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.

Nothing But Navy Symbols

Possibly for printing onto notebook covers, making into badges etc for my friend's Nothing But Navy shop.

Fountain Pen Print

I'm in the early stages of preparing a print i've been planning for ages. It'll probably be a four-colour screenprint on A2 stock, possibly with a gloss overprint for the metal parts of the nib. The next step is to add some more engraved stuff onto the nib of the pen. I'm tempted to actually use a metal engraving plate for this part of the design, but we'll see.

Halloween Poster

I quickly made this poster for my friend's workplace, because she didn't really have time.
I'm not sure about the Mars Attacks typeface, but it was the most Halloweeny one I had on my laptop. Also, I think best-dressed should be hyphenated.

Suckerpunch

I might give up on this.

Ant Farm

Some very rough initial ideas for a piece I probably won't bother to finish.

Checked Shirt Print

I printed this today. Two-colour screenprint on A2 card.

Props!

LAD Poster Print

Here are some photos of the LAD poster I made a while ago. Eventually, I want to print this onto some nicer stock, take some good photos and get it on my website, but I can't be bothered right now.

Axe Head

Not the best photos in the world, but here is the design on an olive green t-shirt and a zinc grey t-shirt.

Axe Head...

Here's the image on the screen, a t-shirt on the drying rack and one I printed onto more because it went wrong.

Axe Head (Tool)

Today I printed this nice image onto some t-shirts.

Mark Beard

An idea I quickly came up with for a potential client. I quite liked it, they didn't.

Shirt Print Design

Here is roughly how the finished print should look... I might have used the wrong background colour here, but it'll be 'Ocean Blue' in real life.

Shirt Print

Preview of how the tones will be achieved with two colours (in this pic, black and white). Looks scruffy close up, but the dots will be very small on the actual print.

Shirt Print

I made a plan a while ago to turn images of clothing into flat, pattern-based compositions. I've decided to try it out with this checked shirt.
I want to try and get all the tones I need using two silkscreens, printed onto coloured stock. The registration will have to be very precise, so i'm looking forward to the challenge.
Here is the 'building block' for the pattern, and the pattern starting to tessellate. I'll probably add some stitches, buttons and pockets etc later on.

G.P.C. / Hot Feet

Today I joined the Gloucestershire Printmaking Co-operative. It was really nice to be back in a print studio and to be using some proper printing equipment again. There are lots of different presses I want to use, but today I got inducted on the screenprinting equipment. I prepared the screen for some Hot Feet t-shirts I am going to print tomorrow and I wanted to try out the GPC equipment straight away, so I printed the image onto some sheets of newsprint.

Tom Waits Poster

A poster I quickly designed for the Tom Waits night at the Prince Albert.

Seabird

Some things I made using Photoshop the other day.

Stroud Fringe'11 Poster Draft

Initial idea for a Fringe Festival poster.

LAD Cutouts

I want to get back into cutting paper stencils, which I hope I can use as positives for silkscreen prints.
Shown here is an example of what I have in mind. I hope to make a range of these portrait cutouts depicting old school 'lads', some of which which I will probably print onto t-shirts.
I have posted a photo of the original cutout, as well as an inverted version of the photo, to show how the image would print if it was used as a positive for a silkscreen print. I have used sugar paper because it is much thicker than 80gsm paper and therefore less likely to turn transparent on my oily light box.

LAD Poster

Plans for a two-colour screenprint poster. This will probably be printed at A2 and I think i'll go with the red text.

Masters of Supspicion Badge Set

A blurry photo of the initial prototype for a complete set of The Masters of Suspicion badges. The backing card shown here is a woodblock letterpress I made in Dennis Gould's studio. Once I have settled on some typographic elements for the project, I might make a new version of this backing card, probably using a lino cut or rubber stamp. The text in the finished product will probably be more like a neater version of that used in the poster draft below.

Masters of Suspicion Poster Draft

A rough layout for one of the posters I want to include in my project.
This will probably be a four-colour screenprint, featuring halftone images similar to those featured on the t-shirts.

Masters of Suspicion Cross T-Shirt

Here is a simple t-shirt design I printed as part of the Masters of Suspicion project.
I didn't bother to iron these before I took the photos, but I will take some new pics for my website once the project is finished.

Masters of Suspicion

I've started this new project called The Masters of Suspicion. The work is based on a really good lecture I heard about Marx, Nietzsche and Freud: three men who went to war with God and won.
I want the finished project to consist of probably four t-shirts, a range of posters, some badges, some stickers and maybe some passages of letterpress text. Once this project is finished, I want to package the work into various-sized bundles, so if people want some, they can buy as much or as little as they like.
Here are the halftone images I want to print onto some of the t-shirts.
