screen printing therapy

It hasn't been such a happy time recently. Practical hands on work usually helps me get my mind off things so screen printing was much needed. Sometimes it's best to not think and just do. And fun things can come out of it! 

I will hopefully use some of these for illustrations my friend Filip's short stories (some of them are about sea monsters and plants, how perfect!), I can't wait to see it all come together. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these little experiments. I was told I needed to widen my colour palette so I've been trying to push myself- green, blue and yellow always seem to find their way in there somewhere though..

So I've been moving forward with Photoshop a little bit and I'm finally getting more comfortable with it. About time! Here are some examples of playing around with multiplying the same ink drawing countless times. 

Next time I'll remember to add the background before flattening the image.

 

ALSO. Today I've digitally printed my first ever actual wallpaper, I'm so excited about it! I'm afraid you'll have to wait until next time to see it..
Finally trying to come up with a brand name, too. Stay tuned!
