[EDIT: All the prints have been claimed (as well as a couple secret backups) -- if you've already e-mailed me, I've got one for you, and I'll reply soon!]
I love the idea of multi-layer prints, whether they’re screen prints, stencils, or stamped designs. I’d been meaning to try one for a while now, and I finally got around to it yesterday:
It doesn’t look perfect, obviously, but it’s actually exactly as I wanted it. I’ve spent a reasonable amount of time creating this effect (uneven print, slightly off register, etc) by hand in Photoshop, but nothing compares to the texture of the real thing (it’s a set of three carved stamps, by the way).
But why should you care? (Ooh, mustn’t start asking that question.) I made several prints of this yesterday, but I haven’t fooled myself that I can sell them, so — give away! I’m going to cut out six from my sheet of prints and send them to the first six people who e-mail me (anna.torborg[AT]gmail.com). Er, so I hope there are six people who want one.
Click the image to enlarge. The total image size is only 2″x2″, so if you want one and I send it and then you decide you don’t like it after all, you can totally just tuck it behind something and never have to worry about it again! It’s like a miniature piece of art. Art I made, but still. I did illustrate a book once.
p.s. — The print to the right in the photo above is the most badly registered of them all and isn’t one I’ll be sending out.
They’re great! Very cute indeed.
Oh, so sweet! Multi-leyer prints are on my list of things to try too. I hope you have one left!
oh goodness goodness! I’d love one. Would you be interested in trading? I have a small frenchtoastcake set of prints that I worked on & I’d love to trade if you’d be interested!
so sorry i missed the give-away. they are adorable!
Not for nothing, but if you did sell them, I’d buy one. Let the record state.
I have to say, these are so wonderful! They have such a great, vintage feel. I think they would actually look really sweet on a t-shirt. I also have to say, given the chance, I would actually have requested the badly registered print. I liked it best, it looks like the bird is singing at sunrise & the white is where the sun is hitting them as it comes up.
I am just in total awe of talented folks like yourself!
