keeping on with the explorations.brought out a screen flashed with my beloved print gocco.
guys, i shleped it around akiba on my first trip to japan.my tokyo frined took me there but didn't want to have anything to do with the situation, the purchase and the whatevers. being japanese she abstained from something she wasn't familiar with. i vaguely remember akiba then other than it was extremely noisy, all the stores with blaring loudspeakers each one advertising a different thing with a different tune.flash forward and on my second trip i realized that i had visited the otaku paradise in the heydays in early 90's. nothing to do with the civilised over turisty place nowadays.
the problem with gocco is the consumables, the bulbs are not found anywhere,the inks are no big deal as you can swing it with other heavy body inks. i need to make friends with a tatooer, as they use a similar technology to make tat flashes.surface designers know them as thermo-fax.
or you can spend your cash buying a risograph printer which is a print gocco on steroids.full circle oi?
all those wonderful pre burst of the bubble gadgets that went out of production. brother knitting machines case point.
proof of concept: thickened bengara on taninn stamped heavy cotton
the print didn't come out crisp bcse of the thick weave cloth. to be tried on a tight woven cloth.
neki desu
