Warhol had a streamlined process in producing silk screen prints. First, he laid a photograph on to the mesh of a silk screen. Afterwards, he passed an ink-covered squeegee over the mesh.
The ink would pass through the mesh and impress a print of the image onto the canvas underneath. I forgot to add, there is a hidden message within the image. It's a reference to the frequency of 432 rather than the 440 frequency that we all tune to, life's better at 432 apparently, there's a lot of info on the www about the subject, Andy was ahead of his time.
