First off, I'll just start by saying that Burning Bones Press is awesome! I had the honor of meeting Carlos Hernandez, owner of Burning Bones and master silkscreen printer and artist. Carlos gave me a tour of the studio, where I learned that it is set up for all kinds of printmaking: silkscreen, relief, letterpress, intaglio, and lithography. Burning Bones offers memberships where artists can rent time at the studio to print. They also offer classes and do some contract printing. Carlos designs and prints his own work, and has printed hundreds of silkscreen gig posters. He has printed for artists such as Tom Petty, The Black Keys, and Kings of Leon, which you can see along with many other posters displayed in the front of the studio. It has an awesome rock and roll vibe (and I totally dug the purple floor in the front half of the studio).
While I was there, Carlos invited me to hangout for the day and I was even able to make a print which I was super excited about. But then, the day got even better when Carlos and the Burning Bones crew decided to have a cookout which I ended up staying for. I got to meet some of the members of the studio, and I felt extremely welcomed and a part of the Burning Bones studio during my short time there. I found it to be an extremely positive and a genuinely fun place to work and create art among a crew of exceptionally talented artists. Carlos was extremely generous as I came away with some Burning Bones gear, a new edition of prints, and a super rad silkscreen print from Carlos himself. It was an amazing introduction to Houston and Texas I wont soon forget!
