It might be blasphemy to alter one of my grandmother's famous prints, Llama-Llama, but horizontal lines are hard to wear and a headache to cut for garments. I do love my grandmothers original, especially the way each hand-drawn llama is ever-so-slightly different if you look closely enough. I'll bring back the original in the future, but at the moment I'm planning to print shirts and dresses with this design and I want my llamas distributed randomly like a happy herd in the Andes of Peru. With the help of Illustrator and a random number generator I created a design, then altered the edges of my design so that it would repeat seamlessly. I took the image to a local silkscreen shop who burned my updated llamas to a screen and then I tested out my print on a new set of business cards. What do you think? Which version do you prefer?
