na-na-na-na-NO VALUES

So below is the result of my first attempt at screen printing.  I ran into some problems with the lightbox- apparently the type of bulb I had hastily bought were designed to eliminate UV rays, which are crucial for exposing the screen.  So I went to the store and got some bulbs that specialize in creating UV rays, so that problem was solved.  Unfortunately, I had already tried to expose it, so I had to clean it off and try again, which I think didn’t help with the image’s clarity.  The second time around itwas exposed well, but I was in the dark when I was rinsing off the emulsifier, so I think I may have messed it up a little bit.  I also think I need to use more ink and/or push harder when I’m applying it.  Either way, it’s basically a t-shirt, and even though I probably would have had similar or better results with spray paint and a stencil, I think it’s a good first try.
For those out there that aren’t Black Flag aficionados, this is a Black Flag logo and No Values is a Black Flag song.
