I really REALLY enjoy tacky.

Look who enjoys flocking. This girl.

Strawberry Ice Cream Goddess is a five color screen print with the final magenta layer flocked. Flocking was an interesting process. I found that a ratio of one part ink and one part adhesive (I'm assuming it was PVA) worked well, however I made multiple passes with the squeegee to ensure the areas did not dry too quickly. I had a little bit of an issue with it drying in my screen so printing with multiple passes, much like fabric printing, and quick working helped to avoid constant trips to the sink.

So busy. I miss video games.

I've had my Wacom Bamboo tablet for about 7 years I think? I know I definitely bought it while I was in middle school, but I'm just now figuring out how to (successfully) draw with it. Happy days!

Below are in progress sketches for a print I'm preparing for screens.

 This will be part of a three part series of my ice cream goddesses, and will feature some flocked elements. I expect it to be a five color run, including the flock but excluding the paper color. Updates next week!

Also, happy Valentines day everyone!
