A new print piece I made for the Montserrat College of Art annual
illustration show. This year the theme was the Wizard of Oz. I figured I
could make something for the show with my set of skills, despite not
actually being an illustrator. I had thought to screen print the image
to paper but to learn enough about screen printing in the short time I
had to make the image seemed a little foolhardy, so I ended up printing
it digitally. And since I had the option to print it without size
restriction since it was digital, I wanted to make it a poster instead
of just a standard mounted printout. I decided to make it look like something that might be considered "poppy" or "trendy", so having the bright colors in here seemed to be a smart option. That, combined with the vertical arrangement, made the traffic light theme the logical choice. But even though the animal faces are obvious, I had to be sure to follow with the theme, throwing the "Oh My" logo for faux branding.
After the show, some people have asked for their own copy of the poster (and have even offered money for them too). I might have to consider selling copies of these things in the near future.
