Hand pulled by the artist
🎵 A new take on an old classic
I keep seeing pictures of this old 50 Foot Wave t-shirt around, and I've been wondering for a while about doing a hand scrawled ElRat version, inspired by that old shirt. So here it is, a new take on an old classic. Personally approved by the one Kristin Hersh, and only available from ElRat Designs. Available now as a print, also available on a T-Shirt
We all know 50 foot wave is a band that doesn't get anything like the love it deserves. Show your appreciation for the noisy end of the Hersh world, with this Original Art Print.🎶🎧🖤
🎨 Hand-Drawn, Hand-Pulled Screen Print
I have Aphantasia, which means I can't visualise in my head, so I have to draw something, to be able to see it, sometimes even when I draw it and think it's right, it doesn't look right once its printed. This was my second attempt at this, The first one looked great on paper (Or so I thought anyway) but when I printed it, it just didn't work at all. Take two looks great, I think especially on the pale blue card. Hand-pulled with archival water-based ink on 300gsm card, all prints are supplied unframed.
💰 Affordable Original Art
These prints are probably cheaper than they should be for genuine hand-pulled screen prints, but I want to find that balance - getting my art into the world while keeping it accessible. Every Hersh purchase directly funds Kristin Hersh studio time. Every ElRat purchase supports my art and my ability to keep doing what I do.
🖤 The ElRat Paradox
I am an artist who doesn't "love" visual art. I would never go to an art gallery, never look at an art book. I know nothing of other artists, or their work. Aphantasia means I have no visual memory, and it's hard to love something you can't remember. I *LOVE* drawing, it calms my head like nothing else, and I do like the pictures I make, but I can look back, even just a couple of days in my sketchbook, and have absolutely no memory of the picture there. I only really make art for the love of making it. They are intense, and scrappy because they have to be, I can't come back to a picture because as soon as I turn away, I forget it exists. So when I start, I have to finish before I lose concentration. Because for me, drawing is the point, not the pictures. If other people like it, I consider that an honour.
