Testing it out...


I've been taking this screen printing class and trying to experiment with how my drawing style can translate into prints... this is one of those of those experiments and I was really happy with how the duo-tone tree turned out. I'm still working on it... here's some close ups:

(the background is one solid color, but the light makes it look funky)








oh and Happy Thanksgiving!

More Stuff I've done

I'm taking a screen printing class for fun... and because I can't not be a student. I write a lot of thank you cards. These are some cards I made...








Here's a logo design I submitted for a competition. It didn't win, but I'm still pretty happy with it.

And We're Back!


I was recently in a show with 3 other friends and former classmates at The University of the Arts. The theme was "Home Sweet Home" and can be seen at Off the Wall Gallery and Dirty Franks, located at 13th and Pine, Phila PA. For this show I worked on a series of portraits, drawn with rapidographs each with a hand-made paper frame, also drawn with rapidographs. I tried to create a storyline between the portraits that were made up of both real and imaginary people. I screen-printed a woodgrain pattern to mimick that of wood panelling and then arranged all the portraits in an enviroment that was meant to resemble a wall of portraits in someone's home.

The show will be up through December 4th, go check it out!
