Screen printed booklplate

I've managed to produce a few of these, even though I'm not so hot at registration and at least half of them were too crooked to use, but at least the colours came out well. It's hard to see in the photo but the black is more of a dark bluish green. The print is modified from the bookplate stamp I made my sister last year, she's a total bibliophile and stamps all her books before lending them out.
I'm thinking of selling these in sets of two or three, but I'm not too sure how much to charge for them, any suggestions?

Gazalea


Here's a screenprint I made for my recent school stuff. It's called Gazalea, get it?

The ever transforming White Lady

I've been reading about 'White Ladies' which are a sort of ghost archetype. They normally appear in rural areas and are associated with a local tragedy, but there are local varieties all around the world. This drawing is of a Norwegian White Lady (Den Hvite Dame), she threw herself off the Fredriksten Fortress after her lover got hit by a cannonball. She is said to appear at midnight and sometimes sort of waves to people.

This was my initial sketch which I teased out into a print design (below)


But my blue layer got held up in the screenprinting process so she's just one colour at the moment. I love screenprinting but aren't particularly good at it yet. 

 Then I decided she wasn't quite ghostly enough so lobbed off her feet, changed her dress and went back to trusty pencil.

Zombie Résumé

These images were for a two layer screenprint I made for a zombie themed exhibition at Cross Street studios. The piece is called Zombie Résumé and grew out of an idea I had for a comic about an old man who uses zombies to run errands and carry out menial tasks for him. I thought the image of a zombie carrying things on his outstretched arms was kinda funny so wanted to keep that. I wanted to do a hobbies section (bowling and disemboweling) but ran out of space. I'll put up a pic of the finished print when I get around to taking a photo of it.


I have excellent customer service skills.



I have a high standard of personal grooming.



I am a team player and get on well with my co-workers.



I am also very good at carrying things.
