I carved out a stamp from that squid design I posted earlier. I really like the stylized stamp look I’ve got. I’ve found it’s a good way to make a digital image a little more interesting. I used a similar technique on my Death Cat shirt. I might clean up some of the stray lines, but I’m happy with the result. The original design was just too sterile. I might use this one in a future shirt.
Take a look
Here’s an idea for my Halloween costume: getting attacked by a monster cyclops squid.
Well, I’m so happy about my squid design that I’m going to make it into a shirt. I’ve fiddled around in my vector program (inkscape) and I’ve got a black and white image to use. It’s a bit darker than the original (I’m not talking about brightness), let me know what you think.
El Chupacabra Shirt
Before starting on the screenprinting process, I decided to make a quick freezer paper stencil of my chupacabra design, and today I finished it up. This is also my first 2 color stencil. It’s a bit blurry around the edges, but I’ll definitely do better next time. One problem with this stencil is that I made it soo small.
Here‘s the original design.
BEHOLD!
