first attempt at homemade screen printing.....

so I uploaded the digital version earlier this semester but the last few days I have been making paper cuts of the different colors so that I could make stencils....so then I "screen printed" it on the paper......this probably wont be the last one....Think I might try different colors...and go the extra mile and make my own paper for the final one that is suppose to go into my portfolio....O ya for the black line I cheated....I threw it through the printer once I had painted the colored layers and had let them dry.... :-)


The Stencils


Finished...well still needs some tweeks before the last one

New Business Cards for My Graphic Design and Illustrations


Finding it hard to come up with the colors I want but I'm becoming fond of these ones. This card will need some tweaks but for the most part this is it.

winter in eastern montana

My wife and I are visiting family in eastern Montana....If you haven't been there before let me tell you that it is very cold in winter....and its very flat...it has gotten down to -70 degrees at my parents farm with the wind chill in past winters. I decided to get the cam out and take a few 180 degree shots and shop them a little to give you an idea of the beauty and the coldness of eastern Montana's winters.
