[image description: 2 photos of a combination letterpress-printed and pen-inked illustration of a person on their phone, wearing a heavy jacket. the jacket is selectively letterpress printed with a two-color pattern: rows of yellow chevrons, printed over and in between each with rows of tiny pink arrows. at certain boundaries like seams and folds of the jacket, the pattern jogs at a different angle so it’s not an entirely flat rendering of the fabric pattern. the second photo is a closeup, showing the impression of the letterpress materials into the toothy paper. end description.]wip : Etsy (edition of 14)finally I have drawn an aspirational piece of clothing that I do not crave to own in vain, because I kind of already have this one!! Very approximately. It’s denim and not these colors exactly but it fits me about like this and is patched with some busy beige & yellow & pink & green upholstery fabric to cover the paint job of the previous owner.Bulky denim jackets are an icon of comfort & safety to me. I steal my mother’s flannel-lined one all the time. I remember as a kid, sleeping in the back of the car with my dad’s 80s Chubby & Tubby black denim coat for a blanket. Love is stored in the oversized pocketsAnyway! the pattern for this one came more from houndstooth, herringbone, etc. Fabrics where the texture communicates the weaving process. I got very very stubborn about using the bold 30 pt. Guillemets, despite how many passes it took to cover the whole area with them hahaaaaa. We have a very reasonable number of them for use as quotation marks! It took. So many more than that to cover this jacket. But they’re JUST the right texture so I committed. -- source link
