Original artwork description:

Here at id-iom HQ we're honour-bound to respond when inspiration strikes. So when I had what I thought was a fairly simple idea to create a halftone stencil from one of my designs I was under the impression it would be plain sailing. Countless hours and multiple design dead-ends later and I am finally happy with my creation. It turns out that turning a line drawing with a little shading into halftone suitable as a one layer stencil isn't quite as easy as I had imagined. It always wants to leave solid black areas black or have them black with small white dots. And that's not what I was after. But I got there in the end.

Anyway, enough of my travails. This eye-popping young lady doesn't want to be defined by lines or colours and so has decided to represent herself with a series of small black dots which, when taken together, give the exact impression she was after. Here she is hanging out in front of her favourite wallpaper made in small batches by blind monks from the submarine kingdom of Atlantis in the mid to late 60's. I expect she'll instagram it. Or perhaps she's now on Vero too.

Cheers
