Identical



It's so good to be back doing Illustration Friday again! I have been off the radar a bit lately designing up a storm in my new job but I am ready to focus on my illustrative endeavors again and have plenty of new ideas to keep my paintbrush busy. I thought the above illustration was a great one to show for this weeks word 'Identical' as it is my first ever attempt at painting on plywood. I created this piece by scanning in my pencils, creating colour layers, then printing each layer and making stencils using contact paper and my trusty cutter. I painted each stencil layer with acrylic. I plan to keep perfecting this technique as I hope to put on a solo exhibition next year showcasing works on plywood. Hope you like it!

  1. Awesome work! Silk screening might be of interest to you. I grew watching my dad make signs, and your process seems similar.
