From my drawings, had a little play on photoshop with some digital print designs from my drawings. this is made from the scratched foil in a nail shape, i then scanned it into photoshop and using a collection of adjustment layers, i created a brush pattern with the scribbley, scratchy nail shape. Below are the results.
Natalie suggested in our group tutorial that i get these onto fabric, however i couldnt afford to at the time pay for digital print, and with my previous troubles with crippling anxiety, i found my knowledge of the university facilities to be lacking. However there is nothing stopping me collaging with these over a james long catwalk picture to see how they would work on his silhouettes. i could develop that idea even further by collaging my designs over vintage tennis garment photographs to see how they would work on a garment like that.
With these designs ive tried to keep the masculinity within them and the James Long gritty vibe that a lot of his designs have. i have done this by keeping the colour pallete quite muted and a little on the dirty side.
The Scratchy nail shape would also work really well into machine embroidery as well as print. i could possibly looking into how i can print this onto fabric on a budget and work into it with stitch.
