I created this illustration when asked to do an art show at MOTR Pub, Cincinnati, Ohio.
My husband had a screen printing shop with a few of his friends, Libre Okay. And at the time, they were running production out of our basement. So the obvious choice was to create something that for that medium. Four colors, heavily inspired my idol, Tove Jansson.
Splitting it up into two, to create a shoreline that could be built upon. Libre has since moved and changed the name. One day I hope to have my own back up to continue building upon this.
First screen of my illo prepped and ready to be printer by the @libreokay crew.

It's all up!
