I am a very amateur artist—I do it as a hobby rather than as a lifestyle.  That said, I have received a few requests from friends to see and/or purchase some of what I’ve done, so I’ve placed it here.  If you are interested in purchasing any of it, you can contact me via email.

All of the pieces below are original designs that I have silk screened onto shirts.  I drew and cut out each by hand.

This might be my favorite T-shirt.  I got the idea from hearing that some whales, when beached, qualify as a toxic biohazard.

This one was the first one I made with very thin lines.  It was something of a challenge to cut out.

Inspired by Venezuelan centipedes that can grow a foot long.  One of my very first screens, so not as refined as some of the others.

This one naturally followed the Biohazard Whale.  One of my favorites.  It’s hard to see, but there’s a radioactive waste symbol where the squid’s eye goes.

This was my experiment in the pressure of the squeegee.  The bottom of the T-shirt is supposed to look foggy.

There’s a little house beneath the tornado.  Cutting this one out was an exercise in patience and precision.

This one is very cute.  I originally made it for a friend’s birthday.

Just the stripes of the tiger are visible.  Another exercise in patience.

This one was inspired by a photo by Miguel Lasa that I saw in the Natural History Museum in New York city.

Strangely enough, this was inspired by the movie Serenity.  If you’ve seen it, you should understand.

It’s hard to see in this picture, but there’s a mosquito biting the foot.

Making the centipede shirts is frustrating because cutting out the stencils take forever and they always fall apart after one screen.

The “shine” on the knife is repeatable but will not turn out identical if screened again.

Self-explanatory.
