Yesterday's blog took me back to look through some of my old work. I had spent a lot of time just working on prints and exploring photoshop, just then I had also been intrduced to the idea of digital printing and it opened a new horizon completely. Digital printing has been a huge revolution in textile printing. Block has its own charm and I am completely sold on the idea, though I could never appreciate the beauty of a screen print, it always came across and completely flat, the technique somehow even manages to kill the texture of any fabric.
Two years back my print work was published in a book compiled by Martin Dawber of UK, in a book called New Fashion Prints. They had selected new designers from Europe, USA, Canada, Japan, India and New Zealand, whose works were published in the book.
Right now I am using this platform to show of the prints that appeared in the above mentioned book.
Just echoing my love for the mughal era, the butas, the jalis and their tesselations, amazing!
Well there cant be a print collection without florals, atleats not when I am developing them.
A friend of mine in NID, had itorduced me to the work of Aubrey Breadsley, I fell in love with it immediately and saved a lot of his work as wallpapers and in my images just for keeps.
On a completely different note, when you start a textile design studio the first few projects that come along only want you to make either stripes or checks, none of which are very interesting. While doing these projects it always helped having Aubrey Breadsley's work as the screesaver. The print below was just trying to refersh my mind by trying to combine these two obcessions together.
A water colour painting, when it was created I did not know how can this e converted into a textile print and thus coing back to where we started, only last week managed to print it after 4 years thanks to the digital technology.

This was one of the first time that I realised that photoshop can do a lot more that cleaning images, I use 4 existing prints and some new pen options to create this what I took to be a mess initially though the publishers really liked it 2 years after it was created.

We all remember finger printing when we were kids, and making this print was as much fun. Obviously no need to sign this one.

Yes sometimes just going through what you had achieved is enough to push you to try and achieve more. I hope that I can go through some of it again and by next time I will have new work to share.
