Coudray Serigraphics Gallery - Actual Shirt Samples

All of the examples you see here are random production samples. Unlike most screen printers, we take our work extremely seriously. We never hand pick samples. We only use  random samples from an actual run for anything we display, ship, or enter in competitions. Our clients and customers have come to know and trust our reputation built on our absolute ability to deliver unequaled quality, on demand, with each and every garment we print.

Grateful Dead Stop Nuclear Power

Vintage 1978 Grateful Dead featuring rare Metallic Silver waterbase ink. Printed for San Luis Obispo based Pacific Alliance. This image is classic old school. The art was hand cut on rubylith and contacted to camera film.

AirportDay2007

This great shirt captures the airy open skies  as a  fully restored 1937 Lockeed Electra 12a flys over over the Central Coast vineyards.

Composite layered Photoshop image done in seven colors with sim process color separations. The image was printed on graphite gray 6.1 oz cotton t-shirts and sold as a commemorative shirt for the San Luis Obispo Airport Day.

Plein Air 2004

The Plein Air Festival is held every October in San Luis Obispo County. Fifty selected artists from throughout the U.S. spend a full week painting in the open air throughout the county. Proceeds from the sale of merchandise and paintings goes to support the programs of the San Luis Obispo Art Center.

Coudray Serigraphics is pleased to be a major sponsor of this Festival since the very beginning in 2002. This shirt is a reproduction of an original oil and was reproduced in 9 colors on a Moss Green Hanes Beefy T. Each artist recieved a t shirt, sweatshirt, and totebag embelished with the featured art chosen for that year.

BluesPorch

Outstanding piece by American Impressionist John Carroll Doyle. This image was printed for Chicago Blue and was one of a series of Doyle images. It uses some very advanced art preparation techniques chosen to enhance the vivid color and subtle transitions of  the neutrals and shadows. Printed on a Hanes Beefy T for maximum color value and finished with a special enhancement treatment to keep the image from fading due to the ring spun yarn.

Seghesio

Another wonderful example of complex art reproduction. This image taken from original art captures all of the luminance and character of the  sun breaking through the early morning fog to illuminate the old growth Zinfandel vine. This image is very similar to the Blues Porch in that there is a very wide range of light-to-dark tone, vivid color, and soft pastels. The extreme range within the image made it particularly challenging to reproduce.

Sierra Star Winery

Commercial piece for Seirra Star Vineyard and Winery. Watercolor reproduction with additional metallic gold star. The challenge with this piece was to keep the soft pastel washes of the watercolor true on the medium blue background without having the image feel stiff and rubbery. Out use of special selective underbases makes this all possible.
