Moonlight Serenade

[Celia at Grafted Works]

Had fun allowing the background to double as a color with this one.

Although I have never done it myself, one of my favorite illustration production methods is screen printing. With each color applied separately, there are happy accidents like the plates not lining up exactly right that make every copy unique. Because I went even simpler by omitting overlapping colors, this piece had to be planned and executed differently than previous pieces I’ve done. I had to allow for contrast, details, and a light source within a very limited color palette of 3 colors (near black, orange, and grey) on a more vintage off-white base.

This is true vector with one subtle texture raster layer over the top that can easily be replicated for any size.

Happy Sunday, all!

it IS reminiscent of a screen print! Love it, and the title is brilliant.
