This is a drawing I did many years ago for a holiday card. Because of all the snow we’ve been having in New England, posting this now feels very appropriate!
Graphic Art: Hosmer Elementary School
End result: white ink on a t-shirt. Intermediate step: negative line drawing on tracing paper!
Graphic Art: Beantown Boys Hockey
This is a project I worked on a couple years ago for a hockey team! It mainly involved vectorizing their original sketch and then separating the colors for printing.
Graphic Design and 3-color Separation: Baird Family Reunion logo in Plaid
I designed these shirts for my family’s reunion in 2012. As you can see, it’s a 3-color print, but the beauty of plaid makes it appear like 9 colors! Of course, this is the actual Baird tartan pattern, which makes it extra cool.
Customer Spotlight: Unstraight
I took this multi-color design and reduced it down to lavender and white on a black t-shirt. Shirts are for sale on their website.
Bio:
Unstraight takes all you ever wanted out of your imagination and channels it into instruments and amplifiers, swarming your ears and overwhelming your brain until you’re moving your body not knowing why. Taking alternative rock to the edges of its boundaries with electronic, punk, and garage; Unstraight does not walk the common path.
We are all women, all queer, and all you ever wanted.

Here’s a vector drawing I did for screen printing 3 color, from a scan of a business card.
Graphic Art: The Pit Bulls
This is one of the first art projects I did at my shop – back in 2006. I started with clip art from the internet, and traced a line drawing. I was so proud of this one that I had it printed on a shirt, and I walked around wearing it, even though, to this day, I have no idea who The Pitt Bulls were!
Graphic Art: Everett Crimson Tide Football
A customer wanted this design based off a sample shirt from last year, with a couple changes. My new vector art is shown below.
5-color Separation: Save That Stuff
A recent 5-color project at my shop. The customer wanted to recycle a bunch of Bentley t-shirts by printing over the front of the existing design. I was responsible for taking the photographic image and creating the films for the 5 screens.
