Death NYC : Death NYC is a street artist comes from New-York. Death NYC can be see as the double of Banksy, because like him, she wnats to hide her identity. That allows to Death NYC to continue to create in the street, with more freedom. Also it is confusing, the psuedonym DEATH really means "Don't Easily Abandon The Hope". At the begining, Death NYC painted in the Soho or Chealsea districts. Later, Death NYC decides to caricature popular and politic figures, as in her famous piece of art, that shows Mao Zedong with pink lips and a tie in his hair.
Screen print : Screen printing, also known as silkscreen, serigraphy, and serigraph printing - from latin "Sericum (silk) and greek "grapheion" (writing) - is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil to receive a desired image. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image into a substrate. It is possible to use different meshes, for different colors, and create multi-colored works. In the field of art, it is important to know how many prints have been made. The total number of prints is usually written on the print (e.g 20/200).
