strawberryluna is Allison & Craig, a wife & husband design, illustration and silkscreen printing studio from Pittsburgh, PA in the US.
They are strongly influenced by the natural world, translating what they see from realism to folktale & symbolic imagery. The fantastical, the stark, the improbable are made into a new world seen through the windows of clean design. They love to draw from both past and current influences in their work and mix the two with regard only to the aesthetic outcome, in an effort to hopefully make a brighter, happier corner of the world and a tiny universe where a cat and a mouse are perfectly capable of being super best friends.
They illustrate, design & then hand silkscreen print rock posters for bands, create and print art prints and more. Mostly self-taught, they are both firmly rooted in the handmade movement and traditions of DIY.
But mostly? They like fun.
The start of a new something, literally and figuratively. Poster this unfinished, in progress sketch of a lil peep on Dribble.com today.
In the sold out poster clean up, we found 2 copies of our sold out Dandy Warhols poster though, hey now!
Found in a pile of work returned from an art show a while back. Whoops. Up in my Etsy shop now and once they’re gone, that’s it baby!
Did some serious re-organizing of our personal studio copies sold out posters & prints today. After 6 years of printmaking, we finally got a better system than just neat, but dense & unorganized piles for sold out posters & prints going.
Old piles in back, new file system in the foreground.
Our new hand silkcreen printed Tour poster for Sara Bareilles,with hand mixed midnight black, soft pink and love-red, acrylic screenprinting inks. Click for more info here!
Ink Life.
This is what I did yesterday. Rose Red, a new hand silkscreen printed art print.
So superfresh off the press the ink is still shiny & wet.
What we do. Hung on the walls of where we do it, at our Friendship studio.
