screenprinting

Squeegeeville is a website dedicated to the art and technology of screenprinting. Our citizens come from every corner of the world wide web, and they have one thing in common. They are brothers and sisters of the squeegee, practitioners or students of the world's oldest and most versatile print medium - screenprinting.

Since its creation in 2000, the site has gone through a number of changes as our focus has evolved. This is the newest incarnation and we hope you enjoy it. We now concentrate on 6 key areas:

FREE INSTRUCTION AND INFORMATION FOR NOVICE AND ADVANCED SCREENPRINTERS, including links and PDFs of articles published in a range of trade magazines around the world.

TRAINING AND WORKSHOPS AT OUR FACILITIES OR YOURS These include intro courses and more advanced training to get you printing right the first time.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES including the book 'Screenprinting Today - the Basics', prototyping and product development, custom screenprinting, and fine art printmaking.

AN ON-LINE ART GALLERY featuring Limited Edition serigraphs by Canadian and international artists, gigposters, and other interesting prints.

LINKS AND RESOURCES will help you quickly find other websites that contain good information about screenprinting, artists, associations and more.

THE NEWS SECTION gives visitors an opportunity to ask questions, find answers, and read about the latest goings-on in Squeegeeland.

Intellectual Property (IP) online

This guide deals with Intellectual Property (IP) online, particularly copyright.

The rise of the global information infrastructure and recognition that the 'property of the mind' is a major driver of national economies and culture has led many to question the nature and viability of copyright and other forms of intellectual property such as trademarks.

Being online means grasping the challenges of intellectual property: protecting what may be one of your major assets and respecting the rights of others, whether they are IP owners or IP users. The web is not a copyright-free zone. While abuses abound it is in your interest to act on a considered basis, whether you are a rights owner, a rights user or an intermediary such as an ISP.

Papunya Painting

28 Nov 2007 – 3 Feb 2008
Temporary Exhibition Gallery. Free.

Papunya Painting: Out of the Desert showcases the National Museum of Australia's extraordinary collection of Western Desert art.


An important exhibition "Papunya Painting: Out of the Desert" has just opened at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra. The Museum holds an outstanding collection of Papunya Tula art including many large canvases. Most of these paintings have never been seen in Australia in the three decades since they were painted.

They were mainly collected by the Aboriginal Arts Board (AAB) of the Australia Council, which was created in 1973. Amongst other things it provided grants for Aboriginal communities to employ managers and to help sustain Aboriginal culture and arts. Some of the Papunya paintings bought by the Board were lent or given to Australian embassies around the world while others were donated to public museums and galleries. These helped to raise the profile of Aboriginal art in the commercial art market.

In the 1980s the AAB wound up its exhibition program and in 1990 the collection of Papunya paintings was transferred to the Museum. These form the substance of this outstanding exhibition.

The exhibition is organized by the sequence of coordinators with Papunya Tula Artists starting with Geoffrey Bardon and going as far as Andrew Crocker at the beginning of the 1980s.

Follow the links below to learn more about the Papunya collection, the artists, exhibition catalogue and one of our many events and children's activities.

you thought we wouldn’t notice

Welcome to ‘you thought we wouldn’t notice’ a site dedicated to pointing out those thing’s that give you that feeling of ‘haven’t l seen that somewhere before?”

This is a open blog so anyone can post anything, therefore we don’t have control over what is put up.We can only delete it once it’s there.
If anyone has any issues with any of the posts please email us on ytwwn [at] youthoughtwewouldntnotice.com

Anyone posting PLEASE check your sources.
These are some of the reasons you shouldn’t post here:

  • It could be a commissioned work.
  • It could be a tribute.
  • Or it could be credited.
  • It could be the same idea by different people

Please check that it not the case before posting.

There is often reasons why you may have ’seen it before’ please check that your post that it doesn’t come under the following:

  • Parodies: intentional copies mocking the original
  • Same Influences/Inspirations: If someone was inspired by “a plane hitting a building” to create there art you can’t stop anyone else from having the same inspiration.
  • References: As above & If someone makes an illustration of a photo it is still there work (look at andy warhol)
    Style: You can’t really own a style. These ones may be judge case by case. post and let the readers decide.
  • Artist Vs Artist stuff is just so bitchy, I would much rather see artist vs company issues posted here

Some post may be left due to the comments that are more interesting then the post, but we try to delete anything before it gets that far.

If you need help in posting please see the ‘how to’ guide here.
