"A little bit of Everything"

This piece combines photography, Photoshop knowledge and screen-printing. I made a photo-stencil by using Illustrator because it is not a pixilized based program, unlike Photoshop. This burned a sharper image onto the screen that I personally stretched. After I printed the image to the shirt, I photographed it using this model (the person I made the shirt for.) I then brought the picture into Photoshop. The first thing I did was clear out the background with "the magic eraser tool". I then made a new background layer, and dropped in a plain brick background so the focus was no longer on the background. Finally I put in a "filter effect" giving it the feel that it was almost a cartoon or something. Over the past year my passion for screen printing has grown and I really enjoy making clothing and handcrafted gifts for others.
