Steven Harrington works in Los Angeles where he owns and operates National Forest Design with Justin Krietemeyer. As well as doing illustrative designs for skateboards and shop interiors for clients like Burton Snowboards and Sixpack, he does a lot of personal projects which I have chosen to look at because my book was themed around a collection of drawings and a lot of his work involves big collections of images. Also he uses the process of screenprinting a lot in his work and using this process was the main reason for doing my book brief.
Badges are good for having big collections :) I think the pages from my book would make good badges. Im going to make some if I have time.
He produces these screenprints which i think are beautiful because I love the dirty looking paper and bright colours. I think if I am going to do more screenprinting I want to do really colourful things like this because my book is only black and white and I didn't experiment with colour very much. He says the most playful and exciting thing in this process is mistakes which I like because a lot of my better work comes from mistakes (happy ones).
He uses interesting processes and experiments with media a lot. These are done by painting on top of polaroids.
