Loving my raccoon design on this lady I met in Chicago last weekend at the Wells St Art Fair! Repost from @heartyourhaircolor an Eco friendly salon down in Chicago! #raccoon #ecofriendlyfashion #screenprinting (at Wells St. Arts festival)

Hand drawn tree ring pattern in black ink. Printed on sea green, soft, vintage feel, men's cut shirt. I am loving the pop of this new shirt color!

Spiced up this old Octopus design of mine with a custom mixed color, made of orange, white, and yellow. What do you think of this ink color on purple?

This is the one of my designs attached to an organic cotton, canvas tote bag. I have my new logo screen printed in white ink on the inside. I have about 10 designs that I will be making into bags in the next couple of days. So stay tuned for another shop update! #organic #totebag #handmade #unique #marketbag #riverphotography #buyhandmade #supportsmallbusiness

Printed my Sloth design on a few of these marble blue, racerback tank tops! Going to have a shop update tomorrow morning, with some new designs and shirt colors!

Test printed this painting today!! I am working like crazy this past 3 days, while I have off from waiting tables!! Next on the list is printing some new designs on tees and tanks this afternoon with some brand new waterbase ink. Would you like to see this painting on a market bag? Because I will be making them as soon as I get my order of fabric delivered to me.

Close up of my computer screen right now!! I think I have officially finished my logo. This will be printed in white ink on the inside of my new black totes. Took literally hours to make a negative of a negative, inverting my original black ink drawing on white paper. All of this is hand drawn, with a brush and ink. I then cleaned it up a bit in photoshop. Next step will be to make a live trace in Illustrator for an official vector logo. So ready to be done with this project! #laurel #plants #diyfashion #fashionlabel #train #northtraindesigns #handdrawnlogo #bohostyle

I am working on making a new logo for my business, I need to order new business cards! But I am also going to be adding neck tags to shirts, and branding the inside of my bags. This is hand drawn lettering, just filled it in this morning. Still a lot of work left to do! Going to add more lettering and a border of some sort. #handdrawntype #newlogo #northtraindesigns

Introducing my watercolors (printed on cotton canvas with water base ink) and then appliqued to certified organic market totes! The totes are also a really nice heavy weight cotton canvas, and have a gusset bottom to for all your shopping needs. (Or whatever else you put in a tote!) Completely machine washable, and every purchase supports environmental non-profit organizations! This bag among others will be apart of a shop update happening very soon!
