Screen Printing
Screen printing has heavily influenced my approach to design. I enjoy the hands-on, trial-and-error nature of the process and the way it pulls me away from the computer to embrace imperfection. Colors rarely print exactly as expected, screens develop flaws, and ink can behave unpredictably, but those imperfections are what give screen prints their character. Rather than taking away from the final piece, I feel those inconsistencies add personality and make the work feel more authentic and tactile.
Where is my mind
This was my first screen printing project, where I leaned into imperfections like mis-registration and scanner distortion to create a handcrafted analog glitch aesthetic.
Don't fall down
This screen print combines photography, CMYK halftones, and hand-drawn illustrations to create a layered composition that captures the DIY spirit of the Gonzo Skateboards brand.
