Screenprinting (also called silkscreen printing) is a technique where ink is pushed through a fine mesh screen onto a surface, with a stencil blocking ink from areas that shouldn't be printed. Each color requires its own separate screen and pass, so multi-color designs involve layering the print color by color.
It's known for producing bold, opaque, vibrant colors with a slightly textured, tactile feel. Ink sits on top of the surface rather than absorbing into it the way offset litho does. This makes it popular for pop-culture and limited-edition art prints and posters, since the thick ink layers give strong visual impact
Since 2019, Historiart has collaborated with the Library Foundation of Los Angeles to create several projects that feature the Los Angeles Central Library. During the 100th anniversary in 2026, Historiart created a number of works that are displayed in the library and sold in the gift shop.
