched the whole thing from her tub. She approved."
