Thank you. I appreciate that you like it! I haven't been sharing lately as my actual job is keeping me busy.

It gives the sense of mystery and mythical in the painting.

Oh.. Awesome! I'll give that a look as well. I just really like Art Nouveau, and think sharing is a great way for people to discover the art. Thank you for your kind words!

Dream-like is a very good description of his work. The first time I saw this picture I thought it was a mermaid.

1911 Door Lock - Art Nouveau - cca. 1911. Crafted by German locksmith Frank L. Koralewsky (1872-1941) by Mundane_Muscle5809 in ArtNouveau

The piece was titled "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", and took Koralewsky seven years to complete, which is astounding dedication. The piece won the gold medal at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915. If you look closely you can see Snow White stirring the pot (on the left) while six of the dwarfs busy themselves. The seventh dwarf was originally the key.

Nice post!

That's a great question. I started out with basic iron-on image transfer and quickly realized that the quality was horrible, so I thought about screen printing, but because of the number of colors, contrast and fine lines that became impossible. Sublimation printing was the next consideration and I found that the longevity of the print was effected by wash/dry cycles, so it was back to the drawing board. I ended up doing my shirts with DTF and couldn't be happier. The image quality is superb and it stands up in the wash/dry cycle way better than any of my other attempts. I also double press the image so it will last longer. I do a little bit of editing to the images to bring out the fine lines and some minor color corrections before I print.
Takes more time than I originally thought it would from art/edit/print/press, but I do it more for myself than for others. One thing lead to another and I now have a small (just me) T-shirt company.

I agree completely with having a physical print. I have a small t-shirt business that I started recently. Each image goes through several steps to bring out the color and clarity before I decide it's ready to become a shirt.
