Screen printing

I've converted an old storage room on the back of the house into a screen printing studio. :-D
Here are a few things that I've made:



The unicorn wasn't actually my design. In fact, it was already burned onto a screen that I inherited from a friend. But I just love the way it comes out on fabric!
The bird came from an idea I had with another friend. We wanted to make shirts that thought they were way smarter than everyone else. We wanted to put ridiculous, pseudo-intellectual statements on them. "You just couldn't possibly understand" is the only one that has made it to print so far. A bird wearing high heels has nothing to do with that statement. There's literally nothing to understand.

This giant postage stamp is my latest project. It's a blow up of a real stamp from the Olden Days. The engraved design translated beautifully onto the silk screen. There are a few famous misprinted stamps that I'd like to recreate (i.e.- the words and numbers are correct, but the image is up-side-down)
