Two: Portfolio

My online portfolio can be found at cmcgahhey.tumblr.com .


Out of the works that I have done over the past few years my favorite is probably the stamp poster that I made in Spring 2015. This project combined hand crafted work with digital. First I made the stamp and used watercolor on a sheet of paper, then I folded it to make a "Rorschach test" type of ink blot. When I scanned the photo to make it into a poster I kept the creases, so that the printed A1 size would keep that handmade feeling. The phrase that I chose was from Alice in Wonderland, my favorite book series and a huge inspiration to my works. 



Most projects that I made I only kept digitally, however I still have the A1 poster and display it when I have the space to do so. I think keeping a work for several years and still liking it, as an artist/designer who usually hates their own work shortly after it's made, means that you must really like the piece.
