At Thought Bubble 2014 my screen prints sold really well, so I thought I would do another run of Scully prints this year. The prints were mainly for fun, and the design is just meant to be a 'teenage Scully' sort of spin off. I tried hard to think of a different composition, rather than just showing the figure face on, so I drew her from a higher angle, and I think it really works with her posture.
The prints themselves truned out quite well, most of them were two colour so they weren't too difficult to produce. I tried printing onto different stock for some variety, and the pink ones sold quite well, although the original with Scully's iconic red hair was my favourite.
I still need to work on positioning screens correctly when I'm printing, because some of the prints didn't look quite right and were too misaligned.
The pink stock made it a bit hard to see the design, especially because the black lines were so thin, I liked playing around with different stock but I think that the first two designs worked much better. Getting the chance to screen print again was enjoyable, but it made me remember just how stressful the process can be, especially when things don't go as planned.
