I am a very amateur artist--I do it as a hobby rather than as a lifestyle. That said, I have received a few requests from friends to see and/or purchase some of what I've done, so I've placed it here. If you are interested in purchasing any of it, you can contact me via email.

All of the pieces below are original designs that I have silk-screened onto shirts. I draw and cut out each by hand.

Biohazard Whale

Biohazard Whale

This might be my favorite T-shirt. I got the idea from hearing that some whales, when beached, qualify as a toxic biohazard.


Sad Child

This was an experiment in the pressure of the squeegee. The bottom of the T-shirt is supposed to look foggy.

Rose and Spider

Rose and Spider

This was one of the first ones I made with very thin lines. It was something of a challenge to cut out at the time.


Nuclear Squid

This one naturally followed the Biohazard Whale. One of my favorites. It's hard to see, but there's a radioactive waste symbol where the squid's eye goes.

Giant Centipede

Giant Centipede

Inspired by Venezualan centipedes that can grow a foot long. One of my very first screens, so not as refined as some of the others.


Leap

Man leaping to grab a tree.

Tornado

Tornado

There's a little house beneath the tornado. Cutting this one out was an exercise in patience and precision.


Camouflage

Just the stripes of the tiger are visible. Another exercise in patience.

Puppy Dog

Puppy Dog

This one is very cute. I originally made it for a friend's birthday.


Bear versus River

Strangely, this shirt was inspired by the movie Serenity. If you've seen it, you probably understand.

River versus Bear

Arctic Tern

Arctic Tern

This one was inspired by a photo by Miguel Lasa that I saw in the Natural History Museum of New York City. It is maybe my favorite shirt design.


Camouflage

It's hard to see in this picture, but there's a mosquito biting the foot.

Centipede 2

Centipede 2

This is an improvement on the original centipede shirt. Making the centipede shirt is frustrating because cutting out the stencils takes forever, and the always fall apart after a single use.


Terraformed Moon

Self-explanatory.

Chef's Knife

Chef's Knife

The "shine" on the knife is repeatable but will not turn out identical if screened again.
