Claw Machine - Shirt/Print
Added 2024-04-22 21:39:45 +0000 UTCHappy Monday, teddy bears!
I've wanted to try screen printing again for a long time, and have recently mustered up the bravery to do so. I spent much of this weekend designing the art for what I would like to see as a shirt and/or a screenprinted print. You can see me here with the actual silkscreen. This is a VERY messy silk screen by professional standards, but I'm sorta new-ish to all this and I'm not gonna apologize for that, haha. You can see where I had to go in with a paintbrush and additional emulsion fluid to patch some areas up.
I'm gonna try printing with this screen a few times to see if the results are up to my standards to put the design on a shirt. I might end up doing a new pass at burning the image to the screen so I can get potentially cleaner results on a second try, but for now this is a great place to start. It's the cleanest screen I've made thus far in all of my attempts and I'm feeling good about that!
I'll have pictures of the prints/shirts/whatever as soon as they're printed, and of course they'll be going on my shop as well. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Unrelated: my shirt is WRINKLY, but this is a cozy shirt perfect for a Monday where I had to handle emulsion fluid and therefor not something I'm too fussed about messing up. Forgive me.
This piece was sketched in Procreate and inked in Adobe Illustrator 2023.
Hope you like it so far!
