T shirt and bag design

Fineliner, I kept the owl silhouette and added a folk style design that I found on Pinterest. Because this design is going onto the t shirts and bags, I had to think about sizing and positioning of the writing. I swapped it from the top of the wings to underneath the illustration. I intend to send this design to a professional printhouse to have it put onto a screen, so that I can have a good clean finish for my prints



This was the image I found so inspiring and it originates from New York artist, Thaneeya McArdle's blog

Finished Illustrative Vinyl idea

Practise printing lino onto a photocopy to make sure can line up. I chose the ink colour as it ties in with the muted tones of the branches and leaves.

Finished Illustrative Vinyl Cover, Slightly less smooth print due to raised surface of emulsioned background. All things considered I'm very happy with the result.
