Glow In The Dark Series
Our glow-in-the-dark Studio Ghibli screen prints were created for Bottleneck Gallery’s “When The Lights Go Off” exhibitions in New York.
The prints combines a ligne claire style with an architectural flourish. Rather than simply producing a glowing version of the design, the intention was to use the glow-in-the-dark ink to add a different layer of meaning to the print when the lights go off.

My Neighbour Totoro: Semper Fortis Semper Fidilis
This image sees Satsuki and her younger sister Mei waving merrily as a giant Totoro flies past over head. During the night, a grinning Catbus sits above the Kusakabe’s “East-Meets-West” style abode, whilst Tetsuo Kusakabe, shown in silhouette, wonders what his daughters are getting up to.

Princess Mononoke: Mors Incerta Vita Incerta
