Chair Affair 2012 Poster Art - Pieces of Home
It's almost time for the Community Warehouse's 2012 Chair Affair. Last year I created a piece I called the Night Yeti. This year I decided to do a limited run of 12 screen printed posters, called "Pieces of Home". Each hand pulled print features several of my illustrations of various items that the Community Warehouse collects from donators, and redistributes to families and persons in need. Each poster was printed using water based non-toxic inks on 12" x 18" French 140lb Construction paper. There is a 1/2" boarder for easy framing and they are signed and numbered on the back. You'll can purchase one of these poster during the Chair Affair Event on March 15, 2012!

Love Birds
I created this image a bit differently then I normally do. It started from a small doodle, as most of my work does, that I then drew a larger version and scanned. Since I do so much screen printing, normally at this point I would painstakingly convert my line work to vector art using the pen tool in illustrator. I know, I know, Live Trace Dude... Maybe I just don't know enough about that tool, but I never feel like it stays true to my actual line work. In this case, I used the following youtube tutorial to quickly and cleanly remove the white from my drawing, leaving only my line. Then I used Photoshop to paint the drawing in. What I really enjoy here, given that my lines are never perfect and clean, it really does look and feel like my hand draw sketches and images. Something that's hard to truly achieve in Illustrator.
Prints are made using my Epson Stylus Photo R2880, with archival inks and on acid free Ultra Premium Presentation Matte Paper. If you like it, you can order up a signed copy up from my shop!

On top of that I've dropped the prices on all my pocket notebooks! Check'em out and stock up!
** Update - I got some feed back that my photo's where a bit to sterile, and my hand was a huge scary distraction, so I've updated my shots. Whatcha think?
