Fabric Sample

This is one of my scarf samples.

I used a technique called devore which is where you use a fabric with two types of fibres (synthetic and natural) and screen print a chemical paste which burns away the synthetic fibres. The fabric can then be dyed two different colours known as double dying. I chose a purple background (acid dye) and a grey foreground (procion dye). On top of that I did a foil print using the same image of a tarantula.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Well I've just finished my module for uni which involved scarf and wallpaper designs. From hearing good feedback from my final scarf, I'm now planning to create a collection of ten scarves maybe more. Already had a request for a scarf :)

Here are a few images from my project, more to come soon.

Here's a quick screenprint I did to get an idea of what my colour palette will look like when printed.

Halloween Sprite

As Halloween is close, my friend suggested I make something in that theme. I chose Zubat from Pokemon :)

The wings are glow in the dark too ;)
Hope you guys like it!

Moblin Strikes, Gizmo & Me

Now I've settled into my new accommodation for university, I thought id share with you my latest sprites :)

Here are two from the zelda series, I wanted it so they would be interacting with each other.

Moblin & Link 2009

This sprite is a black & white Gizmo from the Gremlins game off the Gameboy.

Gizmo 2009

This sprite was originally from Pokemon, but I re-coloured it so it would look like me, not too keen on it as it makes my hair look grey :(
