Here's my finished piece that was done for ArtsGala 2018! This one was finished in a little less than a day (although it is rather small), half of the carving was done during ArtsGala and then I was able to print it throughout the night as a demonstration for patrons. A challenge to finish in a short amount of time buuut I also procrastinated on it per usual 👌🏻 came out a bit nicer than I expected. • #print #printmaking #relief #reliefprint #woodcut #woodblock #woodcutprint #woodblockprint #succulent #succulents #plants (at Wright State University)

• supernatural wallpaper • A screen print assignment using a repeating pattern. The theme was "the natural world" so I decided to do the supernatural world. Used pretty typical images associated with the paranormal/spiritual/occult and also American folklore/urban legends. It's also a narrative! Who is that behind her?! She dead?? I inevitably goofed some things in this one but I still dig it. The central figure and mirror are both cut off 👻✨ whoops • #print #printmaking #screenprint #screenprinting #silkscreen #silkscreenprint #supernatural #paranormal #spirit #spiritual #occult #occultart #folklore #urbanlegend #jackalope #mothman #pointpleasant #goat #blackgoat #mugwort #ghost #spirit #spoopy

My sloppy new screen print feat. a Helper Dragon wax figure designed by Tim Biskup. Helper was a gift from @mirthmamah years ago and still serves as my little muse ✨ this screen print was an attempt at trying to perfect the use of drawing fluid. It was not successful 🌧 • #printmaking #screenprinting #screenprint #leaves #plant #dragon (at Wright State University)

Monster Throne • A Girl and Her Monsters First relief woodcut for the semester finished! I'm so happy with it ✨ 5 layers total, figure/still life study of me in my natural, plush habitat. I can't decide on a title for this one and I kind of stress over naming pieces in general. • #print #printmaking #woodcut #woodblock #reduction #relief #reliefprint #figure #stilllife #plush #uglydoll #malfi #mameshiba

1. Paper Beef 2. Leafy Beefs 3. The Ghostly Assemblage of Beef • screenprints, monotypes • while Beef cannot speak to the dead, he is soft & good wizard who can conjure powerful visual magic. His otherworldliness attracts the spirits and Matcha serves as a translator between the living and the dead • #screenprint #printmaking #monoprint #monotype #cat #magic (at Wright State University)
