Screen prints

Happy Spring!

Many things here and there with family and the flu have tied up my time again, so quite a few things I've been saving up to share with the world at large. First, some screen prints I did a few months back. I did a workshop taught by some talented friends here in Minneapolis, and am pleased to add the art medium of screen-printing to my repertoire.

I learned after I did the "Trill" print that "trill" is slang for being true and real to oneself. Here's the urban dictionary link.


And here's the final result printed on a tie-dye t-shirt:

2013

I took an un-planned hiatus from arts-ing for about 3 weeks. Tons of time with friends and family for the holidays (fun!), and then a bout with a stomach flu (not at all fun).

First painting for the New Year: a mermaid holding a harpoon :) I'm more determined to limit my palate in an effort to learn better color control.

For the mermaid image above, I was experimenting with brushes, different layer modes, gradients, and textures. Good fun!
