Spaceman Photos

So I was sat on the sofa making the Good Day Shopping image and the light on the wall suddenly changed into a sort of strange shimmering mist. I thought it looked pretty cool, so naturally I went to find a miniature spaceman. Maybe I was just really really bored.

A Good Day Shopping

Comical Apparel

I'm sure we've all either seen or been those assholes walking around in the American Apparel Helvetica alphabet t-shirts. Well, soon we'll hopefully be able to see/be those assholes walking around in the John Bingle Comic Sans alphabet t-shirts.

3 Metamorphoses

I want to make a piece of work based on Nietzsche's three metamorphoses. Read the original passage from Thus Spoke Zarathustra here.

Nothing But Navy Great Britain

A paper stencil I made whilst planning a new print for the Nothing But Navy shop.

Nothing But Navy/Pontone Colour Chart

Here is a photo of the silkscreen I used to make a 3-colour print for the Nothing But Navy shop. Photos of the print itself soon.

Nothing But Navy Badges

A blurry photo of some badges i've started to make for the Nothing But Navy shop.

Nothing But Navy Posters and Fliers

This weekend I screenprinted a whole load of Posters and Fliers for the Nothing But Navy shop, which is opening soon. In the end, I think I printed 150 posters and 320 fliers. I now have RSI.

Diamond Print Scan

I scanned the creased tracing paper against a black background and played around with it on Photoshop. This helped to make the lines more clear, so I could see how accurate my folds were. It turns out not very accurate, but I think it's a fairly good first attempt. The black version of these images is roughly how the final print may look (i.e. light lines on a dark background).

Diamond Print

I started work on a print i've been planning based around a diamond design. I want to strongly crease paper that has been printed black with a laserjet, so that the creases will turn white. I then want to use the creased paper to transfer the design onto a silkscreen (maybe via a flatbed scanner). I tried creasing some tracing paper to get a rough idea of how the image might look. Shown here are the guide I used to crease the paper and some photos of the creased tracing paper. It was hard to capture the creases using my camera, so I back-lit the paper by hanging it in a doorway.

Nothing But Navy Clothes

A few more possbilities. I think to call these 'designs' would be generous.

Rainbow Clothes

I just slapped my all-navy rainbow onto some photos of clothing to see if any nice designs could be made using it.

Cartoon Rainbow

I wanted to make a cartoon rainbow in Photoshop, but I couldn't figure it out somehow. I followed a tutorial, but it still didn't work how I wanted it... so I tried it a third time, using the 'stroke' of a circle as the bands of colour... and it worked. Let's celebrate.

Nothing But Navy Badge Set

Here are some rough plans for a set of badges to be sold in the Nothing But Navy Shop.

Nothing But Navy

I might also make some of these.

Nothing But Navy

A couple of ideas i've been thinking about making into prints for my friend's Nothing But Navy shop. The colours here aren't precise: everything has to made black before screenprinting anyway.
