YETI (Not the cooler brand)
Every thought, man, I really wonder where Yetis are from? Yeah, yeah, the Himalayas. Not this guy though! He’s property of nowhere, and he goes wherever he wants. Actually though, he’s kind of tied down to that 18x24 piece of French Paper that I screen printed him on at the moment. But usually, it's free range baby!

This project was a part of some learning attempts to work digitally in photoshop, and test out some new (old) printing techniques. Most of what I grew up with was already made digitally, and honestly a lot of my exposure to that 1960s and 70s style of printing has been within the past few years. I gave it a shot though, and printed with cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Good ol’ CMYK. That was pretty much the extent of the printing process. Or so I thought.
I'm pretty terrified of tornadoes. I grew up in Oklahoma and Kansas, and they were a constant threat. One night in Minneapolis there was a pretty nasty storm running through, and I went to the one place I could. The screenprinting room in the basement of Old Main at Augsburg. While weathering the storm, I got busy printing with my yeti. I took a basic paint brush and started painting down some background blue before printing the black linework over the top of it. I was pretty happy with the results!
