Serigraff-iti

Just signed up for a serigraph printing workshop at a local studio called La Bourgeoise Serigraphie. The course requires us to supply our own design (2-3 colours) which will be printed on any surface/textile of our choosing, up to a maximum size of 8.5" X 11". For this I wanted to try a few designs which incorporate a heavy graphic element. One of which is this design based on the Imperial Stormtrooper character design by the late great Ralph McQuarrie for Star Wars. I'm a fan of stencil graffiti art for its pop/comedic sensibilites and strong imagery. The image was composed of 2 photographs which I had shot. One was from a wedding, the other was from the Star Wars Identities exhibiton. I'll let you figure out which was which.
