As part of a since discontinued drawing challenge, I initially drew the "Cloudhead" character in July of 2018. At first it was simply going to be digital artwork,
but I figured the character would look wonderful printed on a shirt or on posters. Finally, in December of 2018, with the help of my professor Mat Samuel, I converted the image
digitally to a screenprinting-friendly format and printed a set of three posters: red and black, blue and pink, and white and gold. T-Shirt are (hopefully!) on the way!

The first version of the screenprint. The screen clouded up on the shirt, however, we liked the effect it gave and kept it.
