A series of single color 18x24" screen prints inspired by the platonic solids and their corresponding ancient elements.
Mockups created using final artwork. I made these after the printing for use as product shots. The initial version of this had similar color palette, but tweaks were made during printing as I saw the pigment on the paper.
Original artwork before halftone conversion. Photos were sourced was https://unsplash.com/. Obviously lots of manipulation going here. This is actually a desktop wallpaper (one of about 50) I also made while working on the print production.

Love the red my screen printer and I were able to mix for the Fire Prism.
Shoutout to Dan at Vahalla Studios (no affiliation) for lots of help and guidance.
I was definitely more concerned with a cohesive palette than any one color. Although, at 18x24" anyone attempting to hang these together is going to need a lot of wall space. The next time I do series, it will be smaller.

Pulling prints off the press onto the racks... And repeat. (This is not me,)
Final limited edition prints numbered and ready for shipping. We ran about 120 of each print to get 100 perfect ones for hand numbering and selling.
Each print is stamped with the Platonic Press brand and hand numbered on the back.
Voila!
