Bitten





Going for round 2 to make up for the lack of updates lately.  I wanted to make a shirt design in my silkscreen class since the first day.  Going through many ideas, I was stuck on 50's pinups as a theme.  So I drew ladies (mostly naked, a few clothed) for like two months.  I tried to remember to make art with a purpose rather than just ending up with something someone has seen before on playboy or something.  I am mostly happy about the heart being in the right place, I think that's the coolest part of the shirt.  I made 10 shirts if anyone is interested in buying one, let me know!  I like the purple color the most because of the high contrast, I made it in a few different colors as well.  I enjoy wearing a shirt I designed, you could too!

It's about time!

Postponing art has postponed my life.  I have to push the reset button and get back on track to making more artwork.  Moving on, ...I made this print in my silkscreen class awhile ago.  It was more experimental this time in as I didn't want to have too much control of the final outcome of the print.  I took the original picture in a bookstore in New York a couple of months ago.  Still getting the amateur prints out of my system, hopefully I can continue with the screen printing process and become better over time.  Yayyy!
