Later today, N.C. Winters will release the first wave of 2 colorways of his new fine art print, Bad Omen! As Winters explained, “I’m blown away with how this print turned out, as it’s a perfect encapsulation of my preferred medium: stream of consciousness. The goal for this print was to really push the boundaries of what I am capable of creatively and through the screenprint medium. Transparent colors are built up in transparent tones, much like watercolor, to try and get a wide range of color and tonal value with as few plates as possible. The final product was then pushed a little further with a spot gloss varnish on the shiny and “wet” areas of the piece – metals, eyes, etc.”
“Bad Omen” by N.C. Winters will be released in two waves. There are a total of four colorways, with only the first two editions available today as part of Wave 1. It is an 18”x24” signed and numbered 7 color screen print including a spot clear varnish on Neenah cotton rag paper with hand torn deckled edges. The main Classic Edition is limited to 200 pieces and will retail for $100, while the Midnight Variant is limited to 100 pieces and will retail for $125.
There will also be an option for hand embellished variants of each edition for $400 each. These will be limited to just 10 pieces of each edition and will be uniquely hand embellished with ink wash, acrylics, interference inks, clear varnish, gold leaf, etc. All four options will go on sale at 10:34am PT today, Tuesday, November 24th, at NCWinters.bigcartel.com.
