Timorous Beasties is one of the very few companies who still use silk screen printing. I found this very interesting as it is the printing method that I have been taught throughout college and I feel I am skilled at. Using silk screens limits you to colours as each colour means a different silk screen, However the layered up look which makes it look more colourful and busy is what I like to do with my work and I seem to have been influenced by Timorous Beasties.

The pictures I have included in this blog post are just a few of my favourite designs from Timorous Beasties. The use of bright colours and textured like patterns and techniques such as watercolour and bleach. The bottom photo also shows the use of positive and negative space. Timorous Beasties is a inspiring company which influences a lot of creatives.
