regular ink for the smoke and opaques for the skin. resembles one dick tracy i'm told. oh, and this was from paper stencil -- xacto'd newsprint. quite a chore.

from the asian art museum. i thought it was tebetian, but a girl at kinkos said it was hindi. maybe nepalese?
i was excited to use the computer to help with repeats. i made these screens from photos, to which the instructor suggested i instead use on hand-drawn images. ...fair enough...
quite a familiar scene it seems... done in reactive dye, then with a photo emulsed screen detailing.
another reactive dye, with bleach 'ahsplosions!
wowzers! heat transfer on a neon-yellow mesh polyester. the heat transfers only work on the synthetics
heat transfer. inspiration was aku mouths
a final heat transfer. it's a strange process -- you paint the dyes on a piece of paper, then heat-press the paper to the fabric. the dyes change color completely...typically to the brighter side

Oh color beautiful glorious color!
the first is ever so retro-newsprint. perhaps it's because i've been reading a little sin city lately, but are those some miller inspired yellow highlights and hatchin' that I spy? Yeesh sounds like a tedious process but I do say I like the result.
the textures and colors on the second are really beautiful. Rarely have I seen patterned text that is readable yet clearly part of a greater composition and I think you really addressed both points well.
Structure of 3 and 4 are very pleasing..the typography look reminds me a lot of the collage work you did a while back. Non-computer repeats reminds me of a punch card or dot matrix printer...
Brings me to number 5. My favorite. by. far. Layout, colors, watercolor-ish textures, and a warm palette that makes me feel like it's a pinup from a 70s issue of Sunset magazine. Hanging my head in shame for the hasty nonsense of my last post! wonnerful, jus wonnerful.
sounds like you're growing your technical craft knowledge along with your arteest's eye...whizzing along on a road to some impressive progress, m'friend
the private dick stencil needs to be t-shirted. 2,5, and 6 are also rawesome.
the "aku mouth" heat transfer pattern looks like menstrual pads.
