Inspiration: Flatbed Printing and its Possibilities

EFI VUTEk Q3200

Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.

Large format printing has moved beyond papers towards everything from “ceiling tiles, doors, laptop covers, furniture, leather, and wallpaper” (Digital Output, June 2009: Versatile Flatbeds ). Wall murals and glass partitions for exhibits, restaurants, and other environmental displays are a few of the possibilities for the new EFI VUTEk printers due to its flexible ink technology. The world is fast becoming a printable surface.

Artwork: Love-Inspired Shirts

One Love

Since Valentines is here, there’s love in the air, so that was the theme to these designs. One Love is inspired by a phrase in Bob Marley’s song, “One Love”, but expanded to include the text “One Love, One Hope, One Voice.” It’s done in a grungy fashion, and incorporates my urban calligraphy. It’s based on the inclusive attitude of the hip-hop and reggae musical communities. The shirts are available for men and women here.

Dying for Love

Dying for Love is a goofy visual pun. This design can also be found on Zazzle.

Love Monster

Inspired by the Cookie Monster and Valentines Day, the Love Monster eats hearts for breakfast. Indicative of the “Happy Insanity” t-shirt series, this design has a little bit of cynicism mixed with humor. He can be purchased here.

The original artwork was created a while back on clayboard, then scanned and cleaned up in Photoshop. View Larger.

This is my second turn at the TeeFury site. The folks there have been more than gracious, and while the first design (Dragon O) was a controversial one, this design is more traditional and may fare better. I love to work with different art styles, so it’s always an adventure!
