Some Treats

Trick or Treat a fun little sketch for Halloween, wish I had time to render this. Adding to the to do list.

I bought gold ink for silkscreen and was very excited to try it out. This being a test print turned out more yellow than expect. I'll keep testing it. 

Terrarium Birds

Just Love Terrarium why not add beautiful birds in them as well! This also part to a kitchen product collection I created as well which can be see here 

Lost Little Fox

A quick little watercolor of a little fox lost in the spooky forest. When I get the chance I would love to bring this little guy into photoshop =) 

Silkscreen Printing

Learning a new media is always fun. I've challenged myself to learn the ways of silkscreen. It's a multi- process media with many separations, double checking and of course manual labor. But the process is fun from concept to final. Here's my process of my 1st silkscreen print.

Master copy -in silkscreen this image is your guide making sure everything on your print line's up. 

Master copy in hand and screen separations ready to be printed. Excuse the messy work space. =)

About half way here. 

My final print 

I started off with 20 and some got lost, ruined and mistakes happen easily. So my final count was about 11 good ones. Silkscreen is a very time consuming media but the outcome is amazing and as the artist I feel connected to each piece. 

Thank you for reading, enjoy your sunday everyone !

Church Poster

Just got ask to do this today. It was actually pretty fun and I like the final look. Great look for a church poster it would sure get my attention. And client loved it which is always a plus. Also a great way to re-use little vector files I created for such a short notice project.
