I give thanks to my loyal customer Fr Dean, whom gives me loads of work, usually with short turn around times and minimum quantities. Always providing Joy and quality art work file to hand cut.

Sometimes the old fashion way is better for this type of work and also no delay in waiting for the photographic screen technique to be applied. These T shirts were well received and used for a one night concert, very impromptu indeed.

Hand printing the "Quokka Kids" T shirt range for a Melbourne client.

 The brief for the quakka kid Tee shirt range was to firstly highlight and retain the hand drawn nature of the designs. The Tee shirt colours are all very bright colours to showcase the beautiful imagery.

                    Originally drawn by the clients daughter, using crayons on paper. 

I worked with the clients graphic designer to keep the texture and painterly quality for the hand pulled screen prints. Producing some terrific results and bringing further attention in respect to the print colors and the alignment of the multi colored designs.

Printed back label.

Bright T shirts, this pile doesn't look like 200!!
