Although I was slightly familiar with the silkscreen process (mostly in terms of t-shirts) I was interested in the process in regards to just paint on a surface. I found this very poor quality video of somebody observing a festival-type affair where they were demonstrating screen printing on a smaller scale. As you can see, each screen has cut-outs of part of the picture according to where different colors would be designated. In Andy's pieces, there would be several different layers that he would continue to overlay on top of the same canvas.

The second video that I found actually is a Photoshop tutorial to achieve a Warhol-esque effect in photos. However, the first few minutes highlights a major background on Andy Warhol. The host discusses how his works were 'designed to copied' and he directly references the 'Marilyn' piece throughout his discussion of Warhol as an 'evil genius'.
