Zombie Pineapple 2016
Designed for a mural in high school which never came to fruition, here in image 1, the rough sketch of the pineapple is shown. Image 2 shows the newly fleshed out lines, with image 3 showing the traditional colorway. I now wear this undead fruit on a white cotton t-shirt and vintage red hooded sweater, each with distinct colourways, with the painted final of the traditional colours in image 4.The undead colourway is displayed in image 5, on the red sweater as previously stated. Printed before university, with an embroidery hoop and stencil blocked pantyhose as a makeshift stencilled silk screen. Using this apparatus, I painted the appropriate fabric paint colour into each section until completion. After removal of the screen and drying time, I used fabric markers to outline and lightly shade the dimension onto the pineapple in black. This approach was the one utilised for both renditions of this motif, and was later retired for its inefficiency and variability.
Avocato 2017
Avocato, in similar fashion to the Zombie Pineapple, lives on a white t-shirt. Printed before university, with an embroidery hoop and stencil blocked pantyhose as a makeshift stencilled silk screen. In image 1 the traditional colours are shown, with one of two hand lettering styles underneath it. Image 2 shows the second style of hand lettering, with the overripe brown avocado above. Image 3 is of the printed avocato in traditional colours with the hand lettering from the first image. Printed before university, with an embroidery hoop and stencil blocked pantyhose as a makeshift stencilled silk screen. Using this apparatus, I painted the appropriate fabric paint colour into each section until completion. After removal of the screen and drying time, I used fabric markers to outline in black. This approach was retired for its inefficiency later, after discovery of more reliable methods.
Chinese Lion Head 2018
The Chinese Lion was created as a passion project, meant to make blocks of isolated colours come together to make the final image. Printed during first year university, prior to screen printing classes, with an embroidery hoop and stencil blocked pantyhose as a makeshift stencilled silk screen. Using this apparatus, I painted the appropriate fabric paint colour into each section until completion. After removal of the screen and drying time, I used fabric markers to outline in black and brown. Method was soon abandoned for more reliable methods. Image 1 shows a traditional yellow coloured lion, in my new experimental style, on a white cotton t-shirt. Mock ups of both colourways are shown with grey in images 2 and 3. Image 3 shows the white lion, a less common colour from my observations.
