Thanks for Nothing — Screen Printing & Illustration

Illustration | Screen Printing | Print Design

For Thanks for Nothing, I created a playful illustration inspired by the familiar "Thank You" design found on Chinese takeout boxes, giving it a sarcastic twist. Starting with a rough sketch, I brought the concept into Adobe Illustrator, refining the artwork into a bold, two-color design featuring worms, expressive outlines, and halftone textures.

I separated the artwork into two layers for screen printing, using a solid base for the worms and a second layer for the outlines and halftone details. I also mixed custom plastisol inks and experimented with different color combinations to bring the illustration to life.

This project was a fun opportunity to take my artwork from a digital concept to a physical print. Through the process, I gained a better understanding of color separation, layering, and screen printing techniques while exploring how bold lines and texture can bring personality to a design. I enjoyed the process so much that I ended up creating two different color variations of the final piece.
