You might recognize some of these prints. That goldfish one has always been one of my favorites before I ever knew who the designer was! The whole catalyst for the NYC trip was that I went there to take a class from Heather Ross about Photoshop for Fabric Design. There were some amazingly creative people in class with me and some designs that I would love to see printed on fabric. Although I am pretty good with Photoshop, I did love the sneak peak in to the way Heather works and the excuse to get a lot of practice with my Wacom tablet. If you get a chance to take a class from Heather, do it. She is laid back, ready to laugh and generous with her ideas and skills. It was a lovely vacation from the real world.
My vintage Wacom actually was a curiosity for the Mac-geeks upstairs from our classroom. Class was held at Tekserve on 23rd, which was awesome! The people who worked there were so friendly and the shop itself is worth a visit. Almost any blank surface is covered with antique technology: old radios, video cameras, a Mac signed by “Woz”. My computer station was placed right under the latch hook apple logo!
I haven’t quite finished the repeat of my design from class but you can see a little sample. Just before we started sketching, I had a conversation with the amazing Ava (Mac genius, class assistant) about being from South Dakota and after that I had to do buffaloes. A grassy version and a dusk version.
ooh I love how your prints turned out!! So lovely!
I totally missed the “Woz” computer. AWESOME
